Chapter 583

[Player Seong Jihan has become an official administrator, a 'Term-Limited Administrator'.]

[The administrator name is 'Blue Administrator' and the jurisdiction is NO. 4212, 'Humanity'.]

[The administrator system is fully opened to the new official administrator.]

A message appeared as soon as he accepted the promotion to term-limited administrator.

Seong Jihan frowned at the list of administrator system items that popped up below.

'Why are there so many?'

In fact, he could see these items even as a temporary administrator.

But since they were inaccessible due to being temporary, he had only looked at them.

'When I was temporary, I could only access humanity, myself, and the Blue stat, right?'

Even though there were countless accessible items now,

Those three were still the most crucial.

Seong Jihan, having become an administrator, examined these items.

'Let's start with myself.'

When he opened 'Seong Jihan' in the administrator menu,

A system window identical to his current status window appeared.

He had thought it was the same as the regular status window even as a temporary administrator.

However,

'I think there used to be a distortion level... It seems to have disappeared now that I'm official.'

While there was a distortion level for stats when he was temporary,

Now that he became an official administrator, that item had completely disappeared.

So the administrator menu became even more identical to his current status window.

Except for 'Administrator Authority' being quantified at the very end, it was completely the same.

'Administrator Authority is 1 million, huh...'

[It's a value given by default when you become an official administrator. It's quite a lot at the beginning.]

'Really? The amount Yggdrasil gave me for free to subdue you was also 1 million. Quite generous.'

[Was it? Even for the Green Administrator, that's quite an investment.]

The Red Administrator they tried to capture with a million investment was still alive in the Blue and Red,

And Yggdrasil, who was the master of the World Tree Alliance, gave everything to Urd and fell.

Seong Jihan closed the status window because the future was truly unpredictable.

'As for the Blue stat...'

Could he aim for a grade above SSS?

With that mindset, Seong Jihan opened the 'Blue' item, but.

[There is no information about the stat 'Blue'. 'Management' of Blue is impossible.]

[Do you want to upload information about 'Blue'?]

The system asked if he wanted to upload the information he had instead.

'If I upload my stat information, can other administrators view it?'

[Of course. It would cost a lot of administrator authority though.]

'Then I shouldn't do it.'

Urd, who was obsessed with the Blue stat.

There was no need to provide her with information about this ability voluntarily.

Besides, there was only EX grade above SSS grade anyway.

Even if Blue could be managed, upgrading its grade with the current 1 million authority wouldn't be possible.

'So Blue is a pass too.'

Then the next thing to look at was the humanity item.

'Hmm. I don't intend to do anything more for humanity.'

Except for being severely beaten by the World Tree Elves,

Humanity was one of the races that benefited the most from BattleNet.

From being a lowest-grade race, they rose to lower-middle grade, greatly increased their lifespan, and significantly reduced illnesses.

They stayed in BattleNet despite being able to escape because humanity had gained so much.

'If I, who became an administrator here, give them more, they might lose the will to leave BattleNet again.'

[Is there a need to leave? Make them your loyal race. Ah... but their level is too low for that. Why don't you just leave humanity as is and take a high-grade race like dragons under your wing instead?]

'You want me to add another burden here?'

[Is there a need to think of them as a burden? If they don't suit you, you can just discard them.]

Come to think of it, this guy even sacrificed his own clan.

Seong Jihan shook his head and opened the humanity item.

Then the status of the human race appeared.

As Seong Jihan was skimming through the information about humanity,

[Affiliated League - Assigning...]

He found an item that caught his eye.

'Now that they've escaped colonial status, are they being assigned to a league again?'

The one good thing about being a colony was that they weren't affiliated with a league.

Now that their ruler was gone, were they being assigned to a league again as a BattleNet-affiliated race?

'Does this mean they'll go back to Silver?'

With the World Tree Alliance completely evaporated, they shouldn't be demoted from the Silver league.

Still, since many of humanity's skilled individuals had their levels reset to become male half-elves, progressing through the league wouldn't be easy.

As Seong Jihan was looking at the affiliated league item,

Ding.

An exclamation mark appeared next to it.

'...What's this?'

These things always brought bad news.

Feeling a strange unease, Seong Jihan clicked on the exclamation mark.

Ziiing...

[An agenda item to assign 'Humanity' to the Challenger League has been raised at the Administrator Meeting.]

A system message appeared next to it.

'What? Challenger League?'

Challenger League.

The highest league that BattleNet-affiliated races could reach in the Space League,

This was where the highest-grade races fiercely competed in bloody battles.

Not only players but also constellations appeared in large numbers to compete in this league,

So the scale of battles was on a completely different level from before.

They wanted to put humanity, who barely managed in Silver, into such a place?

'I need to attend the Administrator Meeting quickly.'

Now was not the time to explore administrator items.

Seong Jihan searched for 'Administrator Meeting' in the administrator system.

Then he found a meeting item with 'In Progress' next to its name.

When Seong Jihan clicked on it,

[Attending the 'Administrator Meeting'.]

As soon as that message appeared,

A white portal appeared before Seong Jihan's eyes.

'This is the power of light.'

Now that he had obtained White Light, he understood.

Even though the White Administrator was sealed, did his power still influence the portal to the meeting place?

Step. Step.

