"So… why hasn't the President arrived yet?"
Eriri finally pulled her gaze away from the zombies below. Instinctively, she stepped back toward the building, her voice carrying a faint trace of unease.
Asuna remained calm. While observing the zombies' movements, she spoke in a steady tone, trying to adapt to the situation.
"He said he needed to handle some clan matters first. He might be a little late."
For all of them—
This was their first time facing an apocalyptic world.
And each reacted differently.
Eriri avoided looking directly at the zombies. Fear made her instinctively retreat, even though they were standing on the rooftop of the tallest building—completely out of reach.
Asuna, on the other hand, suppressed her fear after the initial shock. She began analyzing the situation instead, carefully studying how the zombies moved.
Lu Linglong also stepped back slightly. She was clearly nervous, but still forced herself to observe.
After all—
Their mission was to kill one hundred zombies each.
That wasn't going to be easy.
Even with chakra—
It was still dangerous.
"Why don't we just ask in the guild chat?"
Utaha glanced around, counting their numbers.
"There are only four of us here… me, Eriri, Asuna, and Linglong."
She paused slightly.
"…We're missing someone."
The guild had seven members.
Excluding Saeko, who belonged to this world, and Liu Yun, who hadn't arrived yet—
There was still one more.
The quiet one.
Inori.
Eriri immediately tagged her.
"@Inori Why didn't you come? Don't tell me you don't know how to use it. I can teach you! Just click the template and you'll be able to travel!"
Then she quickly tagged Liu Yun as well.
"@President Liu Yun! Boss! Are you ready yet? We're already here! Just waiting for you!"
A reply came.
"Inori: I have something to deal with here. I won't be able to join this mission."
Eriri pouted slightly.
"Oh… that's a shame. We can't meet offline then…"
"Inori: There will be other chances… probably."
Utaha nodded thoughtfully.
"If the system keeps refreshing templates, then yes—there should be more opportunities."
At that moment—
Saeko's message appeared.
"IAmNotAPsychopath: Oh? You're already here? Then I'll come out to meet you right away."
Meanwhile—
Liu Yun had already seen the messages.
Without hesitation, he activated the transfer.
In front of him, a swirling, multicolored vortex slowly formed.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully sensing it.
This power…
Was something he couldn't comprehend at all.
Crossing dimensions—
A force beyond understanding.
If one day he could do this without relying on the guild…
That would truly be something.
With that thought, Liu Yun stepped forward—
And entered the vortex.
His vision blurred for a brief moment.
Just a moment.
Then—
Another vortex appeared before him.
He stepped out calmly.
As if walking on flat ground.
The transition was seamless.
Effortless.
Instant.
That alone was enough to prove—
Just how terrifying the guild truly was.
"HE'S HERE!!"
Eriri's eyes lit up the moment the vortex appeared, her voice filled with excitement.
As Liu Yun's number one fan—
She didn't even try to hide it.
But she wasn't the only one.
Linglong, Utaha, and even Asuna—
All turned toward the vortex.
The mysterious President.
They were finally going to meet him.
A figure slowly stepped out.
And the moment they saw him—
They froze.
Eriri blinked.
The man before her looked almost unreal.
Sharp, well-defined features—as if carved to perfection.
A natural aura of authority surrounded him, like someone who had long stood at the top.
His skin was fair.
His expression calm.
A faint, carefree smile rested on his lips.
Handsome—
But more than that—
Commanding.
Eriri had never seen someone like him before.
"Wow… President is so handsome…"
Linglong's eyes sparkled as she stared at Liu Yun, completely captivated.
Even in her sect, where talented individuals were common—
No one came close.
Not even Zhang Lingyu.
There was something about him—
His presence.
His aura.
It was… irresistible.
Asuna and Utaha were more composed.
Though both were briefly stunned, they quickly regained themselves and stepped forward.
"President, nice to meet you."
They spoke at the same time—
Then paused.
And glanced at each other.
…That was unexpected.
Liu Yun smiled slightly.
"Asuna. Utaha. Nice to meet you."
Seeing them in person—
Even he felt a faint sense of nostalgia.
In this modern setting…
Surrounded by people in contemporary clothing—
It almost felt like he had returned to his original world.
Even though—
This wasn't his world.
"Boss!"
Eriri rushed forward, finally letting go of her earlier tension.
To them—
They had expected someone distant.
Cold.
Unapproachable.
After all—
He was the President of a multiverse guild.
And in his own world—
A clan leader with overwhelming strength.
Someone like that—
Shouldn't be easy to approach.
But—
Liu Yun was different.
Calm.
Gentle.
Approachable.
That faint smile on his lips—
Carried a strange sense of reassurance.
And just like that—
The distance between them—
Disappeared
