Chapter 52. Orc Khan, Part II
 
Translator: Khan

3. 
A Gamecock with ferocious eyes under a blazing comb never runs away with its enemies in front of it. The fact does not change even if it is faced with a strong enemy.
 
It was the same now. The blood-stained Gamecock, flesh torn all over, was still facing the enemy, its eyes burning. Furthermore, it never uttered the sound of death or a cry of pain because it was close to death.
 
As its feathers and flesh were torn apart, the Gamecock, soaked in its own blood, gave a cry of tearing up the sky. With the sound, it spewed out the last of its power.
 
The blazing comb of the Gamecock rose up. Anger Soaring, the formidable power of the Gamecock, was activated.
 
A huge explosion burst out around the body of the Gamecock with a clap of thunder. The explosion of power seemed to send everything near the Gamecock to the far end of the horizon.
 
But in front of the explosion, it didn't fly away. Far from flying, it broke through the overwhelming explosion with a single leap and climbed onto the body of the Gamecock in one fell swoop.
 
Then it began to tear away the flesh of the Gamecock, its sturdy feathers, its tough hide, and its hard flesh, with its big hands.
 
As if to dig out the soil, it dug out the flesh of the Gamecock, and then, as soon as the heart was revealed, the giant Orc with purple eyes put its fist into the heart and pulled out the heart of the Gamecock.
 
Blood spurted out, the explosion died down, and the Gamecock that had been burning its fighting spirit collapsed.
 
It was a disaster. The end of the scene, which was inevitably called for, was a shout of triumph from the monster who had just destroyed the Gamecock. 
 
The Orc Khan had arrived in Europe.

Jang Sung-hoon, Maria, and Kim Tae-hoon sat around a crude table where they could see the chimneys of the Sistine Chapel. There were mugs in front of them with coffee, blooming in the morning. Its aroma was quite good. Even the Italians, who were some of the most finicky coffee drinkers in the world, could admire it.
 
But the coffee in front of Maria had not been touched. Instead of sipping her coffee, she looked nervously at the chimney of Sistine Cathedral and then at Kim Tae-hoon, who was enjoying his coffee. Finally, she looked at Jang.
 
Jang Sung-hoon, who had just wet his lips with a sip, put his mug down and asked, "Do you have anything you want to say?"
 
"Why are you so calm?" Maria spoke, but could not hide her anxiety. She had accumulated a lot of experience and ability on the battlefield so that she did not lack the experience. In other words, the reality she faced now meant that she was serious enough to disturb her.
 
"Now that ridiculous monster is coming to Europe, can we stay like this?" The Orc Khan, the Emperor of all the Orcs was leading the Orc army to Europe.
 
"They're approaching the Caspian Sea, and detouring around it."
 
If it bypassed the Caspian Sea, then what was next? It would be the Black Sea!
 
"And then, if they cross Ukraine or Turkey, there's no way to stop them."
 
As soon as they passed the Black Sea, Europe must wage a bloody war with the Orc army: a war without a winner.
 
"We'll have to deal with it before then."
 
Maria thought there was only one way to stop it after she knew the existence of Orc Khan. Before the Orc Khan and the Orcs crossed the Black Sea, the only solution was to detonate nuclear weapons in Ukraine or Turkey in the Black Sea and crush them. In fact, Maria and Russia tried to do so.
 
However, Kim Tae-hoon did not give an OK sign for the operation. That was the problem.
 
"It's not time to do this. At once, nuclear weapons..."
 
If they really wanted to stop the Orc army and the Orc Khan in Ukraine or Turkey, they had to step up now. Even now, they could not do such a thing like regular soldiers. That was because as Orc Khan headed for Europe, the monsters in Turkey and Ukraine were going crazy as well.
 
In this situation, Kim Tae-hoon was the only one who could install nuclear weapons. It was natural that Maria's heart would burn.
 
"Hey, if we use nuclear weapons every time we have a problem, will the humans in this world remain? Nuclear weapons are a self-destructing weapon. We'll only use them right before the end of mankind."
 
"That's the only way we can stop it now!"
 
"Who said that? Did the boss say that?"
 
"It's..." At Jang's objection, Maria looked at Kim. Instead of answering her eyes, Kim only savored coffee. Finally, Maria looked at Jang again.
 
"So there's another way to kill the monster?"
 
"I don't want to tell you about it here because it's a secret! You and I know each other, and if you could arrange a meeting with a woman for me, I'd really like it…"
 
"It's rising." Kim Tae-hoon's voice crossed the line between Maria and Jang Sung-hoon.
 
The two, who were facing one another, turned their heads and looked at the chimney of the Sistine Chapel. They could see white smoke streaming up through the chimney.

"That's all we can give." Along with the words, the Cardinals began to put the papers in their hands slowly and in order on the table. It was a subscription, a Mac Guild subscription.
 
"After a long discussion, we have come to the conclusion that there is nothing else we can give you. And again, after a long discussion, we unanimously agreed to give this to you."
 
The Cardinals accepted the fact that they no longer had any materials to pay Kim. And now they realized that all they could give was mental things. The result was this just now.
 
"Please accept it."
 
It was what Kim Tae-hoon and Jang Sung-hoon wanted. Apparently, in exchange for the Great Giant, Kim Tae-hoon took possession of everything the Vatican had. He also wrote a contract. But how effective would the contract be?
 
It was not very reliable a contract in the first place, and there was nothing as useless as a contract at this time.
 
Furthermore, their opponent was not just a group, it was the Vatican. It was a group that had shown faith and commitment to one being for more than twenty centuries. Putting them under with only material difficulties had never been done by anyone in human history, and attempts to subdue them in that way had always created greater chaos.
 
Kim Tae-hoon was no different. He would not make the Vatican give in from the bottom of their heart just with force and violence. All he had to do was make the Vatican defeat itself.
 
It was the only way to make the Vatican a comrade, not an enemy, and to admit that mankind was facing a disaster that had never been encountered before, and that the Vatican must follow Kim Tae-hoon to survive the disaster.
 
"I checked my subscription." So, the Mac Guild accepted the Cardinal's choice. "By this time, the Cardinals have become members of the Mac Guild, and I now ask for active cooperation and service for the Mac Guild."
 
After Jang Sung-hoon received the subscription from the Cardinals, he began to organize it. "In addition, the Mac Guild will do our best to protect its members."
 
Jang Sung-hoon, who had arranged the subscription forms, finished the words and looked at Kim Tae-hoon.
 
Everyone looked at Kim Tae-hoon.
 
Kim Tae-hoon spoke in front of their eyes. "We'll finish it in the Black Sea, prepare the battleship."
 
Kim Tae-hoon moved to protect the Mac Guild.

The Black Sea…
Until December 30, 2016, it was the tensest sea in the world. While countless countries claimed the Black Sea as theirs, the occupation of the Crimean Peninsula by Russia, which began in 2014, made the Black Sea a chessboard of world powers, not just Eastern Europe.
 
It was funny that the monsters ended the tension. For a while, the screams of humans filled the Black Sea that had become the monsters' hunting ground, but it was literally only for a while.
 
In Turkey, where humans had disappeared and the Black Sea was to the north, peace, and abundance, which could not be compared with the past, had begun to take its place.
 
It was the Orc Horde that broke the peace, the abundance, and the stillness.
 
