Chapter 108: Soul Art Online (4)
The White Gym.
A gym where trainers, so pale they seemed eerie, roamed about. Initially, during the first classification of anomalous phenomena, it was rated as an F-grade anomaly.
It wasn’t just an anomaly—it was dangerous enough to cost lives, thus labeled a “phenomenon.” However, the benefits far outweighed the risks, and survival was relatively easy, so it was classified as an F-grade phenomenon.
Still, the phenomenon provided a significant soul-strengthening effect, so rather than extinguishing it, people decided to keep using it.
For fame, for revenge, for countless reasons to grow stronger, people used this phenomenon.
And so, the workouts continued.
The more the training progressed, the stronger the trainers became—strong enough to kill a participant of the Cheonji Entry Examination with a single blow.
After that incident, the gym was reclassified as a C-grade phenomenon.
Naturally, as a C-grade phenomenon that threatened humanity, a raid team was organized. That raid team was annihilated.
