Chapter 52: Last hope (1)

A week after the speech to retire from being the Master, the word spread throughout <Chaos>.

-Anyone who wishes to become a Master, challenge me! But if you lose, you will go to the <Depth>!

It fueled the fire in the minds of the people of <Chaos>. Anyone powerful enough was going to have a chance to become a Master of the fortress. It was very tempting. The rumor that the new Master was a [Non-Adapter] served to fuel the fire even more.

'No way! How can the Master be a Non-Adapter?'

'It's true! The elders and officers of the Ten-Clan confirmed it!'

The rumors spread quickly.

'How did a Non-Adapter become a master?'

'Is he from the Palace of Reincarnation?'

'No way. Lords or Renowned families are not allowed to interfere in <Chaos>.'

There were some who were suspicious of Jaehwan's intentions.

'What is he up to?'