They were overwhelming from the beginning. As the hundred thousand Orcs marched on the ground without rest, the ground shook like an earthquake and screamed. The sound alone scared the powerful monsters and made them run away.
 
On the other hand, those who could not escape had to face the most terrible death in the world. The hungry Orc Horde ate anything that was alive. There was no hunting in the process. There was no battle. There was just a process of eating it if there was something alive. No matter how huge the monsters were, only bones were left when the Orc Horde ran.
 
But it was the presence of a Giant Orc moving at the rear of the horde that produced more overwhelming results than the 100,000 Orc Horde produced.
 
It was about four meters tall. It was obviously rather big. Of course, it was not so big compared to the monsters that were called huge.
 
But the muscles that filled its body were definitely different. The muscles seemed to be twisted with steel, and they were so intense that just moving its body lightly made the viewers gasp. The figure with the green skin reminded them of the Hulk from Marvel Comics. The difference from the Hulk was that four sharp fangs were protruding up and down from the muzzle of this monster, and that its eyes were shining purple.

That was the only difference. The destructive power that it could show was not lacking compared to what the character Hulk showed in the comics.
 
Kr!
 
There was no difference between the ferocity of the Hulk and the ferocity of this monster. It was impossible to face even at long distance, not just right before it.
 
"It's not a joke." The soldiers, who were watching the Orc Khan from a distance with a telescope, felt the fact.
 
"We could not imagine that it was this bad."
 
They were Russian soldiers, all fluttering. They were not just soldiers, but those who qualified to fight monsters, with patterns on the back of their right hands.
 
"We've got more than the B-rank in our Energy, but we can't get any closer."
 
Furthermore, they were not merely Awakeners, but also elites. Everyone had a combined strength and stamina of more than 500, and a higher Energy rank than B. They were those who had the qualifications and abilities to not be disturbed in front of powerful monsters.
 
"We wouldn't have been able to get this close without this Cross."
 
But the presence of the Orc Khan affected them, too, before the could even see the Orc Khan without a telescope. It had them pissing themselves at that distance, and that wasn't a metaphor.
 
"It's a good thing I wore diapers as ordered." Those here were actually pissing, even wearing adult diapers to prepare for it. Even that was a relief.
 
"It doesn't have a monster to attack, so we are just pissing. Let's thank it for that."
 
Those who were monitoring the Orc Khan and the Orc army ahead of them died while watching the Orc Khan fight with the Gamecock. The reason for their death was simple. As soon as the Orc Khan bellowed towards the Gamecock standing in its way, most of those who were watching the Orc Khan died of a heart attack. Diapers were merely lessons left for the survivors.
 
"This appears a monster that doesn't make sense. I don't understand why such a monster has been silent in Mongolia all this time"
 
In addition, there was one more lesson left by those who had died before; this monster did not condone any enemy.
 
"It's crazy to be able to live by killing a monster like this."
 
Fortunately, there was one person in the world who would be free from the lessons. The man was on the side of the soldiers who were here now.
 
"... he is here."
 
At that moment a soldier raised his head and looked up at the sky. The rest of the soldiers followed. A plane flew rapidly over the sky toward the Orc Horde. The most noticeable thing they could see from its low flight was the Russian flag decorating the plane. But it was not the flag that came into the eyes of the soldiers, but a new Mac on the tail of the plane. The soldiers who confirmed the new Mac immediately crossed themselves or gathered their hands. There were different ways, but the prayers were the same.
 
"May the grace of God be with the Master." With that sign, everyone immediately bit the capsule in their mouth.
 
The bitter liquid that burst out of the capsules began to double the amount of the Energy in their guts after it descended their throats, and their eyes changed.
 
Bang! At the same time, shells fell off the low-flying airplane and began attacking the Orc Horde on the ground.
 
The Orc Khan bellowed out its warcry. The fear of death began to spread rapidly around the Orc Khan, and even reached the soldiers who were still very far away.
 
"Ugh!" "Ahhhh!" The soldiers began to scream with a look like Munch's scream.
 
Of course, the fear reached the plane passing over the head of the Orc horde. But the plane was not shaken at all by the fear. However, the plane turned its nose toward the Black Sea to the north and continued spitting out shells.
 
The fact changed Orc Khan's purple eyes. It stopped bellowing, and instead grabbed one of the Orcs nearby and threw it at the flying plane, an unconventional attack.
 
Whizz! What was more unusual was that the body of the thrown Orc passed by the plane more than two hundred meters above. The Orc Khan did not stop there.
 
Thump, thump, thump! It started running after the plane, and when it leaped up, his body was high enough to look closely at the plane. The impossible chase between the Orc Khan and the plane began.
 
"Oh, my God."
 
The soldiers' eyes, looking at the ridiculous sight, the wingless monster chasing the airplane flying by, were shaking nonstop. Everything was so shocking. Despite the situation, the soldiers did not forget two things: the fact that they were still alive, and the fact that they had a mission to complete as long as they were alive.
 
"Now, let's move."
 
It was the Land Rover Range Rover, called the Rolls Royce of the desert, that was waiting for the soldiers who turned their heads to complete their mission.
 
"We risk our lives now, and deliver the weapons to the Master."
 
The hunting began.

The world has changed and so have the people.

December 31st, 2016 – the day before New Year's. Kim Taehoon was just casually shopping for groceries at the large store. Monsters suddenly appeared out of thin air. With the highly trained skills that he had gained from his previous occupation, he starts to hunt the monsters down and manages to win, saving countless people who were also at the mall.

But there are more and they don't stop coming.
Will he be able to survive until the end? 
Will he be able to beat the countless monsters that only seem to get stronger?
And will it just be monsters that he has to worry about? 

The journey of Kim Taehoon, The First Hunter, begins.

Editor's views  - from Ekdud

The First Hunter is a short Korean, action-fantasy novel situated in a post-apocalyptic world. Monsters start appearing out of nowhere and people are unlocking strange powers. Those who unlock such powers are called ‘Hunters’, ones with the strength to kill the monsters. To fight and survive, that is their goal. Society crumbles and the world burns.

A very fun novel that dives into the plot almost instantly. The novel is interesting in a way that it depicts a lot of human nature and what people would do in a situation such as this is quite an accurate manner. The character development is also very good as you get to learn about the characters, their backgrounds, and their stories. All in all, this is another novel I’d recommend to a lot of readers who are interested in reading fantasy and gaming novels.

