Chapter E012 – Rosenweil Falls
Leon's POV:
The scene shifts to a different place, one day after Hecate’s meticulous planning.
It was Monday morning, and the national exam period had just begun.
This meant that for the next few days, a significant portion of students across the country, roughly 30% of the Ascension Player base in the Japan server, would be offline, preoccupied with their exams. The remaining 70% consisted mostly of social workers, business people, or NEETs—Players who had no obligations to the exams.
This moment was perfect for Leon.
It was the prime opportunity to carry out his audacious plan: a coup to take over the Rosenweil Kingdom. He had been biding his time, waiting for the right moment to strike, and this exam period offered the perfect cover. With fewer players online, especially the rival guilds like the powerful Prominence Guild, Leon could move quickly and covertly.
Leon himself was a student, but unlike the rest, he had used his privileges to postpone all his exams. He wasn’t going to let something as trivial as exams get in the way of his ambitions. Astrid and Grim, his closest allies, had done the same, ensuring they would be fully available for the operation.
"It's almost time,"
Leon muttered under his breath, his voice barely audible above the sound of rushing water from the Rosenweil Waterway.
