This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist

Chapter 315 High Tower · Traitorous Owl

[Team Channel]

Spicy Onion: What's going on?

Sinsoo: Not sure.

Spicy Onion: Oh, the Moon Fox came for a sneak attack.

Sinsoo: It's chaos, I'm pulling out. Meet at the cliff.

Spicy Onion: I'm pulling out too.

After the three traitorous owls regrouped, Rita asked, "What's the plan?"

Sanchez toyed with the dagger in her hand. "I'll stay here, assassinate some owls to level up."

Shadow.Q had a more important task. "I plan to go out and gather intel, find out how the owls managed to merge with Lania Kaia."

Compared to Forest Sea, the situation on Blue Star was more dangerous. The population wasn't as high as Forest Sea's owls, and the Blue Star people were more technology-based, lacking the special wing abilities of the owls. Additionally, there were many dungeon screens sunken under the sea.

After they finished speaking, both Sanchez and Shadow.Q turned to Rita. "What about you?"

Rita said, "I plan to take assassination missions and earn some skill books."

Though it was an accident, she saw this as a good opportunity to experiment... What would happen if, instead of following the owls' history within the tower, she became a traitorous owl? Would she face mental punishment when the cycle repeated?

Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire

The three of them exchanged looks and realized their goals didn't conflict, in fact...

Shadow.Q grinned. "Shall we cause some chaos together?"

Nivalis: "I'm really afraid that next time I'll come back and hear her calling you 'baby'."

Nivalis: "Explain this!"

Nivalis: "What step are we on now? Can this little dragon that no one cares about still join this warm family?"

Rita: "...." Should I even listen to what you're saying?

Nivalis jumped up, snatched Rita's rice ball, and flew off to devour Shadow.Q's grilled meat instead.

After hearing the trio's plan, Nivalis commented, "You need a strong name. Something that will let the Twelve Holy Races know that you're the neutral faction handling all the business."

Shadow.Q, impressed, agreed with Nivalis. "Do you have any good suggestions?"

Nivalis: "How about 'Only for Money'?"

The three of them went silent, but after exchanging glances, they realized that this simple, straightforward name was actually the best. After all, they weren't trying to create a century-old legacy, just a name to use for this cycle. It didn't need to be grand; just blunt and clear.

So, the three of them and one dragon sat by the fire, naming their new organization.

Seven years later.

Rita flew swiftly through the dense jungle, dodging branches and leaves as she moved. She veered slightly to the side to avoid a vine that had been disturbed and was now swinging toward her. She shouted to the person behind her, "Why did you kill them?!"

They had been assigned to eliminate a few rising owl rookies, and their ambush had gone smoothly.

The targets were eliminated, the mission was complete, and they could have left. But Sanchez insisted on sticking around to kill a few more nearby owls before leaving, nearly causing them to be cornered by high-level owl commanders.

Sanchez was not happy. "They called you the disgrace and failure of the Song family, said you weren't even worthy of the Pinebloom name, and cursed you to lose your wings. Aren't you mad about that?!"

Great. Another rant.
