Marco, the CEO of Golden Age Company, was deeply engrossed in his work in his office room. He was sifting through an array of progress reports on the Immortal Legacy game. The standout player was consistently the Sloth Champion, who seemed to be acquiring a
remarkable assortment of achievements that should have been impossible to attain so quickly by any other players.
Most recently, the Sloth Champion had obtained the Demon Egg from the Named Demon’s Trial Domain. Marco sighed, contemplating the implications if Broken actually managed to hatch the egg. Although Marco felt confident that it wouldn’t be an easy task for him, especially because access to the Demon’s World shouldn’t be achievable anytime soon.
However, there was a distinct possibility that Broken’s recent interactions with the Shadow Wolves could pave the way. If that were the case, Broken would gain even more assets in his arsenal, steadily transforming himself into a genuine game-breaker.
Additionally, the Unique-grade class, currently the highest grade in the game, was another point of concern. Broken had, once again, obtained a Unique-grade class, and this particular one was astoundingly powerful! It possessed a skill that could instantly solve puzzles within the game or even unlock any door, which would indeed be quite troublesome.
Out of the six Unique-grade classes released to players, Broken owned half of them. Marco sighed heavily at that realization. If Broken were to participate in competitions involving puzzles, he would easily outclass everyone else.
Marco continued to review the progress reports from various top players in the game. While Broken was undeniably a standout, there were a few other players who had been in the game longer and achieved extraordinary feats.
Some of them were also Unique-class holders, and there were several divine champions who, through sheer hard work, had reached incredible heights. They had completed high-level towers, conquered super rare Trial Domains, and even defeated high-ranking Named
Demons.
It appeared that in the upcoming competitions, these players with remarkable potential would truly start to emerge. This was an opportunity to introduce the world to those who had intentionally kept a low profile, avoiding the leaderboards and rankings.
Of course, those who were visible on the ranking dashboards were certainly not to be underestimated. The grand competition, known as the Eternal Challenge, was gearing up to be so monumental that it would be remembered until the next grand event rolled around each year.
Marco thought about this with great confidence, envisioning the scale and impact of what was to come.
Suddenly, an alarm beeped from the small device near his monitor, jolting Marco from his thoughts. freёwebnovel.com
[Someone has achieved an extraordinary feat in the game.]
The notification popped up in the upper right-hand corner of his monitor. Marco had set notifications for the night to alert him only for things that surpassed a specific threshold- especially since it was already 2 a.m. But what could have triggered his notification center at this hour?
Curious but cautious, he decided to hold off on checking immediately and instead opted to join his employees in the main control room. He quickly grabbed his jacket and stepped out of his room.
As he entered the control room, the big screen lit up with a video recording of a player currently navigating a high-level Trial Domain.
“What’s happening at this hour?” Marco asked.
“Can you guess who it is, Mr. Marco?” one of his employees replied. “Someone has pulled off yet another significant feat.”
“And what is it now?” Marco muttered, glancing at the player’s identity on the screen. “Another extraordinary feat by him?” he said, shaking his head in disbelief.
His employee continued, “The Elemental Labyrinth is supposed to be an incredibly difficult trial domain, yet he managed to complete it in just 42 minutes! Not even a full day!”
The employee went on, “This is the fastest record someone’s ever set for completing a Trial Domain, and he did it on his first attempt. I think the set of skills and whatever else this Sloth Champion possesses are truly breaking the game.”
Marco took a deep breath. “At this point,” he began, “I believe we can no longer ignore his progress. We need to provide him with more supervision, both within the game and outside of it. He is an anomaly. His accomplishments have been so consecutive and extraordinary that they’re well beyond what we consider ‘normal.’ Many people might assume he’s cheating.” “His progress is extraordinarily good,” the employee remarked. “Don’t you think this is too excessive, Mr. Marco? What if he becomes too powerful and uncontrollable? It’s only been seven months Yunatea Time since he was crowned Champion of Sloth, yet he’s already reached a level comparable to players who have spent much more time in the game.”
Marco paused for a moment, taking a deep breath. “All of the success Broken has achieved is a combination of good fortune, hard work, and the blessings he has received. However-” He trailed off, falling silent again.
His employee then asked, “Does this have anything to do with the Eternal Challenge, the grand competition happening in a few months, Mr. Marco?”
The employee continued, “But is it really possible that his progress won’t be halted?”
Marco shook his head slowly. “There’s so much to explore in Yunatea, countless levels and greater powers to discover. Even with this kind of progress, it could still take him years, possibly decades, to get through it all. But humans aren’t robots; they can’t keep advancing endlessly without getting tired or bored, right?”
Despite his words, Marco sounded a bit uncertain.
“This Broken player doesn’t seem like he’s going to stop working hard anytime soon, Mr. Marco,” the employee insisted.
“I guess so,” Marco replied with a slight nod.
Marco nodded slowly. “If Broken continues to achieve such remarkable accomplishments from here on out, I fear there will be complaints from all over the globe about him.”
He continued, “I plan to meet with Freya to gain a better understanding of the situation. It’s crucial to ensure she’s ready to offer the necessary support if his incredible feats end up putting him in any potential danger.”

[Congratulations to a specific player of Immortal Legacy for their astounding accomplishment! Not only did they complete Trial Domain Level 200 for the first time on their initial attempt, but they did so in an incredible record time of 42 minutes and 28
seconds!]
[That’s simply incredible! Who would’ve thought that someone could achieve so much in such a short amount of time? It’s almost superhuman! Bravo!]
A global notification, something rarely seen, flashed across the visions of all Immortal Legacy players. It was an announcement of an extraordinary achievement, yet it didn’t reveal the player’s name. This anonymity sparked a wave of heated debates and discussions among the
players.
“What? Forty-two minutes for a trial domain?” someone exclaimed in disbelief. “Has this game become easier to play?”
“Level 200 Trial Domain is not something that can be completed so easily, let alone in just 42
minutes.”
“That’s impressive. But what kind of person could complete a trial domain that quickly? Do
you think they might have used a cheat?”
“It’s hard to believe they could finish a trial domain that fast, isn’t it?”
“Of all players, only less than 1% have reached level 200 and above. So, of course, this is an
exceptionally extraordinary achievement.”
“But who? Who could pull off such a feat?”
“I think it must be someone among the Divine Champions. They have powers that seem to
defy the rules of the game!”
“Damn, I wish I could be a divine champion too.”
“The game truly needs rebalancing. Completing a Level 200 Trial Domain in such a short time
and on the first try is just absurd!”
“Could it be that the game is starting to get hacked?”
Maylock, Goldrich, and Toberry, all accompanied by Ivana on their journey to the cave, had
begun discussing the same topic.
Noticing the global notification, Maylock muttered with a sigh, “Broken? The only one
capable of such an extraordinary feat has to be him.”
“Khi khi khi.” Goldrich laughed, “You really do admire him too much.”
“This is a form of recognition, and yeah, I bet the player mentioned in the global announcement is Broken. After all, he’s currently tackling the Trial Domain, isn’t he? I’m sure
he’s already finished it. If I’m wrong, I’ll run naked through the city, shouting ‘Goldrich is the
coolest guy in Yunatea,'” he added with a smirk.
“I’ll take you up on that challenge. Khi khi khi.”
