Genius Swordsman In Reverse Game

A large speaker installed at the front vibrated the heart.

Boom-! Woosh-!

Colorful lights shot down from the sky.

The music started to play, and the atmosphere gradually heated up. People who were playing or resting by the sea gradually gathered at the concert venue.

"The lineup for this festival is really amazing."

"Yeah, almost all the top-tier celebrities are here, right? And look at this venue. They must have spent a fortune on this."

"Wow, look at that over there. That's a giant hologram projector."

"Damn, that's impressive…. They said this would be the biggest festival ever, and they weren't kidding."

The crowd's eyes sparkled with undeniable anticipation.

Backstage, the celebrities who were scheduled to perform began to arrive one by one.

Just as the festival was about to begin, a shocking announcement was made.

"What do you mean? Are you saying that a monster wave will hit this place?" Seo Ah-yoon asked, her face filled with disbelief.

"Yes," Shin Se-hee replied calmly, nodding.

"But how… We've been conducting safety inspections excessively for the past six months…"

"We just received the information that a monster wave will occur simultaneously with the creation of the gate," Shin Se-hee explained.

Seo Ah-yoon bit her lip at Shin Se-hee's words.

"Why does it have to be today…"

It was like a bolt from the blue, an utterly unexpected turn of events.

As shocking and sudden as it was, there was no reason to doubt it.

The girl before them was none other than Shin Se-hee, the famous Cheohwa. How could anyone ignore her presence?

Recently, the hottest party produced by the Velvet Hunter Academy, Utopia, was rumored to be controlled by her behind the scenes.

'If we stop the festival now, the losses will be immense…'

Seo Ah-yoon's mind raced as she thought about the money already spent, the refunds that would need to be issued, and the various additional expenses that would go to waste.

However, as someone with experience in the industry, Seo Ah-yoon quickly began to think of a solution.

'But if there are casualties, that would be a far more terrible outcome…'

It would be more than just terrible.

It would be a nightmarish scenario that could potentially end her career. Money could be earned back, but a damaged reputation would be irreparable.

In that sense, it was fortunate that they had learned of the impending disaster before the festival had fully started.

Indeed, the VIP ticket she had sent to the chairman had ended up saving her life.

'Yes, it would be foolish to cling to this festival. I need to quickly identify evacuation routes and request cooperation from the guards.'

Having made her decision, Seo Ah-yoon bowed deeply to Shin Se-hee and said in a firm voice, "We will stop the festival immediately. Thank you for letting us know before an irreversible catastrophe could occur."

Looking down at her, Shin Se-hee smiled and asked casually, "What if I told you that you could continue the festival without any problems?"

Seo Ah-yoon's eyes widened in surprise at Shin Se-hee's suggestion.

"What do you mean?

Dong – Dong – Dong –

Thud.

The loud music and drumbeats suddenly stopped, replaced by a high-pitched alarm and flashing red lights.

"What… what's going on?"

"Wait a minute! What's that sound?"

At first, the crowd was confused, but their expressions slowly turned grim as they realized the situation.

"It's the alert sound… and it's Level 1."

"Oh no! I didn't bring anything with me today because I just came to have fun!"

"We're screwed. Are monsters going to appear here suddenly?"

"Where are the guards?"

In the Gate era, everyone knew what this sound meant.

A Level 1 emergency alert.

Hearing this sound caused everyone to heighten their vigilance. It meant that there was a high possibility of monsters appearing and attacking humans.

It signaled that people should immediately return to their homes and lock the doors, or arm themselves and find a way to survive.

However, with everyone in swimsuits and the open venue, there was little room to escape.

"Could this be… part of the festival event?"

Someone in the crowd suggested.

"That's ridiculous! How could they use an emergency alert as a festival event? They would be doomed if they did that!"

The emergency alert was no joke. It was not something to be taken lightly or treated as a prank.

"Uh, well, I was just wondering… never mind."

"Don't say nonsense like that and get ready to evacuate. There should be guards here too."

Although the crowd was in disarray, they remained surprisingly calm.

People living in the Gate era received thorough education from a young age. They knew that panicking and acting rashly in such situations could lead to losing their lives first.

"Stay calm, everyone! It's going to be fine! The Velvet Hunter Academy and the Hunter Management Bureau will be here soon too."

Their faith in their nation's hunters also played a significant role in keeping them composed. Despite the constant criticism of their response times and exaggerated abilities, the people still trusted their hunters deeply.

This trust was reinforced by the recent successful handling of simultaneous S-grade and A-grade gate openings with minimal casualties.

Whooosh –

Just then, a hologram projector in the sky illuminated a man's figure.

