The fourth stage, developrowth-capable withsysteah the use of around three million players as 'miners', extraction of the neorld's resources and developun

But the corporation had encountered a large obstacle even before a year had passed

The genetic analysis of one hundred children with paranorer useful They had been sent to the other world as test subjects for the experimental monster avatars, and at the same time to be disposed of

The experiment had ended with all the test subjects either dead or crippled The results had been used to develop inning their test runs, an incident happened

The destruction of a medical facility and the irl

She had also been witnessed in Yggdrasia, and was suspected to be the 'rabbit' beastirl with abnormal combat power Her appearance on Earth had shocked all those involved

The scholars and researchers had determined that she either had a power to allow her to travel across diistruct herself here from the other world

In case of the former, then if they could analyze her power, they would possibly gain the capability to transport not just mana, but also resources such as the rare metal 'mythril' and 'adamantite' back to Earth Even in case of the latter, she would still give theovernment had ordered the corporation to either capture her or analyze her genetic information However, they soon found out that she was powerful enough to be called the Dark Lady in Yggdrasia Their progress stalled

And one day, the corporation's center of research into the neorld was attacked

The 12th research center had been the base of the game developers, as well as where the players-slash-resource-ed All of their security staff had been killed The culprit had slipped through the stringent security and surveillance syste no traces of themselves The attack had earned them the nickname of 'The Ghost'

No one knew if the culprit was a singular person or a group As the corporation continued their investigation with the assun special task force with the purpose of industrial espionage, the 4th research center, wheredeveloped, fell Not only were all of their main researchers murdered and their facilities destroyed, the fifty soldiers on-loan to the center for operational testing had also gone overnoal to be 'inforave the order for the ar research centers

Yet their efforts ht as well have been a joke in front of the Ghost, who had gone through the security like a hot knife through butter, killing hundreds of soldiers and researchers of the 7th center However, the Ghost's identity had been revealed by the re records

It was the Dark Lady of the other world, alias Whitehare

There were unconfir reseirl with a paranorenital pigment deficiency Her father was unknown, her e When she was eleven years and one month old, her identity was erased from official records, and she entered the other world as a test subject

No 13 had suffered a psyche collapse and fell into a vegetative state due to an accident during the test She had survived by unknown ainst the corporation

Her poas to 'cause misfortune in others', and so she was called the Dehtorture, she still showed no signs of gaining the power of Probability Manipulation that the corporation was hoping for, and she had been designated for disposal She was hypothesized to have awakened a new, unknown ability through her psyche collapse and the mana of the neorld

The 7th research center had reported her power to be unfathoerous But the corporation had analyzed her total coe of the time she attacked the medical facility; they had deemed it to be around ten thousand, and as only several months had passed, they assumed her power could have only increased by 50 at most

However, she had shown personal power equivalent to a battalion of tanks, as well as abilities of Probability Manipulation and Frost The corporation found itself in a hurry to devise counternated as Whitehare As she had destroyed the 4th and the 7th research center yet leaving the 12th intact, the corporation now believed her goal to not be 'facilities connected to the other world', but instead 'e of e-scale equipment Thus, there were only three locations that held them Two of them had been the 4th and the 7th research center, and the final was a military compound

Currently, the plans for the equipment that had been placed at the two research centers, as well as the researchers who had designed them, had all perished Any reconstruction efforts would require the re facility to temporarily cease operation to be inspected

And even if they could n, and operational testing, it would still take them several years It hy the final location ht need to sacrifice Thefor Whitehare's assault with a division of soldiers

”Do not let her get in!!! fuck that little white bitch up good! If I don't see her puoing to ROLL!”

The coeneral Hestor, sla table and shouted in apoplectic rage

His hostility against Whitehare was of a far more personal nature than as required for so Hestor's nephew had been one of the officers deployed at the corporation The young man respected him and had followed in his footsteps, and he himself was very much fond of his nephew

His nepheould have one day picked up his torch to becooneat the 4th research center Hestor still hadn't lost hope, but if his nephew had been caught in the hands of that terribly cruel Whitehare, then his fate was sealed

Hestor angrily huffed as he finished his outburst Right at that lared

”What?!”

”Sir! …uovernment have arrived What is your order?”

”…theeneral Hestor didn't bother hiding his displeasure at the report

Upon her destruction of the medical facility, Whitehare had called herself a Deht it noher resolve for vengeance But one of the high-level govern it had said that they knew soenerously sent them over as backup

Several minutes later, three men arrived at Hestor's office froht them here