As Seong Jihan moved into it,

Fwooosh...!

A space filled with pure white light appeared.

"Oh my."

In the space of light,

Across from where Seong Jihan was summoned,

Urd, the prototype of elves, was clapping her hands.

"To think you would attend the Administrator Meeting... Has the current White Administrator joined hands with you?"

"Who knows."

"Hehe. This is disappointing. I was just proposing an agenda related to humanity."

Seong Jihan's expression hardened at those words.

"The agenda to assign humanity to the Challenger League... It was you after all."

"That's right. NO. 4212, which gave birth to the Blue Administrator. They certainly deserve to compete in the Challenger League."

"It's absurd for a race that couldn't even pass Silver and became a colony."

"Back then you weren't there, but now you are, right?"

Urd smiled deeply as she said this.

"It would be good for you too if your jurisdiction race is assigned to the Challenger League. The administrator authority they bring you will be much greater. So what do you say? Why don't you cast a vote in favor too?"

"No thanks. I oppose this agenda."

As Seong Jihan said that,

Ziiing...

[Agenda for League Assignment of NO.4212]

[Time limit 00:57:54]

[1 vote in favor, 1 vote against, 1 abstention. The agenda has been rejected for failing to obtain a majority.]

It seemed that the Black Administrator abstained this time too.

Seong Jihan felt a chill down his spine as he saw the 57 minutes left on the time limit.

'If I had been a little late, they might have been assigned to the Challenger League without me knowing.'

In humanity's current state, if they went to the Challenger League, not only would they lose every game, but they might also have suffered great damage outside the game.

The races affiliated with the Challenger League were famous for fighting desperately not only in-game but also outside the game, invading each other and such.

'Even if I could handle Challenger races, if Urd invaded too, there would be no answer.'

Thanks to the White Administrator, they evaded a dangerous moment.

As Seong Jihan was inwardly breathing a sigh of relief,

[Stat 'White Light' increases by 1.]

Flash...!

A white light briefly flashed in Seong Jihan's eyes.

'Hmm... what's this?'

The White Light stat increasing just by standing here.

Certainly, this meeting room was filled with light containing the power of 'White Light' all around,

But he didn't expect it to increase just by standing still.

As Seong Jihan was briefly checking the ability that had increased by 1,

"You've obtained White Light, haven't you?"

Urd smiled brightly as she saw his eyes turn white and then return to normal.

"I shouldn't be the one to say this, but the White Administrator isn't such a trustworthy ally either."

"I know that well. Still, he's probably better than you."

"A common enemy, is it? Oh my, how scary. Two of you ganging up on one term-limited administrator... Shouldn't Black take my side?"

Swish.

As Urd said this, she turned her head to the left.

Then soon, the space filled with light

Sss...

Began to be dyed with purple void.

'What an incredible void...'

Was the Black Administrator coming out from there?

Although he was said to have been released by Urd and gained freedom, the current Black Administrator was still considered the strongest being in BattleNet.

Could he finally see what he looked like?

Seong Jihan was inwardly expectant, waiting for the being to emerge from the void, but

Swoosh...

What appeared there was

"...Is this a helmet?"

A helmet about the size of a human head, made of purple metal.

A steel helmet that looked like something medieval knights would wear with full plate mail.

Just one of those appeared, floating above the void.

Seong Jihan felt somewhat deflated inwardly.

This thing was the strongest in the universe, the Black Administrator...?

'First the Arena Owner's fedora, now this. I guess all void-related beings are like this.'

Still, its power was undeniable.

As purple light flashed from inside the helmet,

The meeting space made of light was immediately divided into light and void.

Just by revealing itself, the Black Administrator split the meeting room into light and darkness.

Zing...

And in front of its helmet, a message window appeared.

[The Black Administrator says he will maintain strict neutrality in this matter.]

"Neutrality? What neutrality? You opposed the earlier agenda, didn't you?"

Zing...

As Urd said this, she opened her palm.

['Convert exile Seong Jihan to experimental subject' agenda has been rejected.]

['Fusion of Green Administrator and exile Seong Jihan' agenda has been rejected.]

['Forced absorption of Blue stat' agenda has been rejected.]

Three agendas that had already been rejected before Seong Jihan entered the meeting appeared.

"Each agenda is a gem."

She was openly making moves through the Administrator Meeting.

Still, for them to be rejected when only Black and Green were present before Seong Jihan arrived...

"Did Black oppose these?"

"Yes. If it's neutrality, shouldn't it not interfere with this too? Interfering with something that could be easily finished."

[The Black Administrator says he cannot tolerate using the Administrator Meeting for personal gain.]

"Personal gain? ...You of all people shouldn't say that to me."

Urd's expression hardened upon seeing the Black Administrator's message.

Come to think of it,

She said she gave 'autonomy' to Black and appointed him as a permanent administrator when she was the White Administrator.

Was she angry because such a being told her not to pursue personal gain?

'Well, it's good from my perspective as an observer.'

Seeing that the Black Administrator opposed those three agendas, it seemed to be trying to maintain neutrality to some extent.

As Seong Jihan was looking at the helmet more favorably than before,

[The Black Administrator presents a mediation proposal regarding NO.4212's league assignment.]

Regarding humanity's Space League assignment,

The Black Administrator directly presented an agenda.
