Infinite System Inheritor Return From The Abyss

Inside the top floor of the Awakeners Association building, The top 10 rankers of the country were gathered in a sleek, modern conference room. Despite the polished decor, there was a clear sense of unease.

Alexa sat in her chair, arms crossed tightly over her chest, her expression a perfect mix of annoyance and boredom. Known for her sharp tongue and bitchy attitude, she made no effort to hide her displeasure. Her foot tapped impatiently against the floor, a clear sign that she would rather be anywhere but here.

Across the room, Seo-ha noticed Alexa's irritation and couldn't resist poking the bear. "What's with the mood, Alexa?" Seo-ha asked, a mischievous grin spreading across her face.

Alexa rolled her eyes dramatically, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "What do you think, Seo-ha? I've got better things to do than sit here and listen to whatever nonsense they're about to spew at us."

Seo-ha chuckled, leaning back in her chair, looking as relaxed as ever. "hey, at least it's not boring with you sulking in the corner."

Alexa shot her a glare. "I'm not sulking. I'm just not in the mood for your crap today, Seo-ha. So do us all a favor and keep your comments to yourself."

Seo-ha smirked, clearly enjoying riling Alexa up. "Aww, don't be like that, We're all just here trying to survive this meeting. Might as well make it a little more interesting, don't you think?"

"Interesting?" Alexa scoffed. "I'd find it a lot more interesting if you shut up and stayed away from me."

Seo-ha leaned in closer, her grin widening. "You know you'd miss me if I did."

Before Alexa could retort, the door at the far end of the room swung open, signaling the start of the meeting. With a final, exasperated eye-roll, Alexa turned her attention to the front, though her irritation was still evident in the way she sat stiffly in her chair.

Seo-ha, on the other hand, leaned back again, looking as if she was ready to find amusement in whatever came next.

The conference room doors opened again, and a figure entered with an undeniable air of confidence and self-assuredness. It was Oh Tae-hyun, the top ranker of Korea, renowned as "Zeus's Chosen One." His appearance was striking, from his meticulously styled Yellow hair to his impeccably tailored suit.

He radiated an aura of both authority and vanity, a reflection of his divine endorsement by the SS-rank god, Zeus.

Tae-hyun took the main seat at the head of the table, admiring himself in a compact mirror before tucking it away with a satisfied smile. The other rankers watched him with varying degrees of curiosity and bemusement as his assistant stepped forward to commence the introductions.

"Ladies and gentlemen," the assistant began, "I will now introduce our esteemed guests in top ranking order."

The assistant continued, "First, we have Oh Tae-hyun, known as Zeus's Chosen One. The top ranker, holding rank S, and is the Guildmaster of the Olympian Reign Guild."

Tae-hyun waved casually, clearly pleased with the announcement.

"Next is Kang Dae-won, the Titan of Wrath. A returnee, rank S, and the Guildmaster of the Eternal Return Guild"

He sits with a commanding presence. As he sits, he leans forward slightly, resting his forearms on his thighs, exuding a sense of readiness and intensity.

"Following him is Choi Ji-eun, the Lotus Queen. She holds rank A and is the Guildmaster of the Black Lotus Guild."

She maintains an air of regal elegance. Her long, flowing Violet hair is styled neatly, with a few strands framing her delicate face. Dressed in a refined outfit that blends traditional and modern elements, She sits upright, her hands resting gracefully on her lap. Her eyes, calm and observing, reflect her high rank and poised nature.

"Then we have Min Yoon-ji, known as the Twilight Sorceress holds rank A, and is a member of the Black Lotus Guild."

Her silver hair, which falls in waves around her shoulders, contrasts sharply with her violet eyes that hold a mysterious allure. Yoon-ji's attire, a mix of dark, mystical robes and intricate jewelry, enhances her enigmatic presence. As she sits, she leans back slightly, her fingers gently tracing patterns on the armrest of her chair, her gaze distant and contemplative.

"Jang Seo-ha, the Mad Queen.She holds rank A, has no guild affiliation"

Seo-ha, reclining with her feet on the table, grinned widely. "That's me! Hehee," she said, clearly enjoying the attention.

She represents a striking figure with her wild, short hair and piercing red eyes. Her attire, a mix of armor and casual wear, reflects her fierce and unpredictable nature.

"Lee Min-joon, known as the Phantom King. He holds rank A and is the Guildmaster of the Phantom Requiem." Lee Min-joon, with his enigmatic presence with a black blindfold silk in his eyes, gave a subtle nod.

The assistant then mentioned that three other top ten rankers were absent from this meeting, so their introductions would be skipped for now.

Finally, the assistant introduced Alexa. "And here we have Alexa Ford the top 10, also known as the Dual Blade Vixen. A rank and a member of the Vortex Guild."

Alexa, sitting with an unimpressed expression, barely acknowledged the introduction.

The assistant finished the introductions and cleared his throat. "Now that everyone has been introduced, the meeting will begin. I ask for everyone's cooperation as we discuss the important matters ahead."

He then stepped back to his spot in the corner of the room, leaving the floor to Oh Tae-hyun.

Tae-hyun leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table and placing his chin on his clasped hands. He looked around the room, making sure he had everyone's attention before speaking.

Alexa, already annoyed, thought to herself, 'What is this meeting about now?' She watched Tae-hyun, unimpressed by his confident demeanor, which only added to her irritation.

Finally, Tae-hyun broke the silence. "We're here to talk about the incoming wave," he said, his voice calm but serious.

Kang Dae-won, who had been sitting quietly until now, suddenly leaned forward, his eyes lighting up with excitement. "Oh Great! When?!" he asked, his voice full of energy.

Choi Ji-eun felt a surge of annoyance at his reaction but kept her expression calm. She couldn't understand how he could be so eager about something so dangerous.

"Guildmaster Dae-won," Choi Ji-eun spoke up, her voice steady but with a hint of disapproval, "this wave will kill many people. It's not something to get excited about."

Dae-won's enthusiasm dimmed slightly, realizing that not everyone shared his eagerness for the challenge ahead. Tae-hyun, still smiling, continued, "Our intelligence tells us the wave will hit in the next Month or 2. We need to be prepared—every guild, every ranker. If we fail, the consequences will be severe."

The room grew quiet as the seriousness of the situation set in. Even Seo-ha, who usually seemed carefree, recognized that this was no time for jokes.