"Hey, look over there!"

"What's that?"

"Who is that guy? He's so handsome."

"He looks familiar… wait, isn't that girl behind him Fighting Dog?"

"Yeah, it is! And I think that's Soup and Ga-eul too! Could that be… Jin Yuha?"

The man in the hologram was barely clothed, with his hair combed forward, and his usual aura altered by makeup. Some people who had tried to approach him earlier in the day recognized him and exclaimed in surprise.

As the crowd realized it was Jin Yuha and his party, Utopia, their anxious faces slowly brightened.

Utopia was a famous hunter party that had been gaining tremendous popularity lately.

Initially, they faced various rumors and speculations, but they gradually established their presence and impressed the world with their skills through YouTube videos. They were now a well-known and highly supported party, both in name and reality.

It was no wonder that the crowd was thrilled to see them.

"It's Utopia! The Utopia party is here!"

"We're saved!"

"Thank you! Thank you so much!"

As everyone felt relieved, Jin Yuha, projected as a hologram, spoke.

-Hello, everyone.

"Wow… whoa."

"His body… and that outfit… incredible."

"That voice…"

"I watch his videos every day, but seeing him in 3D like this is on another level."

"Well, it is a 3D hologram, after all."

Despite the emergency situation, the crowd was stunned by his stunning visuals.

"Wait, is that really Jin Yuha? Wasn't he the super-handsome guy I tried to hit on earlier today?"

"Now that I think about it, there was a girl who looked like Kang Do-hee, but I didn't think it was her… I can't believe it's really them."

-I know this situation is unexpected and confusing, but please pay attention for a moment.

However, contrary to his words, the crowd was far from confused. They were too captivated by his face to pay attention to anything else.

-Let me assure you that this is a real situation, and it was unpredictable.

But fortunately, we were invited to this Haeundae Festival, and we are currently staying here. So, rest assured that you are safe.

His voice was reassuring, but his next words left everyone puzzled.

-So, I ask that you continue with the festival.

…?

What did he mean?

With the possibility of a disaster looming, how could they continue the festival?

Was he implying that they could handle the monsters with their party's strength and that everyone should relax?

Even for Utopia, that seemed like overconfidence.

-The monsters approaching this place are A-grade monsters, Blue Crabs. They move in groups and tend to attack their targets in swarms.

The image of A-grade monsters approaching in hordes made the crowd's faces darken.

-They are sensitive to vibrations and sounds, so they tend to avoid loud noises. That's why we need your cooperation.

The louder you are with your festival, the safer you will be, and the more we can concentrate the monsters on us.

Ah.

Only then did the crowd understand what Jin Yuha meant. However, they still looked uncertain.

Continuing the festival.

It sounded simple, but it was easier said than done.

How could they enjoy the festival with their lives at stake?

Would they have to shout until they lost their voices?

Just then –

Zzazaajak -!

The hologram projector turned off, and the dark venue was illuminated again.

The lights focused on the stage, revealing a figure.

The crowd's eyes widened as they turned to look.

"Is that… Cheohwa?"

"Shin Se-hee? Why is she here…?"

"Oh, that's right! Shin Se-hee is the operator of Utopia!"

"Since she's not a combat specialist, she stayed here!"

With the abundance of information about Utopia already circulating, the crowd quickly understood the situation.

And they felt even more relieved.

Even though she might not be as powerful as Kang Do-hee or Jin Yuha, Shin Se-hee still possessed formidable abilities. The crowd felt even safer knowing she was there.

"Hello, everyone!"

Shin Se-hee smiled brightly and waved at the crowd, then cutely tapped her chest with her hand.

"For now, I, the operator of Utopia, will be in charge of ensuring your safety here!"

"Waaaaahhhhhh – !!!!!"

Having just heard Jin Yuha's words and feeling deeply relieved, the crowd erupted in loud cheers.

"Hehehe, our party leader, Jin Yuha, asked you to enjoy the festival, didn't he? But you can't enjoy it without something to spice it up! So, I will be your commentator and MC for this event!"

Tak -!

As Shin Se-hee snapped her fingers,

The hologram above their heads lit up again.

It showed Utopia party members, including Jin Yuha, drawing their weapons while in their swimsuits.

In the distance, a large number of monsters emerged from the sea, their eyes glowing menacingly.

"Huh?"

The crowd was puzzled by the sudden turn of events.

"Now, let's… start the party and cheer for Utopia's battle, shall we?"

With those words, a powerful beat filled the air,

Dong – Dong – Dong – Dong -!

And the Haeundae Beach Festival resumed.