**A licensed novel from Munpia**

"Ah!!!"
Zhao Mo startled awake from his dreams once again…
Body drenched in sweat, he opened his eyes and forced himself to sit up on his bed.
The exquisite, pretty tree house in front of him was still there, instead of the white walls he was expecting. The windows outlined by vines weren't glass windows while the black tree on top of him had some young grass and flowers growing on it. He questioned the structural integrity of the place…
However, Zhao Mo could be sure that he hadn't returned home and his transmigration had become a fact.
He was sure that it wasn't a dream.
Because he had already woken up many times.
He had really transmigrated…
Zhao Mo slowly rose, a walking stick covered with intricate patterns in his right hand. He tried to stabilize himself using the walking stick. After all, he would still be badly injured if he ended up falling off the ten-meter high tree.
Besides, his body belonged to William Blackleaf, an underaged Elf who had yet to hone his battle energy and magic, so he was still a fledgling amongst the Elves.
However, it seems like it's not bad transmigrating to be an Elf. This face, figure and long legs seem to be as handsome as I looked in the past… Zhao Mo stared into the mirror, staring at his handsome face, pointy ears, and long legs. He couldn't help but marvel about his appearance.
However, Zhao Mo had put the past behind him. It had been more than half a day since he came into this world and he wasn't able to find any ways to return. Since he arrived in this new world, he believed that he should forget the past and begin a new life. He decided to strive for a chance to continue living in this stupid world on a positive note.
Besides, this was a world that possibly had a God. There would be a problem if he spoke carelessly!
Although he really missed his parents and wanted to accompany them until they passed away, he had read so many transmigrating novels and barely anyone in those novels were able to transmigrate back into their own world.
However, there was a silver lining in all of this.
He had two older brothers, who had long-established careers and families, so it wasn't a problem for them to take care of their parents.
However, he hoped that his parents wouldn't be too sad that he had died gaming. If it was possible, it would be best for them to grieve less for their unfilial son and continue living healthily.
"I am William. Yes, I am William Blackleaf!"
He walked out of the treehouse and stood on the balcony, enjoying the bright sunlight shining on him. He felt extremely warm there, as though he was filled with energy.
As William's eyes looked further and further, his thoughts became more and more crazed…
98.
98, the game only needed 98 yuan every month.
That's right, "Gods" was a fictitious game with a monthly subscription.
After generations of freemium games or paid games all of the virtual reality games now had monthly subscriptions.
Extremely popular games in the past like "Glory", "Zero", "Sanctuary", "A World About Swords", "Starcraft" and "Conviction" were the basis that lead to games with monthly subscriptions!
As for "Gods", this game started its beta in the year 2333.
Because the game wasn't developed by a famous company, there wasn't much marketing for it early on. That prevented the game from being very popular when it first started. After all, it wasn't easy to stand out amongst so many virtual reality games.
It only became really popular after three years and even reached a new record in gaming history with 68 million players online at the same time!
It couldn't be helped. With how much technology had developed, everyone had a lot of free time. However, there were many games as well…
Gods was a world with battle energy and magic.
In this place, one could be lucky enough to become a brave Dragon's Slayer, marry the Princess successfully, and reach the pinnacle in life.
However, at the same time, it was very normal for adventurers to be careless and get eaten by the dragon. The dragon would then take revenge and kill an entire city, eliminating a guild's base and killing tens of thousands of players. The NPC[1] would then take revenge angrily. All of this was commonplace.
However, this is a world with Gods…
Every player has the dream of becoming a God.
It was a pity that William wasn't able to become a God after playing the game for ten years in his previous life. He rarely saw any Gods either. It was not that he couldn't become one, but he had died before that happened.
He had died in the gaming pod.
Although there were a few other 'geniuses' in gaming history who would face sudden brain death while playing games, it wasn't enough to scare gamers as they continued to play instead of stopping.
They had to pay for their monthly subscription. How could they watch their money disappear in games like that?
Of course, even before William passed away, he hadn't seen any other players become Gods, not even fake Gods…
The key problem was because it was too hard.
No matter if they were professional gamers or top players from the top guilds, the maximum at that time was at the Legendary level. Even so, few people reached the Legendary stage and even among Legendaries, they had their differences too.
Of course, before he passed away, he had only barely touched the game's late game…
What was his level back then?
Of course, he was at the top of the entire world, a Legendary warrior who provided carrying services for other players.
As for his usual job, he helped people level up their characters.
His job wasn't limited to helping to beat Bosses[2]. When rich players were willing to throw money at the game, he would bring their characters for missions to gain experience, get pets, mounts, and much more.
He would even work as an assassin and help kill others as well.
He was a Legendary after all, so he was a lot stronger than normal players.
Being a Legendary brought a slew of problems too!
Not only did it require money, but it also required plenty of effort as well, bordering on craziness.
Besides, if he didn't have money, how would he be able to make equipment? How was he to socket gems? How would he be able to strengthen his weapons? If one didn't have money and didn't want to put in the effort, then it would be better to quit the game…
William had always suspected that there must have been many programmers that chose this company after the Wangyi company went bankrupt. If not, why would the equipment system be so annoying?
He had good skills, was able to see the potential of the game, and used many days and nights to get a strong advantage and lead on other players. All of this snowballed into him becoming a carry-for-hire to earn money before he slowly managed to become Legendary. For a poor person like him, if he hadn't been playing the game from the very first day, he would have long died from hunger in the gaming pod.
However, it's a pity that I still died! William Blackleaf rubbed his stomach, sitting down on the woven rocking chair helplessly. He took a sip from the fruit alcohol that cost 30 coins. It was fragrant and sweet and not choking at all.
It tasted really nice. At least, he didn't become a dog and he was a lot better than his peers.
However, I'm now reborn, so I have to continue working hard! He was thinking about how to use his identity to live on!
"William Blackleaf, one of the Elven lords by the borders of the Southern Blackleaf forest. His title is Border Lord. Hm, it seems like I'm half-Elven?" William had merely inherited some of his body's memories, so he didn't know how his body had fallen from the tree, how he had fallen so badly, and even died to let him have the fortunate chance to be reborn in a different world.
However, this was not the time to consider this. He should think of how to live a better life.
"That's not right. I can still remember interacting with him when I was still around level 20. He's a very strong Lord. Although his territory wasn't huge, he had great ambitions. I received several missions from there too.
"However, this person had died from a multi-party free-for-all battle six months from the start of the beta and his territory was taken over by the Iron Dukedom. It was quite tragic.
"His father is the previous Border Lord and he was able to survive in the cracks between the Blackleaf forest and the human dukedom. He even had the ability to play both sides.
"However, his son was lacking in comparison. After he inherited the territory, many peasants moved out of his territory and it was only later did he successfully expand the town.
"Even after he got into a lot of trouble, he didn't pledge his loyalty to the dukedom and didn't disappear fully into the Blackleaf forest either…
"Although I forgot what type of trouble it was, his actions later on were basically courting death." William sighed softly, as he started to recall what little memories he had.
His border territory wasn't huge. He had a lot of land to the West and East of the town, so he could use it properly.
There were 3000 people living in the small town—1500 half-Elven, 1000 humans, and 500 Elves.
Those 500 pure-blooded Elves…
Hm.
From his memories, it seemed as though they were the guards his mother gave him.
These guards were quite strong and very loyal. However, they were too proud and were often unhappy about his human bloodline.
Even if his mother was Elf Royalty, these five hundred pure-blooded Elves had planned to use their lifespan of a few thousand years to outlive William, the half-Elven, and return to the Blackleaf forest.
"Er… My mother is actually Elven Royalty?" William's mind was in a mess, finally regaining his senses from the sudden rush of memories.
Just as William was about to summon someone to help him up for the patrolling of the area, a voice rang by his ear.
A sound rang in his ear.
"Ding dong."
"Countdown to the 1.0 version of the open Beta: 364 Days, 23 Hours, 59 Minutes."
"…" The current border lord was William Blackleaf, the esteemed Elf with Royal blood!
He slowly fell into deep thought. Because, if he followed his assumptions, he would be on the awesome route of killing the giant dragon, marrying the Princess and becoming a God after he transmigrated into a different world.
But how did he become an NPC?
Why… Why do I have to face the undying players who are practically cheats? William was suddenly in a daze.
[1] NPC are non-player characters.
[2] Bosses are the ultimate enemies in a game's stage.


