Episode 268
Baduk.
X ground his teeth properly.
Burr.
Two hands trembling spontaneously.
“Really, even after all this hard work, you just can’t reach the ultimate level or something. I’m just going to file a complaint with the Consumer Protection Agency and the broadcasting station. Even after all this, I am the person with connections to the broadcasting station.”
Wait a minute, what was the author’s name?
‘That’s right, Seo Yu-jeong.’
X, barely remembering his non-existent real-life connections, took a deep breath.
I looked at the wooden sword that fell on the floor. As my sense of time became blurred, my mind went back and forth from time to time.
“…First, cool down your insides with cold water.”
gulp.
However, when something goes into my mouth, I come back to my senses. So this situation is even more absurd.
“There is no Hell difficulty like this.”
Time goes hundreds of times slower!
Currently, X is working hundreds of times harder than others. There was literally no actual compressed training that consumed enormous mental power.
Doridori.
X checked the access time.
[Time remaining until forced logout: 6 hours and 32 minutes]
“…This is all that has passed in reality, right?”
In my experience, it felt like I had been swinging a wooden sword for several months. In fact, the inventory that was full of food became thin.
Indeed, there was nothing impossible in Fate, which manipulates brain waves. X grumbled bluntly.
“Please, let’s finish before logging out.”
I can’t go through this trouble again!
X, overcome by evil, raised his wooden sword. In fact, the hard training was not without results.
‘I feel like I’m starting to feel it.’
Although it was only for a moment, sometimes I felt as if I had become one with the wooden sword.
Tiroling!
[Your will becomes clearer!]
[Your will becomes clearer!]
[Your will becomes clearer!]
There was also a notification that kept coming up. X gritted his teeth and muttered.
“Has your will become clearer? “Of course it has to be that way.”
Even though I went through this hard time, I could never give up.
A completely different existence and even enormous heavenly rewards. I will get my hands on every single one of them!
Swish!
The wooden sword filled with will split the air.
[Saturation is below 10%.]
When the notification sounds, stop training and fill your stomach. Now it was X that was moving like some kind of machine.
Munching.
X stuffed the bun into his mouth and chewed it, as if he had only eaten fried dumplings for decades. Meanwhile, the words of the Gourmet King passed through my mind.
“Tsk tsk, I definitely told you not to eat only delicious food, right?”
At that time, I thought he was talking nonsense. Because X had heavenly taste.
A heavenly taste that makes even the world’s most deadly poison taste like a spicy sauce. However, thanks to this hellish training, X was able to understand the Gourmet King’s words to some extent.
“…How come this is starting to bite me too?”
Because I kept eating the same thing, it felt less delicious.
Although I have a heavenly sense of taste that makes me feel like everything is exquisite, it is true that when I eat the same food, I am less impressed.
As proof, when eating the same food, the stats did not increase.
My nerves have already become very sensitive.
X did not let this discovery go easily.
‘If you think about it, you’ve been trying to make it taste different every time, right?’
To raise your stats!
X tried all sorts of tricks to create different flavors.
To a large extent, there was the skill of spices, and to a lesser extent, there was the skill of mixing and making rice cakes.
As a result, I accumulated stitches that I wouldn’t dare surpass even if I took thousands of levels.
If you’re going to eat food anyway, you can raise your stats! X did not overlook this whenever he consumed food.
But after I started training in Hell, I couldn’t afford to worry about eating or my stats.
“Because I had to swing the wooden sword at least once more.”
Because even at this moment, other beings are growing bigger.
Thanks to this, I naturally ended up eating overlapping foods and ingredients. Out of nowhere, I realized what the King of Gourmet had said.
Wow!
X took a bite of the apple with a more refreshed look.
“I know what tasteless taste is.”
Same food?
I’ll take this opportunity to eat until I get sick of it! Consume valuable ingredients in a way that doesn’t even give you any stats.
This is something that a normal X would never be able to do. But now X was out of his mind.
A water lily who is literally crazy about water lily! X, who finished the apple in an instant, stood up.
“Okay, let’s start with one million and twenty-one!”
*
A huge hologram of Fate World.
On the other hand, the image of X swinging a wooden sword in the air appeared. A gentle smile spread across the face of Schubert, a middle-aged man with gray hair.
He opened his mouth.
“In the end, you forced yourself to come up with a solution.”
Even if you are a descendant of heavenly gourmets, this is surprising.
Schubert recognized X’s extraordinaryness long ago. Nevertheless, the way X is playing now is beyond his imagination.
A voice suddenly heard, supported by evil.
-…I’m just going to file a complaint with the Consumer Protection Agency and the broadcasting station. After all, I am the one with connections to the broadcasting station.
Schubert burst into laughter.
“Haha, please just bear with it. “I won’t know later, but I can’t do it now.”
Grumble, grumble.
As X, who complained, returned to training, Schubert also shifted his gaze. He erased his smile and zoomed in on the hologram to the Arba continent.
sparkle!
Blue arrows shining all over the continent. A sign of great influence in the area.
Schubert placed his hand on an arrow. Then a familiar face appeared.
“I never thought you would join hands with this side. “This was an easily unexpected development.”
The main character of the face is Songwol.
It seemed like they had given up on the siege and were focused on the dungeon break.
