Chapter 26 – 26. Let’s Not Eat Anything

I agonized between the eggs of the Black Death and the fangs.

‘It’s an egg of the Black Death.’

I don’t know what he does, he doesn’t even know what he looks like or what his specs are, so I wonder if it’s right to pick out eggs and raise them.

‘Moreover, this is not a summoning.’

This is the biggest stumbling block. It bothers me that the description doesn’t explicitly state that it’s a summoned beast.

Salamander is clearly stated to be a summoned beast. That’s why even if you die, you can summon it again, but the Black Death was not a summoned beast. If he died in battle, wouldn’t he just die as he really was?

‘If you die while raising them, that’s just the end. That’s not quite right.’

It just says ‘tameable’, so I wonder if it will end as it is when it dies.

Moreover, it is not given in a hatched state, but it must be raised from an egg state, which seems to be quite troublesome.

What if I carry it around and somehow it breaks? Then you don’t even have to fry it. From the fact that it is given as an egg, it smells strongly of kwang.

‘Yes, let’s not choose the egg of the Black Death. If you die while raising them for no reason, you will waste compensation and know how much resources, time and effort will be spent on raising them. Moreover, I’ve raised them to my heart’s content, but I’ll be very annoyed if they’re scolded, or if they’re not in good spirits even after they’ve grown up.’

The egg of the Black Death is dismissal. After thinking over and over again in many ways, I had a hunch that choosing an egg might not be the best choice.

‘Then it’s a fang…’

Its fangs are the most powerful weapon on earth, capable of killing anyone in one hit with just a single stab.

However, given that it is disposable, it is a bit hesitant to choose it.

Do you have to write it once and throw it away? Something very sad It’s worth considering if you can use it at least five times, but the fact that it’s disposable makes you hesitant to choose a fang.

‘Honestly, just looking at the tentacle ejection and oral summoning skills I have now, most enemies are one-shot cut… But do I really need to choose fangs?’

Anyway, the performance of my skill was so good that I thought it wouldn’t matter if I didn’t have fangs.

Moreover, if it is a tentacle or mouth summon, it can kill special zombies from medium or long distances with one shot.

The tentacles can even grab and pop five of them to death.

Thinking like that, the fangs that I had to approach and stab them felt like a reward with no great merit.

‘Then, a twisted inner story that increases mana so that I can use a lot of skills is much more beneficial.’

As my thoughts reach that far, my eyes naturally go toward the inner hem.

This is a crazy thing that increases your magic attribute by as much as 500 if you eat it well.

A 500 magic attribute increase. How many levels do you have to raise to reach it?

No answer comes out. That’s a huge number that can’t be counted.

‘Magic power of 500. To be honest, I’m a sucker.’

If I eat this, I think I can confidently say that I am the strongest in this town.

Even though the magic stat of 245 is by no means low, how strong would I become if I increased by 500 to become 745? Could it be that no one can stop me even if I spew tentacles in all directions?

It’s a shame to be able to fire tentacles like mad and activate Unholy Touch all the time.

And if you use the slave label once, 10 mana is consumed, but if it is 745 magic attribute… It’s really enough magic attribute to open a slave factory without lying. In addition, in terms of experience, the mana recovery was faster in proportion to the amount of mana. Even if you consume all 745 mana, it will fill up in a few hours if you sit down and rest.

If your magic power is around 745, honestly, wouldn’t it be worth it to live with a bit of carelessness?

If I can avoid the instant death rate of 55%, I will be one step closer to a real Munchkin.

‘And since the total stats went up by 10 as a reward when mana exceeded 100… Wouldn’t I get similar benefits this time too?’

If you succeed in ingesting it, you will be able to achieve several achievements.

‘Or should I gamble with Hwang Soo-min this time?’

Hwang Soo-min is a class that benefits unconditionally if the magic stat is high.

Maybe if you get close to 500 at once, you can use it as a magic bomber.

I’m not kidding, it’s going to be huge. It seems that he could burn all the enemies approaching by shooting magic with ignorance.

‘But can Sumin Hwang survive with a 45% chance?’

This is the problem. A 45 percent chance of surviving is certainly not a low figure. However, considering that the probability of dying is 55%, this is by no means a low number, so I hesitate to choose.

To be honest, if Hwang Su-min eats the twisted inner hem, I think he will die.

Because luck wasn’t that high. Hwang Soo-min’s luck was lower than Harin’s 33.

‘No matter how much my luck affects me… I have a better chance of surviving than Hwang Soo-min eats. Anyway, my luck is 666.’

If Hwang Soo-min ate Naedan and died because of one mistake, it would be a waste of mage for the loss of achievement compensation.

I decided that it was better for me to eat the safe bread, which had a filthy high luck value.

‘Yes, I will eat it. The chance of surviving after eating the twisted inner hem is as high as 45%. It’s worth a try…’

As I stared at the twisted inner hem of the black sand while thinking about various things, a little devil in the form of Eunji popped out of my head and whispered in my ear.

‘You wanted to eat it from the beginning.’

Hot.

I was stabbed in the middle. Driving me crazy.

Gulp.

My mouth watered naturally as I imagined eating the inner hem of the black sand and gaining 745 magic power.

Actually, I wanted to eat it from the beginning.

500 magic attribute isn’t the name of anyone’s dog, and I don’t want to give up easily.

There was not even a warning not to eat more than two, like the inner layer of black sand. It must mean that the inner hem of the black sand and the twisted inner hem of the black sand are not overlapping objects.

However, I hesitated because of the explanation saying that he would die instantly. I wondered if I would be lucky enough to survive this time.