This thought had grown deep in William’s mind!
This is the reason for his decision.
He was going to become the strongest NPC ever.
He will have the strongest armor and get beaten badly!
Who said that NPCs will have to be killed by players?
Who said that NPCs will level up slower than players?
Who said that NPCs will only drop equipment on the ground dead? He could drop dead even more… Touch wood!
Anyways, he will not die. With all of you weak players, I wouldn't even furrow my eyebrows once if I stand here and let all of you attack me!

　"Hey, Saojia actually sent a document so soon! This is too powerful?" At this time, someone suddenly discovered Lin Xu's "Water Melody".

　　...

　　"I rely on this, the first appraisal of the junior appraisal, I came to see what kind of text he made!"

　　...

　　"Well, I've sent a message so soon, and I see if he has the potential to become a god!"

　　...

　　For a time, tens of thousands of people saw the word, because when Saskatchewan became the first beginner to assess, many people directly clicked on him, which is like the world champion, when you did not take this At the time of the award, no one knows you, or few people know you, but once you become the champion, the people who follow you will rise straight, which is the benefit of this record.

　　In just one or two hours, Saskatchewan's attention directly reached more than 100,000, and it continued to rise, and Saskatchewan sent a message, so they immediately received a reminder.

　　However, almost everyone has an article that wants to see what level the genius boy can write. After all, just passing the junior writer, even if it is genius, it is estimated to be only a teenager. What can you write a good article?

　　Therefore, those who come in are also those who are hunted, but they don't really read his articles, but more people just look at this reminder and stop paying attention: "It's just a little child's practice. I am afraid that only children will watch it!"

　　However, when those who went in and saw it saw the first sentence "When there was a few months in the moon," they couldn't help but have a bright eye. This is a new style, completely different from what others have written. And if this sentence doesn't have much of a big feature, then the next sentence, "Let the wine ask the sky," immediately made everyone slap the case.

　　"Well, there is still such a text, actually you can write it!"

　　...

　　"I rely on, just two sentences, how can I seem to see a strange scene: a young and handsome young man, toasting against the blue sky..."

　　...

　　"These two sentences are absolutely gone. Why didn't I think I could write this?"

　　...

　　However, when these two sentences are read free of charge, the next words become ellipsis. People who often read articles on this list naturally know that this is a fee, and the charge is 0.05 sen.

　　Almost no one cares about this charge, so almost everyone who saw the first two sentences subconsciously clicked "confirm purchase", and then the following text immediately appeared in front of their eyes...

　　"This... This is a novel style. We have never seen it before. However, this kind of article is concise and concise, and I feel that this style has brought the role of the sacred text to a very high level! "

　　...

　　"Just a short one hundred words, can actually depict such a beautiful moon, such a touching feeling, this singer is really just a teenager? Will it be an old monster?"

　　...

　　"Sauer is so arrogant, I decided to become a fan of Saskatchewan! Iron powder!"

　　...

　　At this moment, Lin Xu, who is eating, naturally does not know what happened to his work. He is thinking about how to improve writing speed.

　　"If you can make a hard pen, that's good, then my speed will be improved. If there is keyboard input, it would be better!" Lin Xu thought so.

　　"Right, look at the store!" Lin Xu suddenly remembered the function of the mall.

　　After entering the Saint Wen net for the first time, Lin Xu entered the Shengwen network as long as he thought about it. However, when he entered the Shengwen network, suddenly a bunch of information jumped out.

　　"Congratulations, the subscription reaches 100, and you have taken another step in the journey of writing! Reward 100 Holy Power!"

　　"Congratulations, the subscription reaches 200, and you have taken another step in the journey of writing! Reward 100 Holy Power!"

　　"Congratulations, the subscription reaches 400, and you have taken another step in the journey of writing! Reward 100 Holy Power!"

　　"Congratulations, the subscription reaches 1000, and you have taken another step in the journey of writing! Reward 100 Holy Power!"

　　"Congratulations, the subscription reaches 2000, and you have taken another step in the journey of writing! Reward 100 Holy Power!"

　　"Congratulations, the subscription reaches 3000, and you have taken another step in the journey of writing! Reward 100 Holy Power!"

　　Seeing this, Lin Xu opened his mouth and didn't expect it to be a ten-minute effort. There were actually more than 3,000 people who subscribed to their own words, and when he saw this information, it was another message. Come out, the order has reached four thousand.

　　Lin Xu has some people who can't believe that the most of his previous novels have been set at more than 2,800. At that time, the goal set by him was that he had set a goal of full-time, but he could not reach more than 3,000. Now he is here. This is the opposite world, actually more than 4,000 in more than ten minutes, which is too outrageous, right?

　　However, Lin Xu was very surprised. This proves that the "Water Melody" that he sent out is also a classic in this sacred world. UU reads www.uukanshu.com so Lin Xu can preliminarily judge the world's preferences. It should be the same as the Chinese where you are.

　　Later, Lin Xu finally realized why his work would reach 4,000 subscriptions in more than ten minutes, because he found that his space attention reached a value of 150,000.

　　"It turns out that there are quite a few sacred texts in the world!" Lin Xu saw that this concern has been rising, and he couldn't help but be surprised. This is how long it takes, the amount of attention has reached 150,000, etc. Over time, I am afraid that the amount of attention will be even greater. "The original name of this primary assessment is still so useful!"

　　Lin Xu naturally knows that his own attention comes from the world's notification of the first assessment. Although the increased attention will be very large at this time, it will probably become less and less afterwards.

　　Lin Xu also wants to understand why his subscription volume is so much: "Ha ha, the entire sacred world is such a sacred network, no one is pirated, and my attention has reached 150,000, as long as I send a message, There will be 150,000 people who will see my message, even if only 10% of people subscribe to my article, I am afraid there are also 15,000 subscriptions! Sure enough, there is no piracy to be truly powerful!"

　　In any case, Lin Xu found that there were more than one hundred coins in his account, which was because he only sent one.

　　At this time, suddenly a world news came: "I recommend that you have time to read the singer's "Water Melody", this is definitely the latest poetry style, the most poetic and most emotional article. Although the author is only a junior writer, but the articles I wrote are even shameful!"

　　Originally, everyone saw this world speaking, thinking that the guy who is stupid and has more money is pushing his own text. As a result, when they see the other person's name, they can't help but exclaim.

------------

[ Sadako The Demon Of Neodeka ]

The tale of the life of the daughter of the king. She was cast out of the castle at a young age and forced to work as a slave. 

This poor lonely girl would one day become the powerful demon known as Sadako Gravestone.

