It only took a week for the world to change.
Deokchun Island was the first large-scale project of Paji-jik, and it was a kind of ten-day preview.
Just ten days.
A short period of less than two weeks, but it was widely agreed that a proper conclusion was necessary to keep the viewers entertained, and that conclusion had to be a highlight.
However, Deokchun Island was an attractive server due to its high level of freedom and diverse RP. If the streamers didn’t come together, there was a high possibility that it would just fizzle out.
Some streamers were still enjoying comedic RP.
Some were still running their businesses.
Some were still wandering around, unable to find their place.
Until Kiana Reeves unified all the gangs in just a week.
“From now on, the streets of Deokchun Island will only be yellow.”
It started as a small spark.
The gangs loitering on the streets began to gather one by one.
The small crews that were originally scattered spent their time making money in their own territories or engaging in minor conflicts.
However, the moment the name “Kiana Reeves” reached them, everything changed.
“We unite as one.”
The moment those words were spoken, Deokchun Island was no longer just an RP server—it became a living, breathing world.
The first place where change began was the private vehicle market.
Until then, streamers on Deokchun Island would either buy cars directly or steal them.
Owning a car meant free movement, and it was a much safer mode of transportation than walking.
However, those cars began to disappear.
You left your car in the parking lot?
By morning, it was gone without a trace.
You kept it in a garage?
The gang controlling the parking lots demanded money.
“This parking lot is now our territory.”
They threatened to destroy the cars unless the owners paid tens of thousands of dollars in parking fees.
Even if someone managed to escape, cars driving on the streets became targets for grenades or rocket launchers.
“Only taxis are safe.”
Only one option remained.
The only means of transportation left.
Taxis.
The streets of Deokchun Island were now completely yellow.
Taxis lined the roads, and inside them, streamers reluctantly paid fares to move around.
[Why are taxi fares so expensive?]
“Ah, sir, prices have gone up recently~.”
[This is extortion!]
“Sir, this isn’t extortion—we’re simply giving you a ride. The choice is yours. You can walk if you’d like?”
But no one could walk.
If they did, the “Union” gang patrolled the streets.
And if it wasn’t a taxi operated by the Union gang? Boom!
They weren’t just any gang. They followed the orders of Kiana Reeves, controlling the entire transportation system of Deokchun Island.
People who didn’t take a taxi got shot.
People who didn’t use the taxis got robbed.
The only safe places left on Deokchun Island were the police station and inside a taxi.
[Wait, what do you mean by that?]
Aha-ha-ha.
Kiana laughed—bright, innocent, and elegant.
As if she had just heard the funniest joke.
And then she said—
“The only safe place is inside a taxi?”
Kiana Reeves.
Declaration of war against the police.
Deokchun Island, Day 10.
The once peaceful police station was now in total chaos.
The air in the police headquarters was heavy.
Urgent radio transmissions crackled from all directions.
The clatter of keyboards and frantic phone conversations filled the space.
But no one believed this situation would be easily resolved.
The city was collapsing.
Just a few days ago, the police had faith in the rules of GTA RP.
“As long as the police exist, crime will be kept in check.”
“As long as people believe the police are strong, the streamers will follow the rules.”
But now, that belief had shattered.
[Emergency alert—Explosion in front of City Hall!]
[Emergency alert—Financial district roads blocked!]
[Emergency alert—Multiple police vehicles destroyed!]
“This is all the Union gang’s doing?”
– This is insane, LOL.
– The entire server’s vibe changed in just a week…
– Feels like a movie, haha.
Jung Doyeong pushed himself up from his desk.
Reports were already piled up.
These were incidents that had happened since the gangs united.
A car bombing in front of City Hall.
Car theft and robbery in front of the bank.
Revenge-driven violence and indiscriminate shootings on the streets.
Deokchun Island could no longer maintain its former order.
Now, the only thing left was war.
[What’s the current situation?]
[Estimated enemy force: Over thirty. All seven executive members of the “Seven Blades” are involved…]
[Haha… That’s way too many…]
– Every gang in the server has merged…
– Doyeong-hyung, I think you’re in trouble this time.
– Looks like the final day will end with war…
Deokchun Island Police Department.
Officers moving in urgency, intelligence analysts running around.
The atmosphere was completely different from usual.
The gang’s voice-phishing squads rendered phone calls impossible by ordering massive amounts of “pizza deliveries.”
Citizens who had been swayed by gang ideology picked up weapons and started smashing police cars.
Eight out of the twenty-four officers had already died in action.
Respawn time was still ticking down.
In short, total chaos.
The entire city had become a battlefield.
On the desk, a report contained information on the newly unified Union gang.
“…Over ten FPS-specialist streamers. We’re at a definite disadvantage.”
Jung Doyeong let out a deep sigh.