In addition, they were showing friendly behavior toward other players who were not their guild members. The butterfly effect that resulted was no joke.
Schubert scratched his head sheepishly.
“I never thought Fate World’s influence would be brought out in this way. “Maybe you’re better at management than me?”
Fate World activated faster than expected. Schubert, who was quietly looking at the hologram, thought.
In the huge hologram, I began to see the ending of Fate that I had been giving up on.
“…It really might not be too late.”
But for that to happen, conditions were needed. Schubert’s eyes narrowed.
“Are you planning on falling apart like this?”
Where his sharp gaze was directed. There was Arba, the capital of the Arba Kingdom.
*
Arba Royal Palace.
There was nothing left for Caimus, who was sitting on the throne. Subjects who have been completely contaminated by the influence of other beings. Likewise, there are only contaminated soldiers guarding the palace.
Moreover, there were no people to support him who occupied the throne of Arba.
“…Ghost city Arba.”
That was the reality of Arba, the capital of the kingdom.
To the city wall street buildings.
Tentacles sprouting up from all over Arba.
There was no way for the people who had clearly seen what happened to remain in Arba.
When the siege ended, they left everything and left Arba to live.
Kaimus suddenly gritted his teeth.
“If it were an NPC, it would just stay in its seat like an NPC.”
I didn’t like the idea of mere pieces of data imitating people.
No, actually, I was annoyed that I had missed out on so many of Arba’s people.
Kuuk.
Strength naturally enters the fist.
“…If only these bastards hadn’t run away.”
He would have been able to gain the ability to surpass X through human sacrifice. Soon, Kaimus’ inferiority complex turned towards the white mask.
Even if you give him the Demon King’s abilities, it doesn’t change the fact that White Mask is an NPC.
‘Damn, I wish I had leadership.’
They would have wiped out the Arba continent right away without thinking about it. He would never have acted passively like the white mask.
Even if I handed over information to White Mask, he ultimately could not overcome the limits of being an NPC.
‘You idiot.’
Kaimus disliked everything about the white mask. Kaimus’ eyes suddenly opened.
‘…I can’t just sit there like this.’
They said that you can’t just look at a white mask and trust it. Kaimus made up his mind.
Your own way to live is something you find. Now that everything we had built so far had collapsed, it was the perfect time to move without worrying about restrictions.
‘The start is to increase absolute power.’
I realized this during the battle with X.
I don’t know what tricks were used, but X had grown to a level that could not be surpassed.
So, catching up with X was impossible through a one-sided method. Moreover, in the current situation where there is no sacrifice to offer…
Kaimus smiled coldly.
“So, you should use it again.”
Loyal subjects were needed to assist the Demon King.
People who were willing to sacrifice their bodies when necessary were needed.
The time had come to reunite with the innocent assholes.
*
Narville.
War Machine’s guild hideout.
The place where so many executives gathered was lively for the first time in a while. It was because of a whisper that reached them.
“No, even if everyone in the world criticizes and points fingers, shouldn’t they accept it as much as we do? There is something that Captain Kaimus did…”
“That’s right. I don’t know the details, but I think Kaimus must have been going through a lot of emotional distress of his own. “They must have had a hard time contacting us.”
Kaimus’ whisper was sent to all executives of War Machine. The content of the whisper was quite long, but the point was simple.
Someone read the last sentence of the whisper out loud.
“I want to go back to the way it was before…”
“…Me too.”
“I’ll be honest. I want to return to the top spot again! “A time when no one dared look down on War Machine’s name.”
The status of the fallen war machine.
The power that once competed with the world for supremacy was no longer found. After the victorious Resorcerer ascended to the position of leader, the defeated Dazel left War Machine.
It was then that bad rumors began to spread about War Machine. bang! The man hit the desk.
“Fuck. “We are tired of being criticized for things we don’t even know about.”
Dazel exposed the shadow of War Machine to the world.
Of course, most of it was corruption committed by Kaimus and Dazel. But Dazel cleverly avoided the truth.
They did not stop playing with the media, making War Machine as a whole rather than an individual the issue.
The man who was grinning continued.
“So, if we’re going to get criticized anyway, let’s do whatever we can and eat it. yes? Now, join hands with Kaimus and either get scolded or just eat it. Because they’re all the same.”
Let’s embrace Kaimus.
He is no longer needed.
Opinion was split exactly in half. It was worth noting the influence Kaimus had in War Machine.
Leader Resorcerer remained silent with an expressionless face. My heart didn’t move at all from the beginning.
‘I can’t hand over War Machine to Kaimus.’
I couldn’t repeat my mistake.
Because I promised myself that I would definitely maintain my position as leader until I come back.
Even if the executives left War Machine, the Resorcerer’s will would not change.
Squeak!
“?”
It was then that the door to the hideout opened.
A frowning face.
The corner of the mouth with a genuine smile.
An angry voice burst out.
“Where are you?”
“Why are you so sad? “It’s been so long since I left the group, but you haven’t already forgotten my face, right?”
Dazel spoke to those who were dumbfounded.
“So, are you all ready to go to Arba? The traitor Caimus threw a rice cake at me, so I can’t just sit still like this, right? “I have a debt to repay… I need to ask the right question and use it properly, right?”
The enemy of trash.
It was the appearance of trash.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