The Bono-dong office was not as crowded as before. There were six full-time staff members and seven kids from Anifan. Jungah came to the office on the weekends.
What mattered to Hyunwoo was not the size of the staff. As the lazy employees were dismissed, those who survived were hard-working people.
In particular, Hyunwoo liked the new hire Kunho Chong, a graduate of Video Imaging College, who Jungah had recommended strongly. 
Slender in figure like a woman, Kunho drew pictures very quickly as Jungah said. 
Though he was not good at details, it was not a big deal.
What Hyunwoo really liked about him was his intelligence. 
Kunho not only drew pictures quickly but also understood and handled his job quickly. Though he was hired only a week ago, he was working like an experienced employee.
Jungkyu Pae, who Kyungsu recommended as an expert specializing in drawing pictures, was also excellent. Though he was not as smart as Kunho, Jungkyu looked dependable and he had a calm personality.
"What should I do with this?" asked Kyungsu, pointing to a screen.
Hyunwoo approached him to check the monitor showing the five video productions he had submitted the Talent Broadcasting.
After pondering over it for a moment, Hyunwoo presented a simple solution. 
"Just upload it in Story Mecca, with the title Special," said Hyunwoo.
"Got it."
Kyungsu posted the five productions all at once under the title Special.
"By the way, when are we going to switch the animation Tuti & Angelica to a paid subscription? It's enjoying explosive popularity in its current free format."
"What's the number of visits for the latest episode?"
"2.2 million."
Actually, the number of visits that Hyunwoo checked last night was 2.1 million. It had increased by 100,000 overnight. 
Over 70% of the visits were from overseas, which meant there were more visits from abroad than from Korea. 
Such a drastic increase was possible thanks to the English dubbing. The moment English dubbing was offered for Tuti & Angelica the upward trend of visits from abroad drastically went up. 
Hyunwoo checked the likely profits when Tuti & Angelica was switched to a paid subscription. If at least 10% of the free visits paid, it would mean 200,000 visitors. If Hyunwoo charged 300 won per episode, it would mean 60 million won. When Hyunwoo divided the revenue between Story Mecca and Ani & Funny at the ratio of 4:6, he would rake in 36 million won.
However, Hyunwoo felt the actual income would be far less than that as he was doubtful about the validity of the statistic that typically 10% of the free riders would continue to stay when the free content was switched to a paid subscription.
Hyunwoo thought about the difference between animation and the genre novel. The biggest difference was the reading population. The main readers of the genre novel were teens and adults while those of the animation works were children. 
Another factor that made Hyunwoo seriously lean toward a paid subscription system was the upward trend. The number of visits was going up and up.
"How many episodes do we have in stock right now?" asked Hyunwoo.
"We've got a total of nine episodes ready to go, and there are over 30 episodes we have to put some finishing touches on."
"Well, for the time being, I would like to maintain the current free subscription system."
Hearing at that Kyungsu felt somewhat regretful.
At that moment, Kunho said something surprising, "Wow, this kind of reaction is unexpected."
"What is it?"
"I mean the Special series we just uploaded."
"Is the reaction good enough?"
Hyunwoo and Kyungsu quickly checked out the computer monitor.
The reaction was something disappointing, though. Though the number of visits was big, the reaction was unfavorable, with visitors complaining about the dull content. 
Kyungsu let out a sigh and said, "What the heck is this? We put a great deal of time and energy in it, but the result makes us mope."
But Hyunwoo reacted differently. His eyes were glittering as if he found hope.
"I don't think so. I think I now know," said Hyunwoo. 
"What do you mean?" asked Kyungsu. 
"Jungah was right. It looks like she has a really wonderful discerning eye," said Hyunwoo. 
"What? Are you talking about me now?" asked Jungah.
"Think about this. Why do you feel the children like that low-budget animation?"
"Well, I don't really understand…"
"It's about change. They are stimulated not only by the change in the story but also the change in the display. They will be more and more thrilled as the story is coming to the climax, and now the screens become more colorful all of a sudden, which fans their excitement all the more."
Only then did Kyungsu and Sanggyu nod their heads, saying "Looks like we have to maintain the current format."
"I think we have found one factor that will make hits."
"How can you change the animation videos?"
"Bring in more screen changes than now."
"How?"
Hyunwoo now explained to them in great excitement, "As you know, the current animation puts emphasis on the highlighted one-minute portion of the ten-minute length. In other words, just one change. From now on the whole ten minutes should be full of changes in screen."
"Specifically, how?"
"Why don't you emphasize the psychological changes of the main character?"
What Hyunwoo meant was that every time the main character's psychological change needed attention, it should be intensively highlighted in one to three seconds. For example, when the main character was shy, angry or burst into laughter. 
"Oh, that kind of change will certainly have an effect, but you have to expect a delay in the production period as well as an increase in production costs," said Kyungsu.
"No, you can save the cost and production days," said Hyunwoo.
"Really? How?"
"Well, you don't have to make the change every time the main character's mood changes. If you prepare specific facial expressions in advance, you can just use them like a formula. You don't have to make a new one," said Hyunwoo.
That made sense. For example, assuming the main character's facial expression needs two seconds for a slight change, 30 changes would save them one minute of production time. 
Now, Hyunwoo's voice was full of vigor, suggesting he was confident of success.
In fact, he had no fear of failure.
He suddenly thought about when he initially founded Ani & Funny. He was only concerned with the growth of the Anifan kids, not revenues or profits. 
Though he was in a different situation now, he felt he should not give up his initial intention. 
"Then, I think we should develop the main character's facial expressions in a variety of ways," Kyungsu said.
"Let me tell Myunghun about it. In the meantime, can you work on the script for the new animation? From now on, we will upload various stories simultaneously," said Hyunwoo.
"Alright. Hey, Yujong, can you help me? I've got lots of work to do from now on," said Kyungsu.
"Yes, sir!" answered Yujong spiritedly.
Seeing them elated again, Hyunwoo was buoyant with expectations.
He had dinner with the staff of Ani & Funny that evening. 
It was already nearing 7 pm, and Hyunwoo stood up hurriedly.
"I'm afraid I have to leave now as I have an appointment."
They were all aware of what kind of appointment it was. Today was the day when Korean Broadcasting would air the first installment of the special series KOVE DREAM.
After he came out of the restaurant, Hyunwoo headed for the House of Happiness to watch it with the staff of N&C Korea.
As the dormitory next to the warehouse of N&C Korea was too small, all the staff could not get inside to watch the KOVE special. 
Sungrak and Juhwan, the staff managing the warehouse, were already there waiting for him.
"Welcome, sir."
"Please have a seat here."
The KOVE special was already on air. Hyunwoo watched it over beer with the staff,
The special was produced much better than expected. In particular, they almost got choked up when the portion containing some patriotic content was aired.
The special program was a three-part series, and Korea Broadcasting aired the program at the same time slot for three days.
Those who watched the series showed an enthusiastic reaction.
As soon as the series was over, the internet homepage of Korea Broadcasting was inundated with the feedback and encouragement from those who watched it.
All the staff of N&C Korea yelled for joy.
"Hooray! We'll be making lots of money, from now on, right?"
"I think I'm dreaming now!"
However, it was an empty dream.
Less than one week after Korea Broadcasting aired the special, Seoul Broadcasting aired 'Dream Korea' as if to compete against it.
And the content of Dream Korea slandered the KOVE DREAM special, questioning the validity of KOVE DREAM's argument that it's a coalition of the dream teams of Korea. And it showed the interview of Hyongbok Lee who was the leader of Dream Korea.

**Munpia Novels**

------
The previous chapters were mistakenly released under 《Remember The Name》. It's finally fixed.

They went to the publishing company right away. 

Media Factory is quite a famous book publishing company, however, its scale is smaller than the first-tier book publishing company in this country since it is fully focussed on publishing both manga and light novels. 