Even if they were FPS pros, they were no match for him.
With eight officers, it would be easy to take them down one by one—defense always had the upper hand in war.
But the real problem was…
“What’s Kiana Reeves’ armament status?”
[She holds all of the gang’s cash reserves. Confirmed weapons so far include an SMG, sniper rifle, Desert Eagle, tactical knife…]
“This is insane.”
Kiana Reeves.
Yeah. Shirahana Yuki. She was the problem.
Even with just a knife, she could solo an entire squad.
Now, she had an arsenal of weapons in her hands.
Even for Doyeong, who usually handled things alone, this was too much.
“Everyone, move out.”
Killog Note, the Chief of Police, issued a firm order.
Now, the police had only one choice left.
Fight. And win.
Inside the dimly lit police station, the officers who were equipping themselves no longer showed any hesitation.
Some tightened their bulletproof vests, while others adjusted their radios, making their final preparations.
“There is no retreat now.”
“It ends here.”
Engines roared as police cars started up.
The massive doors opened, and a dozen police vehicles surged toward the city all at once.
“The yellow streets end today.”
Click.
Doyeong loaded his gun, feeling the cold metal in his hands.
It was a response to the ones who had declared war.
The city was already burning.
Smoke rose from various parts of the streets, shattered glass and broken streetlights scattered everywhere.
The police cars pushed forward into the city center.
Standing in their way were the Union gang members.
Dressed in black with yellow masks.
The moment the police approached, they raised their weapons.
The symbol of Union. The yellow mask.
Jung Doyeong instinctively frowned at the sight.
Through the crowd of at least thirty people, a man in a suit stepped forward.
[We’ve been expecting you.]
And then, another figure took a step forward.
Kiana Reeves.
She watched as the police cars came to a stop, a calm smile on her lips.
As if she had foreseen everything.
By her side stood the executives of the Seven Blades.
Behind them, dozens of armed gang members stood in formation.
[It’s been a while, Chief.]
Killog Note stepped out of the car.
A gun in his hand, unwavering determination in his eyes.
“This ends now.”
Kiana chuckled softly.
[Ends? Says who?]
“Who else? You criminals—”
[Is this how the police handle citizens? By pointing guns first?]
“Citizens? Ha. You’ve finally lost your—”
Kiana took a quiet step forward.
Behind her stood not only gang members and Union operatives, but also…
Ordinary citizens.
A man who once sold bread on Deokchun Island.
A woman who ran a fried chicken shop.
A taxi driver.
A miner, a fisherman, even a busking streamer.
They all stood on the border between the police and Union.
Killog Note gritted his teeth instinctively.
What the hell is this situation?
The police were supposed to deal with criminals, with armed gangsters.
But now, in front of him, stood ordinary people without weapons.
“What kind of trick is this?”
His grip on his gun tightened unconsciously.
[Ah, Chief.]
Kiana slowly walked toward him, speaking as she did.
[We are just ‘unlucky’ citizens.]
Her voice was low, but it carried as if amplified through a speaker, reaching everyone’s ears.
Her signature lazy, serene tone made her sound like an innocent girl whispering a secret.
[We came to Deokchun Island just to live normal lives, but we were terribly unlucky.]
As she raised her hand, the citizens nodded in agreement.
[I tried to run a fried chicken shop. But someone walked in with a gun and stole my money.]
[I worked as a miner. Then the gangs came and demanded ‘taxes.’]
[I drove a taxi. But the police labeled me a criminal and confiscated my car.]
Kiana narrowed her eyes.
[Why did this happen?]
She gazed at each police officer one by one.
As if demanding an answer.
But no one spoke.
Kiana smirked and took another step forward.
[In this place, being good meant nothing. Laws only applied to the weak, while the strong received exceptions. The millions of dollars Deokchun held—we never even had a chance to touch it.]
She curled her fingers, gesturing toward the surrounding citizens.
[That’s why we never trusted the police. Instead, we chose to protect ourselves.]
Her gaze turned cold.
[Officers, we were never criminals from the start. We only made choices to survive.]
[And today, we make another choice. We make a declaration.]
She raised her hand.
[From now on, we will live purely for ourselves.]
At that moment, the citizens simultaneously drew weapons.
The fried chicken shop owner wielded a homemade shotgun.
The fisherman held a rifle with a modified stock.
The miner gripped a massive pickaxe.
They advanced slowly toward the police.
Killog Note clenched his teeth.
This was an all-out war.
Not just between the police and Union.
Now, the citizens of Deokchun Island had joined the fight.
“Kiana Reeves.”
Killog Note’s voice was cold.
“You are an existence that should not be allowed to live.”
Kiana smiled as she replied.
[Union?]
Gunfire erupted.
And so, the first and last great war of Deokchun Island’s server began.
