A man sat lazily on a throne, resting his arms on its sides as he stared at the man kneeling before him.
"What is it now?" the seated man said, his voice dripping with impatience. "Don't tell me the Black Desert Alliance still couldn't invade PAX, even with all the funding we provided?"
"No…" the kneeling man replied.
"The news concerns Gridlock. According to reports from the Black Inn in Sand Worm Oasis, he was last seen fishing inside 'Beyond the Fog.' Meanwhile, rumors are spreading across the Sunscar Kingdom about 'Cheaters' — individuals who can change equipment mid-fight without opening a bag. These Cheaters have been suiciding with Guillotine Blades, as reported by survivors of the attack."
The man on the throne clenched the armrest and abruptly stood.
"Gridlock!" he shouted. "So, he's not dead yet…"
He paced back and forth, hands clasped behind his back. After a deep sigh, he spoke again.