Haru also had thought to publish a normal book in the future, but for now, he wanted to focus on both manga and light novels and made it the best company that would produce anime, manga, music, and games.

Why is he interested in this business?

Because the market of this business is very big and he also needs the IP (Intellectual Property) of the story in this company. 

Haru knew that the quest in the Group Chat might be related to the work of something in the manga, anime, or even a movie in this world. 

That was why he decided to win the company since he could learn the plot of each story faster than being a consumer. Being able to learn the plot faster meant that he could prepare the quest better before he entered another world for the quest. 

The trip was quite good and the four of them went to the Media Factory since it had officially become his. 

Haru had entered the company before and the employee of the company had also known him since it was also shocking news when they learned that their new boss was very young. However, at the same time, they were relieved since they knew that their boss was a writer and wasn't someone who was clueless in this industry. 

Haru along with Utaha, Seri, and Machida went together and entered the office together before being greeted by the receptionist. They went directly to the meeting room where the executives of this company had gathered together. 

Haru didn't change the personnel of this company that much since the result of this company was quite good, however, he also needed to check them and put his team into the department of finance. 

The executives of the company had gathered in the meeting room and they had been waiting for him for a while, however, they didn't have an annoying expression on their faces since in their opinion this little company was only a toy for Haru. They had also met him a week ago when he went to visit this company and they wouldn't think that he was a high school student. 

"Truth be told, that I'm very satisfied with this company," Haru said. 

Seri, Utaha, and Machida were beside him and didn't say anything. 

"I'll also put my novel in this company too," Haru said. 

They knew about Haru's novel which was known as Sword Art Online and 5 Centimeters per Second since they had also tried to poach him from other companies, however, they didn't expect him to buy this company directly. 

The talk between them was very smooth since everyone was familiar with the publishing book, especially light novels. 

Haru didn't only want this company to publish a light novel, but also an anime, music, and games. He knew that the IP from the company was very valuable, especially those high sales light novels. 

Then he also told them about his website that he had made and wanted them to take care of it. 

His plan had always been to create a video hosting website, however, that website wasn't something similar to a youtube, rather it was more similar to a Twitch, Niconico, or Bilibili.

What is so special about this video hosting website and what makes it different?

Bullet screen.

Haru wrote those words on the board. 

????

Everyone was confused by these words since they weren't familiar with it. 

Haru started to explain about "bullet screen" 

Bullet screens are a feature on video sites that allow real-time comments from viewers to fly across the screen like bullets. 

Haru told them with this feature it would make the viewers on the website think that they were able to talk to each other (which they don't...). 

They were very surprised by this video hosting project and felt that it had good prospects. 

"But it needs a very big server." 

One of the executives who was quite knowledgeable about the internet was quite concerned that the website would crash when there were a lot of people who accessed it. 

"For the server, you don't need to worry since  I own a computing cloud," Haru said. "No matter how many people will access our website, it won't cause a lag or crash." 

"...." 

Everyone was very startled at this moment. 

"Haru-sama, tell me why you have never told me about cloud computing," Seri said with a serious expression. 

"....." Haru blinked his eyes and said, "Let's talk about that matter later since I want to focus on this matter first." 

"Yes." Seri nodded. 

Haru continued with his talk to create the biggest community for animation, games, and music (ACG).

Everyone became more excited the more that they heard it. 

Haru told them how to operate this website along with how to get revenue such as advertisement and subscription. 

The conversation had become quite long and he also talked about a special method for someone to become a member of this website with answered 100 questions that they had prepared. 

For the content, Haru said to use all of the anime that they had made in the company with also inviting a famous dancer, voice actress agency, idol agency, mangaka, and a lot of more while also explaining the benefit of joining their website such as more income and to advertise their new work.

Haru told them to discuss the regulation of the website with themselves along with setting up the price of the subscription. 

The price of the subscription is very important since it can't be too expensive, but it also needs to give them a benefit 

Haru thought for a while and said, "How about 540 yen per month?" 

They thought that it was very cheap to only pay that much each month, but they also thought that it was quite a good price for the subscription. 

If they multiply 540 yen to 10 million people then it means that their income can reach 5.4 billion yen each month. 

It is also possible to become bigger in the future. 

They also didn't need to pay the server since Haru had a cloud computing making the cost of the website less since it was Haru's company. (They need to pay too since it is a different business, but of course, the price is cheaper).

Of course, to attract people to subscribe to their website, they also need to have good content. 

Their talk was quite long, but their eyes were full of spirit and they couldn't wait to set up a new division in this company. 

"The next one, I want to set up a weekly manga magazine," Haru said. 

"...."

Maybe I'll full of energy to write your favorite fanfic.

Hi everyone,

Firstly, I just want to give a seriously sincere apology. I read a really heartbreaking review just now where a reader said they were giving up on the story because of my slow updates. For all the early readers, most of you know I have always been slow on updates due to juggling my studies and work which were always a priority to me.

I have been busy recently working on publishing the first volume of "A Gatekeeper and the Celestial Sovereign" as a Paperback/Hardback with illustrations (proofreading, editing, typesetting etc). 
I have been working with an amazing artist named Rodrigo Gil Chavez who has made some amazing art for the upcoming physical Book. 
You can see the trailer for the book and some of the great art on my website, Writing Pilgrimage, or on my Youtube which has the same name. 
 I really wanted to make something special for all my amazing readers who have stayed with me despite my slow updates to commemorate the end of the first arc which is only two chapters away.

Because I've been working on that and I was waiting on a good time to announce it, I have been holding back on publishing more chapters.
I feel awful though for making you all wait and for having a lot of you disappointed in me.
So I will publish the last two chapters of this arc/volume this Saturday at 10am GMT.

If you want to keep up to date with the official Book release of the first volume than subscribe to my website or YouTube channel: Writing Pilgrimage.
If you want sneak peeks of the amazing illustrations by Rodrigo than definitely check out the trailer which is on YouTube!!!!

After this I solemnly swear to update with at least three chapters a week.

Mao Lu is a regular Beijinger, well except for the fact that he's in a lot of debt and is best friends with a conglomerate heir.
 He works hard to make money and struggles with his daily life until one day he receives a letter. 
A letter that changes everything. 
Follow his adventures as he travels between dimensions, falls in love with a powerful prince and uncovers a terrifying conspiracy.

The first volume will soon be available as a fully proofread and edited eBook and Paperback with illustrations. To be ready for the pre-order and pre-release join the mailing list on my website: https://writing-pilgrimage.com or subscribe to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5vuT5l1K1uVnfLTQQpNAuw

One reason why you should not use expensive software for your freelance work because you don't get paid until your work is completed. You can use cheaper software that doesn't need paying yearly or monthly subscription fees but you can not use expensive software that has a yearly or monthly subscription like Autodesk Cinema 4d, Adobe and other industry standards software. Some people can use free and open-source software like Krita for concept art and matte painting and for movie and TV shows are Blender and other freemium software for VFX and animation software for their freelance work or startup business. Some people don't work but they use cheaper or less expensive hardware to start a VFX or animation or other business that is good for their budgets not over the budget. If your budget for your movie or tv series visual effects is not like Hollywood standard budget for your movie or tv series visual effects you can use freeware, alternative software, freemium and cheap or free and open-source for your VFX, modelling, animation and sculpturing and other things during the production, pre-production and post-production for your content. If you want to make your own video game you can use Unreal engine, Uchronia Project Blender Game Engine, Unity, armoury game engine and lot more. Blender is the best software that is used by independent game studios next to nuke, cinema 4d, lightwave 3d, Reallusion Iclone, TV paint, Krita, Unreal, Unity, CryEngine, Godot, Cocos2d,libGDX Panda3D, Construct and other software. Cinema 4d is less expensive than Maya and 3dsMax.

