At last, today has come.
The opening day of the league!
How much we suffered through the off-season.
Ẃe b̀ n̂о̆ v еl̃ Е̊n̈u m̂ а́
We remember the thrill of the record-breaking 82-round race.
We vividly remember the performances of world-class golden prospects said to be more precious than green diamonds.
We remember the leadership of the Mountain King, a man who himself is a legend.
And the Mountain King is a god, and Lee Shin is invincible.

The legend being written in history together with Lee Shin.
We remember.

So gather, ten million Dragon Fans who have suffered from ticket shortages!
~Busan Station~
Every arriving train was spewing out fans from all over the Korean Peninsula.
How can you be sure they’re all Dragon Fans, you ask?
On the day before the League 2 opener, from early morning, people were stepping off trains already wearing clothes printed with the Mir Guild’s dragon emblem. If you don’t call them Dragon Fans, then who else would be?
Missing this chance would be idiotic.

And luckily, the officials of Busan weren’t idiots.
From the entrance of Busan Station, banners had already been set up.
< “Busan congratulates the Mir Guild on promotion to League 2.” >
< Strongest Mir! This season too, legends are made☆! >
Inside the station, all sorts of Mir Guild merchandise were on sale.
Of course, the guides and Busan Station staff were completely drained dealing with the endless flood of people.

“Crazy……”
“This is insane. I knew it would be big, but……”

“The firepower is real.”
Mad firepower, unbelievable popularity, unmatched unity and unrivaled fighting power!
That’s how people described the Dragon Fans, but ordinary folks who didn’t roam the lawless online community world couldn’t easily feel it firsthand.
In truth, even Dragon Fans themselves were the same.
Е n̆ ūm̌ a. í d
On the internet, they were warlords and keyboard warriors, but you never really got to meet in person.
If you told rival fans about this, they would definitely reply like this:
— “So did you even go watch in person~?”
— “It’s just the 3rd division. Go to the stadium, what’s the problem, no money? lol”

Then Dragon Fans would flip the bird and reply like this:
— “You f***ers lol talking like it’s easy. You think tickets just drop in your lap like they do for you?”
Wӗ b n о̌v̀е.l̂ Е ṅu m а̃
— “Failed to get tickets all yearㅠㅠㅠㅠ scalpers don’t even sell! Season passes are all fully booked!!”
— “Take my moneyㅠ just take itㅠㅠ”
This year, the official fan club “Dragon Era” has 680,000 members.
Including unaffiliated fans, the total is estimated at least 1 million.
Think about it: a maximum of maybe 100,000 fans fighting for a 10,000-seat stadium, versus a minimum of 1 million fans fighting for a 5,000-seat stadium—do you think the difficulty is the same, you idiot?!
But at last, it became possible.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Dragon King’s Palace capacity: 100,000.
It was the largest league stadium in Korea and a place that could hold all the firepower of the Dragon Fans.
— “Why only you guys! Let me see the opener too!!”
— “They said it’s 100,000 seatsㅠ but I failed ticketing againㅠㅠㅠㅠ refresh till death”
……A stadium that could hold “just a little more” had been prepared.
And at this new stadium, League 2’s first step, the beginning of another legend, would be declared.
Е̇nù m̂ а . і d̄
If you could resist this, you weren’t a real Dragon Fan!
At that moment—

“I’ve arrived.”
The perfect man of this era, Park Seong-cheol, who today became known as the “Exit Gallery Guy,” set foot on Busan soil.
All eyes instantly turned to him. Whispers broke out all around.
Was it because of his looks? No—it was because of the limited-edition jacket he was wearing!
Е ń û ḿ а.і̂ d̄
“What’s that? Never seen that jacket before?”
“Oh, I remember! That was released as an early event in the gallery.”
“……I’m jealous. Should I ask if he’ll sell it?”
With so much attention, anyone else might have gotten cocky, but Park Seong-cheol’s mind was icy cold.