I wasn’t being corrected for the main character like the main character in a novel, and I wasn’t sure that death would escape me this time, so I couldn’t readily choose my side.

At that time, an angel resembling Harin appeared in my head and helped me with a word.

‘Hey you bastard! Luck is so high, can you put up with this? Only your lucky number is 666. But are you worried about being left behind?’

Do you think these are the same guys as angels and demons?

Well, both are part of my delusion, so the opinion must be the same.

‘Try to eat together…?’

My heart fell halfway over the twisted inner hem of the black thread.

But still undecided If someone tells me to eat it, I think I can eat it right away. I need the courage to eat my sweets now.

I wanted to wake up Eunji and Harin to ask for their opinions, but I didn’t wake them up because neither of them would try to punish me not to eat the sweets.

What I needed right now was not realistic, heartfelt advice, but a word of encouragement.

So I closed my eyes tightly. Then he remembered Carshinax.

It was a small expectation that he would give me a clear answer since his name was my main god.

‘Kashnax-sama… Can I eat this inner altar…?’

As if asking a magical conch beating, I asked my main god.

In fact, it didn’t matter if they didn’t respond greatly to my call.

It felt like religious people praying to Jesus or Buddha. I prayed out of frustration, not really hoping for an answer.

It’s just that I don’t believe in God or Buddha, so I don’t have anyone to pray to, so I just prayed to Kashinax…

Did my prayer reach you?

Suddenly, I felt the gaze of a huge being.

“Huh…!”

Eyes of the giant evil, united with deep malice.

I feel a very burdensome gaze as if staring at me.

The moment I was exposed to that gaze, chills ran down my spine and cold sweat broke out.

Wouldn’t that be how a mouse feels when it sees a snake in front of it?

It is a presence that is too daunting for a small person to handle in the middle of the day.

‘What, what… Why are you staring at me like this…?’

Why are you paying so much attention to me? Are you a god with nothing to do?

Or is it because he acquired Manma’s favor? It’s a strangely positive reaction.

‘What… I didn’t expect this much attention… I just prayed for no reason.’

Honestly, I never imagined that he would respond so quickly and accurately to my prayers.

I didn’t even think it would stare at me like this. It’s very burdensome.

‘The gaze is heavy… I’d rather respond with indifference.’

The pressure is getting more and more intense.

Just when I thought it was going to be difficult to breathe, the answer from God came back.

[Do it yourself.]

[Hungry.]

The will of God that pierces your head.

I feel great hunger. They want human sacrifice right now.

I almost pulled out the ceremonial dagger at the moment of intense expression of will that made me feel dizzy.

I was seized with the thought that I had to kill and sacrifice someone, even though there was no human sacrifice next to me right away.

If Jihwan Koo or Dokyung Kim were present here, they might have made an offering right away.

“Heo-euk… Huh… Cool…”

The pressure that had been holding me down disappeared in an instant.

The presence and gaze that had taken hold of my soul naturally withdrew.

‘What kind of presence is this big…’

I thought I was really dying. Praying to God is such a dangerous thing…

I realized anew that being connected to a real God is no joke.

Moreover, perhaps because he has only performed human sacrifice once, he has not been well liked, so I wonder if he has returned with a sharper response.

‘Never. Never pray recklessly again. Even if I pray, I will at least do it after making a human sacrifice.’

You really can’t be careless about anything against evil spirits.

If you go to church and pray as if you were praying to Jesus, you might get angry with the evil spirits.

‘Still, since he told me to do it myself, I think he told me that it’s okay to try…’

It seemed like a nuance that there was no problem eating it.

I don’t know if this judgment is my expedient and arbitrary interpretation or the real will of God.

Still, after hearing something, I decided that I could eat it.

‘Okay. Let’s eat. In what time period would you increase your magic power by 500? I have to eat this even if I die. I eat even if I can’t eat..!’

The moment he made a decision, he acted quickly.

I chose the twisted inner hem of the Black Death as an achievement reward.

Soon, a twisted inner story appeared in front of my eyes.

‘It’s a little different from what I ate before…’

The inner hem of the black silk I ate last time was just black. This time, a yellow line was drawn. It looks even more dangerous. It is a color that warns you that you will die if you eat it.

“Whoa… Whoa…”

I took a deep breath.

Beating heart. I’m so nervous that I get goosebumps and my hands shake a little.

‘I’ve been good at drawing since the old days. Gacha was lucky. Obviously… I can definitely live this time too. Yes, Carshinax will protect me. Do you think 666 luck is a dick?’

Gulp.

Swallowed

The inner layer melted like chocolate as soon as it entered the mouth.

‘Has it happened? Is it a success? But why is there no warning sign popping up?’

It’s a different reaction than last time.

When I ate the inner hem of the black sand, as soon as I put it in my mouth, a notice popped up and told me that my mana had risen by 200.

‘No way… No way. Do you trust your luck too much? Shit! It can’t be like this. Why is there no response… Ugh…!’

Throbbing… Throbbing!

Pounding! Pounding! Pounding! Pounding!!!

My heart is beating.

An audible beating accompanied by a pulsating heartbeat followed by pain that seemed to pulsate in the veins.

“Turn it off…!!!”

“Lord, master!! Sister!”

“What, what! Brother, why are you here?! Brother!”

“Keep it off!!!!”

My body trembled and shook.

My heart feels like it’s about to explode.

Crab foam flowed from his mouth and he felt the veins in his eyes bursting, and at the same time his vision was dark.

Dark.

I can’t feel my body

‘Damn it… It perished like a dog…’

Are you really dead?

Why doesn’t the lucky 666 work?

Leaving only questions, my consciousness…

I was sucked into that deep ‘abyss’.