Long Jian excused himself and left their private dining room. He headed to the men's washroom to relieve himself. While doing his business, he heard a group of college students talking to each other.

"Man, I'm exhausted. I played this new game for the past two nights. It's called 'Supreme Ascension'. Do you know it?"

"Of course I know it! I'm actually one of the first people who bought a subscription when it officially launched last week. I discovered it at a gaming convention about a month ago. They let people play the sample. Before I realized it, I spent my entire time at the convention just playing the game. The story line is different depending on which class you choose. I think that's very cool. The graphics are just freaking awesome. And the world-building? Don't get me started. It's so detailed and so on-point that I think it's going to be the next big thing in the gaming world. I was so disappointed when they told me that it wasn't available yet during that time. That's why I've been waiting for its official release and immediately bought the subscription. And I'm telling you, it's so worth it."

"Ah, damn. I'm only playing the free version. Maybe I'll buy the subscription, too. The pricing is reasonable, as well. It won't bankrupt us poor college students."

Another slightly older man in his mid-twenties piped in. "Sorry to interrupt. I just overheard your conversation. Are you talking about the MMORPG 'Supreme Ascension'?"

"Yeah, man. You play it, too?"

"Yes! Actually my older brother was one of the beta testers of the game."

"What?! For real?! That's cool as f*ck, man!"

The newcomer looked pleased at their reaction. "Yeah. Apparently, it's made by a completely new gaming company called Planet Monkey. It also seems that the game developers are total newbies. Kinda unbelievable, right? With that kind of quality, you'll think that the game was created by one of the big companies with numerous other games under their belt. But no, this is apparently their first game."

"Wow. I didn't know that. That's insane. They must be loaded to be able to create such a high quality game and even build a company."

"Nah. My brother said that the CEO is only in his mid-twenties—that's around my age—and the CFO is in his late twenties. They aren't rich at all. Both were office workers living paycheck to paycheck before they decided to quit and build their own gaming company."

"Huh? Where did they get all of their funding then?"

"I heard that the President-Owner of the company is the one who's super rich. My brother has never seen the owner, but he heard from the employees that the owner is apparently a beautiful young woman. They say that she's very generous. Whatever they ask, she provides. That's why they have the best environment to create the game compared to other indie developers and maybe even some of the big gaming companies."

"Beautiful young woman? Come on! That's pure bullsh*t. The owner is probably a rich, young master who has more money than he could spend, plays video games all day, and has never had a girlfriend before."

They all laughed.

"But that is amazing, man. I wish I could be a beta tester, too. That would be so freaking cool."

"If you're serious, I can connect you with my brother. He's still working part-time as a tester for the company, even though the game is already released. Mainly to check for bugs and to evaluate user experience, that kind of thing. And he says that the job pays well."

"For real?! Man, let's exchange contact info! When I graduate, I'm so going to apply to Planet Monkey."

"Me too! But what I really want to know is if it's really true that the owner is a beautiful young woman!"

Long Jian washed his hands, feeling a little annoyed that these guys were being so noisy inside the washroom. He looked down on people like them. 

For him, any adults playing video games were lazy bums. That beta testing or whatever was not a real job. It could only be a side hustle for desperate people who were too lazy to put in the effort to get real jobs like him. 

A faint sneer marred his handsome face.

However, Long Jian envied the owner of that Planet Monkey company. He didn't care whether the owner was really a beautiful young woman or a rich young master. He wished that he could also have the freedom and the money to build his own successful business from scratch.

Even though he was a Long, his finances were limited to what he was currently earning as a corporate worker. His father stopped sending him allowance when he started working after graduating from university. 

Fortunately, his mother was able to invest in several small properties while she was still his father's mistress. She rented these properties to others, providing their family with a continuous stream of extra income.

He wasn't like Long Hui or Long Xiulan, the legitimate children, who grew up with silver spoons in their mouths. Their other half-sister, Long Jinjing, had a similar upbringing to him. Although he and Long Jinjing were richer compared to the average people, they were nowhere near as wealthy as the young masters and young misses from other affluent families.

Well, it didn't matter if he couldn't start his own company. He wasn't that interested in trying it anyway. Why start his own when he could get his hands on an already established and successful company? 

What he wanted the most was Long Industries. He would work extremely hard and do everything in his power, even sell his soul to the devil, in order to achieve this ambition.

As he made his way back to the private dining room, he thought about his youngest half-sister. He heard that Long Xiulan started her own company and begged their father for some sort of a business deal. He chuckled, the sound filled with mockery.

'What an idiot. A person like her who barely graduated from senior high school and never attended university started her own business? Does she think that running a business is that easy? What a joke. I'll bet that her business—whatever it is—will fail in just a few months. She has the money, yes, but skills? How laughable. Not everyone can be like the owner of that Planet Monkey who seems to run his or her company very well despite being a total newbie in the gaming industry.'

A world-famous hacker and daughter of the most powerful criminal family who ruled the international Underworld for many generations is killed when their organization is annihilated in a single night.

Chapter 133 – Angry Grandma
Mia lay on his bed after the sexy time with Shurka. He did not go to work today as it was a day-off for all combat staffs after a long raid.
It had been half a month of Mia game-time in-game, yet he could not change his class because his level had not reached the optimum 200.
<<+1 EXP>>
<<+1 EXP>>
<<+1 EXP>>
Game messages kept coming as the residents of Shelter 88 gained EXP through their daily life, which Mia got a share. The flow of EXP dropped after the fight was over as Mia only gained 10 EXP a minute on average. It would take him two days to increase a level.
"I came here for a mecha game, but I get the mutated world and a city-building game. Talk about advertising fraud."
Mia sighed. He turned to Shurka, who had already taken a morning bath and got ready to go to work.
"You're working today?"
"Yeah, I need to complete my class change quest again."
"What is your questing job?"
"Mech mechanic. I'm working on robots now."
Mia's eyes glittered, "Cool! Then, can you construct a mech in the future?"
"Don't get your hopes up. I'm merely a rookie. Besides, it takes ages to level up lately."
"What's your level now?"
"The same as yours, 121."
"So fast! How did you level so fast!?"
Shurka grinned. Shurka walked toward Mia and kissed his lips, "Milking your sugar."
"What!?"
Shurka flashed her skill description panel to Mia.

************************
.
Mia was shocked, "What kind of hack skill is this!? Wait a second, 533!? It counts my deeds!?"
Shurka burst into laughter as she flickered his forehead. Before she left, Shurka reminded Mia.
"Wash the bed sheet and our clothes while you're home. Don't forget to clean the house."
"…"
*Mew* (That's a sick skill. Too bad you don't have it.)
Mia guessed that only mutant female players had it. Still, it was weird.
Curious, Mia transformed into Misha and rechecked her skills.