This wasn’t the time to get excited over things like that.
“No time to waste.”
Е n̂ um̌а
Taking a deep breath, he walked quickly.
There wasn’t much time left until the game started. Urgency pressed him.
His pace quickened, and before he knew it, he was running.
As soon as he ran, others nearby, sensing the urgency, also started running.
They recognized each other.
Naïve kids wouldn’t know, but this was already a battlefield.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
No blood was spilled, but it was a true battleground where heart and soul were on the line.
He slipped out through the back exit of Busan Station.
Many people didn’t know Busan Station had a back door, but to get to Yeongdo quickly, this was the way.
As a Busan native, Park Seong-cheol knew this, and instead of hailing a car, he tapped his phone on a nearby rental bike.
“Taking a car into Yeongdo would be the dumbest move.”
That would be ignoring the firepower of the Dragon Fans.
E̊n û m̃а̃
And just as he expected—
Soon enough, he saw traffic at a standstill.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The bridge wasn’t even in sight yet, and it was already this bad. Inside would be worse, not better.
And sure enough…… after pedaling hard, he reached the Yeongdo Bridge, and there was only one word to describe it:
Parking lot.
“Wow, holy sh*t……”
Ӗn̂ ů mа̊
Even Park Seong-cheol, a top-tier keyboard warrior, was overwhelmed.
What insane firepower was this?
He was sure more than 90% of them were Dragon Fans. Without true love, it made no sense that people could sit in that gridlock without complaint, happy just to be there.
Police were mobilized in full force to clear the congestion, but Park Seong-cheol only grew more anxious.

He pedaled harder, and after about 10 more minutes—
At last, he arrived. The new stadium……no, calling it just a stadium felt wrong. Overwhelmed by the sheer size, grandeur, and brilliance of this urban palace, Park Seong-cheol shivered.
E n̄ ù ṁа
“This is insane. What is this?”
On the boulevards, Mir’s flags fluttered everywhere, congratulatory banners hung like an array of international flags.
Restaurants, pubs open even in broad daylight, cafés displaying rare merchandise—all were showing the Mir Guild broadcast for their customers.
Every tree, every shop, every streetlight was Mir Guild.
The entire district was Mir Guild.
And as you soaked in all this Mir Guild atmosphere, naturally your gaze was drawn down the grand boulevard to the immense and beautiful stadium beyond.

Dragon King’s Palace.
Now he understood why it was called that.
Like how old royal cities were built around a palace, this entire district had been built and centered around the stadium.
“F***ing huge.”
The old Dragon Palace couldn’t compare.
The towering walls were so high you couldn’t even see the flags, so massive you couldn’t take it in with a single glance.
Ѐ ň üm̄ a. i̊ d
If its size overwhelmed you first, entering inside would stun you with its luxury.
Impossibly upscale—concessions, restrooms, every facility was spotless and refined.

But what shocked Park Seong-cheol most was—
“Wait, is this all marble? Are they insane?”
The interior was decorated with marble as the base.
It really felt like they had transplanted a palace. How much money did this cost?
Е n̂u m̆ а̂
You couldn’t even guess the expense if you decorated a private home like this, and this was a stadium.
A 100,000-seat stadium, covered in such luxury?
When he saw that even the ceiling lights were crystal, Park Seong-cheol trembled.
This was the power of the LeeDo Group, spoken of only in rumors, now clear before his eyes.

But even that awe soon gave way to something more.
After taking photos, shopping for merchandise as spoils of victory from the arrival war, he finally stepped into the stadium proper.
Wе̃bnо̂v̌ е l E̊ n u m а̊
And then, a sudden wave of emotion struck him.
“They kept this.”
Truly, you couldn’t let your guard down for even a second.
Unlike the lavish interior, the entrance passage remained the rough brick tunnel from the old Dragon Palace days.
A dark passage that evoked memories of the long dark era.
Lee Shin had once shown in a recruitment video for the Mountain King:

“The exit is not gone. You just took the wrong path. Now I will make the path for you.”
It was a devotion to the fans who had walked with them, and Park Seong-cheol, touched by Lee Shin’s thoughtfulness, slowly brushed his hand along the rough walls as he walked.
And then—
When he passed through the dark tunnel and entered the stadium at the end of the light, he cheered like a boy visiting his first game long ago, hand in hand with his father.
“Uwaaaaaah!”
It was the universe.
E_n̄ u̇m а̊
Ten thousand stars forming a Milky Way around the central arena’s magical currents were so dazzling it was overwhelming.
Tears welled up in Park Seong-cheol’s eyes.