.
Misha did not have it.
*Meh-heh Mew* (Ehehehehe)
Tama seemed to understand something. She laughed suspiciously.
However, Misha still did not understand how Shurka acquired that skill. As the ability was too cheating, Misha wanted it, also.
.
After hours of house-chores, Misha strolled to the underground lake. She found many dragonewts and demi-humans swimming in it, relaxing under the artificial light.
Then, someone called Misha.
"Misha! Are you here for a picnic?"
It was Crystal and Thorn. Were they here on a date?
Crystal had her two-piece swimsuit on while Thorn was in his worn-out t-shirt and cargo pants. Some of Crystal's scales were still there on her cheeks and her arms, but her smooth human skin replaced her scales from neck down.
The dragonewt Crystal became a beauty in her swimwear, which made Misha annoyed a bit when she noticed how smug Thorn was.
"Crystal, can I talk with you for a second?"
Misha shooed Thorn away and dragged Crystal with her.
"What's wrong?"
"Crystal, by chance, do you have a skill called [Mating Season]?"
Crystal widened her eyes. Her face reddened as she glanced at Thorn in the distance.
"Y-Yes. Wait a minute, how do you know about this skill!? Have you slept with someone!?"
"Huh?"
"What?"
Seeing how clueless Misha was, Crystal thought of something.
"Do you have the skill, Misha?"
"Err, no. Shurka has it, but I don't have it."
"Oh?"
Crystal grinned, "Did Shurka find a man?"
"Eh?"
"You see, Misha. Only female mutants can get this skill. It appears after we had sex with a man we like."
"WHAT!?"
"It's a privilege for girls like us. We usually use this skill to increase our level and status attributes. Hey, are you looking for a good man? I can catch a good hunk for you."
Misha flinched when Crystal mentioned, "catch." It sounded primitive and wrong on so many levels.
"N-No need. Also, I need to clarify things a bit."
Misha confessed to Crystal that her real identity was a man.
Crystal was taken aback as she did not believe it. Without a choice, Misha transformed into Mia.
He took Crystal's hands and made her touch his chest.
"See?"
Crystal frowned, "Isn't it because you're flat?"
At this moment, Maou took over the control. He shifted Crystal's hands to his junk instead.
After touching his softball, Crystal's face flushed. In disbelief, she pulled Mia's pants to peek his thing.
Confirmed that it existed, Crystal stared into Mia's eyes.
"You can switch gender!?"
With a deep voice, Mia groaned, "From the very beginning, I'm a dude. But when I come to this world, the goddamn goddess forced me to use Misha's form."
"OH!"
Crystal laughed, "Then, did you claim Shurka? Is that why you ask about this skill?"
"Well, yes."
Maou thought, 'I kinda figured it out before that banana dragged you here, though.'
"Ooookay! I get it. I'm sorry, Mish. Unless your female body gets a man, you can't get this skill. Are you into a man or a woman?"
"Obviously, I'm straight. Don't push a man to me anymore, please."
"Roger that. Hahaha."
Crystal and Mia chatted about his complicated life as a dual-gender otherworlder for a while before she went back with Thorn, continuing their date.
Mia got his answer, and he returned to his cottage.
While he was walking toward his residence, he received a system message.
<<Your grandmother has transferred you 9,000 diamonds!>>
<<Your grandmother left you a message.>>
[I've sent you enough diamonds to get you back home. Since the subscription fee is monthly, that means you can return to the game later if you have something unfinished. Just pay the toll and come back. Sasha and Natalie are also waiting for your return.]
Mia clenched his fists. Without hesitation, he entered his soul space and shattered all remaining boys in the cage. He made the statue absorb all of it in one go, which caused the statue to flinch.
Afterward, he got back to his cottage and rechecked the price of his subscription fee.
The price was 7,500 diamonds since there were 75 souls inside him.
72 Girls
Maou Mia
Banana Mia/Misha
And Tama.
Although Mia had enough diamonds, he did not buy the subscription yet. As a precaution, Mia spoke, trying to talk to the goddess.
"I bought the subscription. I have a few questions about it. Can you answer some for me?"
As Mia had expected, Lilith answered.
<<Yep, what can I do for you?>>
"Can I designate a location when I go back to my world?"
<<No. You will return to the place where you first enter the game. In other words, you will reappear inside your game capsule.>>
"Is it possible to request for an extra service? I need someone to relocate her transfer point."
<<I can do that, but I will have to request an additional 10,000 diamonds.>>
"That's freaking expensive!"
<<You are asking me to help you teleport someone in your world. That's a fair price.>>
"…"
Mia wanted to transfer Shurka to his grandmother's fleet, so she would not get entangled with the MWG.
Unfortunately, the transfer would have to wait.
"Then, can you send me a message to my grandmother?"
<<The service is 100 diamonds.>>
"I'll pay. Deliver me a message, please."
.
.
.
Uriel Min sat in Mia's room in her spaceship, waiting for her grandson to return.
Two hours ago, she transferred her diamonds to Mia by using her connection with the goddess. Then, she kept waiting here, hoping to see her precious grandson again.
<<BEEP>>
A game screen flashed before her.
In fluster, Min skimmed through the screen.
[Grandma, this is Mia.
Thank you for your diamonds. I have enough to return home now. However, I ran into a few problems.
I suspect that people in this game are not NPCs, but they are real people! Right now, I got involved in their struggle, and I'm planning to help them get through the WW III.
Secondly, I scored you a granddaughter-in-law, and I made her into an inferno dragonewt like me. I tried to ask the goddess if she can transfer her to your spaceship to avoid the complication with MWG, but she demanded another 10,000 diamonds for her service.
I'll go back once I get enough diamonds for her. I can't go back right now because of the time flow difference. I'm afraid that I might miss something or WW III could have happened when I'm away. I can't abandon these mutants I'm protecting.
PS. My girlfriend is a relative of that asshole Fluke Luckyaf, though. But she's pretty, and she's smart. You'll like her if you see her.]
After she had finished reading her grandson's message thrice, Uriel Min's face darkened with anger.
She muttered in a trembling voice, "Wet banana! You think of your hoe before your grandma!?"
Min turned to the soulless Sasha and Natalie.
"I'm sorry, fairies. I will take a bit longer to bring your soul back to your body. Your pack leader is playing hooky."
Grandmother Min used her psionic link, sending a message to Tiffany.
[Fetch me LHO game consoles and ten elites to join the game. I'm going to drag my grandson back home!]
A few seconds later, Tiffany sent her telepathy message back.
[It will take a while, my dear. I'm still on earth with a pretty boy. Did you forget that I'm on vacation leave for a week?]
Uriel Min almost snapped. Her veins could be seen on her face, and they pulsed to the point that they almost burst.
[Fine. I'll get one on my own.]


Mia: "There are three kinds of humans in this world, wet bananas, inedible bananas, and rotten bananas."
Mob A&B&C: "What?"
Mia: "I want to play a game. You will pick one of the bananas, and tell me what what type of humans you are."
Mob A: "Screw you. Why should I?"
*Mia killed Mob A*
Mia: "Your turn."
Mob B: "I'm a human, not a banana."
*Mia killed Mob B and stuffed him into a banana.*
Mia: "Your turn."
Mob C: "I-I'm a wet banana."
Mia: "Good choice!"
*Nom-Nom Mew!* (Food!)
*Tama killed Mob C*