Joy. Emotion. Sublimity. Awe.
To be one of those hundred thousand stars felt like a miracle, something precious.
LeeDo, who pursued only the best, had carved and polished this place, while Lee Shin, devoted heart and soul to the guild, poured everything he had into it.
The greatest stadium in the history of this nation.
Ě n̊ u m̀а
The greatest stadium in the world.
Dragon King’s Palace.
The starting point of legend.

But where there is light, there is darkness.
Just as brilliant light casts deep shadows, the dazzling leap of the Mir Guild plunged many into darkness.

So it was with Lee Myung-hwan’s Dynasty Guild.
Lee Myung-hwan, holding a liquor bottle, was watching the opening match of League 2.
— “Hydra will respawn soon. Mir Guild, forming up! They light up vision with wards and take control of the bush!”
— “DP Guild is deluded! Why do they keep insisting on 5v5 teamfights? Teamfights at major objectives are Mir Guild’s strongest and most confident scenario!”
— “Last season, Mir Guild never once lost a fight at a major objective. Even if it was only League 3, DP Guild cannot afford to overlook this stat… Ahhh!!”
— “No!! Don’t go after Park Su-bin!!”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Despite the commentators’ screams echoing from the TV, DP Guild lunged at Park Su-bin, who had stepped to the front line, and once again the dreaded “Su-bin Time,” seen endlessly in League 3, began.
— “He fuses the spheres into an electric AoE, raises a wall of spheres to block the tank’s dash, deflects arrows with ease, and then shifts form! The giant of magic slams his fist down! But not on the enemy—on the ground! My god, the terrain is changing. Mass stun! Earthquake!! For defense, for offense, and now even CC!! And here comes Yurira, as always, right on cue!! She ends the teamfight!!”
— “Welcome—Mir Guild is new to you, isn’t it?”
— “This is Mir Guild, this is Lee Shin’s children! Park Su-bin’s teamfight setup and Yu Rira’s clutch play!”
— “I won’t say much more. Players of League 2, be on guard. The dragon here is terrifyingly strong. And terrifyingly brutal.”
— “The Nexus is destroyed, and the match ends! Mir Guild claims victory in the opening match against DP Guild…”
Е̊ ǹ u m̆à .ï d
-Thud
The TV shut off, and in the darkness Lee Myung-hwan took a swig from the bottle.

“Hoo… this is driving me mad.”
It may not seem like much, but the opening match is quite important.
Some even believe that the star of the opening match becomes the star of the league itself. Because of its weight, every guild pulls strings and spends enormous resources to claim the glory of the opener.
Lee Myung-hwan’s Dynasty Guild too had spared no effort or expense to be slotted into the opening, and thanks to that, both last year and the year before, they managed to secure that honor.
Е ńû m а̇ .і̌ d
…But this year, it didn’t work at all.
— “It’s been decided as Mir Guild. No changes.”
From the league office’s perspective, how could they not favor Mir Guild?
They were a prestigious name that had been there since the league’s inception with an eccentric but reliably purchasing fanbase.

On top of that, they had climbed steadily from League 4 to League 3 without tricks or shortcuts, surpassing legends and now becoming icons of the league itself. How could the office not adore them?
Now, there was no way back for Lee Myung-hwan.
W ê b̂_n̄ ov̇е̌ ľ. Ӗ n ũ.m а
Public interest, popularity—everything was bound to be overshadowed. If, on top of that, he even lost…
At that point, Lee Myung-hwan’s very existence in this world would vanish.
That sense of crisis awakened him.
His blurred eyes regained focus, and he tossed the bottle in his hand, along with every other bottle of liquor in the cabinet, into the trash.
Then he picked up the phone.
“Jung Sumi, come to the guild. Now.”
