Chapter 417 – 417. The No. 1 Survival Horse in the World

How many hours had he been in the warehouse?

I could barely stop thanks to Paimon stopping me in the middle.

“Whoa. Whoa.”

A notification window popped up in front of my eyes when I let go of Aram, who was holding on to me with a heavy breath.

“What is this?”

I checked the notification window to see if I had achieved a new achievement with a dirty feeling, such as ‘Demon Slayer 24 hours’, and something unexpected came to mind.

[Survival Ranking 1st]
[Jang Jo-jun]

The survival ranking that popped up in front of me.

This, that’s it

The new system that was said to start slowly during the last update.

‘I think they said they would be ranked from 1st to 100th.’

When I checked, the rankings had gone up. Information about the survivors ranked 1st through 100th.

“Wow.”

First place is me. However, the names below it were names I had never seen before.

“Beowulf and Kaguya? What are these bastards?”

Something is strange. There are names that I have heard of somewhere. I thought that all of my girls would take it up to 10th place, but what is this?

“Lemmingkeinen? Ah.”

Now I get it

The names that have risen to the 26th place are high-ranking officials. Because they also have the qualifications of a player. Unlike NPCs like Zeke, Hilde, and Mer, they can also be considered players.

Anyway, below me are the 25 dead who have been resurrected to this world due to the ‘Inferno Flooding’ update. They were proudly putting their names on the rankings.

By the way, Lemmingkeinen, who I accidentally caught while visiting a street vendor created in a department store, was ranked 24th. Among the 25 high-ranking dead who came up from Hell, he was in the lower ranks.

If so, how strong are the rest of them? In particular, what is Beowulf, the 2nd place right below me, doing?

‘All of them must be of a high level. Can the player capture the High Dead?’

It seems that the only way for ordinary players to catch the High Man is to awaken the sensory stats, or to have a secondary awakening, or to be protected by a stronger NPC as a companion, or these three methods.

Well, it’s our stronghold. There are a few beings who will just tear these bastards apart, so you shouldn’t worry too much.

Since Mer and Hilde are holding on, it should be fine as long as they don’t show up in groups. But since everyone is out now, I need to attack the Forest of Corruption as quickly as possible.

Anyway, I managed to reach number one in the rankings again. No. 1 on a huge server called Earth. I vaguely thought that I was the strongest, but I felt new when he told me openly that I was number one.

Even rewards are given.

[Ranked 1st place!!]

[Reward will be given!!]

[111,111 coins]
[Skill Reset Coupon]
[Class change ticket]
[Stat Redistribution Right]

“Oh.”

Starting with more than 100,000 points, various rewards have been created. Even things I didn’t have to use.

It seems that he took good care of himself because he was ranked No. 1. Moreover, achievements have been achieved.

[Achievement achieved! ‘First No. 1’]
[Achievement achieved! ‘The Strongest Survivor’]
[Achievement achievement reward will be given.]
[Achievement achievement reward will be given.]

“Kiya. This is it.”

First 1st place. This is an achievement that only I can achieve. Furthermore, the achievement of being the strongest survivor, given only to the first place, was an achievement that no one else could achieve.

‘Come to think of it, Aram’s ranking…’

What is the ranking of Aram, who has awakened for the second time this time?

“It’s 30.”

Ranking is quite high. The 2nd to 26th ranks are all ex-heroes, so if you look at them and me, who is the undisputed number one, there are only three Aram at the top.

“One of the three is Yewon.”

Yewon, who finished the 2nd awakening right away and opened a beast farm in hell, was in 29th place. And the 28th place was occupied by a mysterious Latino woman named Tracy Ortega.

There are also survivors in South America. Then the 27th…

“Hiroshi Kojima.?”

An unknown Japanese was occupying the 27th place… No, wait. Who is Hiroshi Kojima?

“You bastard… Aren’t you a game developer?”

Yes I know this name

So… When should we talk?

Okay. When I was stuck at home playing games without even knowing the disaster had begun.

Hiroshi Kojima is the guy who made the game that accompanied me during the three-day Lunar New Year holiday.

Of course, she could be the same person. Hiroshi was a more common name in Japan than I thought.

However, for some reason, I had a strong feeling that the person listed here must be the Kojima Hiroshi I know.

Hiroshi Kojima. It was quite famous in the industry. When I was working for a small business, Jo-Jun Jang, a cattle stock, was the only pleasure in life.

Because in my life before the disaster, I had no proper friends, family, or lovers.

My only support was the game.

‘I think I was breaking the zombie’s head in that game too.’

Now, it has become the most vicious survival horse of the world’s unified number one.

Feelings are new. Anyway, this nobleman was still alive. I want to meet you sometime.

Still, in a sense, he was the developer of the game that accompanied me through my wandering days. How about capturing them in moderation and turning them into slaves of the right status?

That’s the best consideration I can give him. It is also an expression of inner intimacy.

Anyway, I’ve roughly checked everything I need to check, so let’s wake up Aram and go into the forest. I unintentionally wasted too much time.

I think everyone should be in the catacombs by now. We can’t just play like this forever.

Above all, Heesun noona and her companions will be waiting for you.

“Aram?”

“Sigh..”

“Are you alright..?”

“Yes. Hehe. Hehe. Where is this fuck. Ugh.. My pussy hurts..”

“What..?”

“Huh? Ah. Ah. This must have been a warehouse…”

A-ram looked distraught, and overall she didn’t look okay at all. It’s like being covered in sweat and semen, and it feels like the taste is slowly returning after a bit.

Even Aram’s legs are shaking and he can’t even straighten his back properly. It seemed difficult to get up.

“Huh. Oh, I think I’m still creeping in. Gee, the vagina has opened up on its own..”

“Ooh. I’ll pick you up right away.”

“Huh.”

I used her tentacles to remove all of her foreign objects from her body and carried her on my back.

Light as a feather

No, it’s really light. Maybe because my strength is ridiculously high, most things just feel light.

“What is this… Ranking?”

“Oh, you’re in your 30th.”

“Huh. I’ll give you a reward as well.”

“What are you giving me?”

“Points and skill reset tickets. Two of these.”

It seemed like nothing.

“So where are you going now?”

“First, exchange your weapons. Let’s go to the forest right away with Heesun noona.”

Ah, before that, I have to deal with Shim Eun-jung’s soul.

‘Cause I can’t put it off forever It is more efficient to take care of everything that can be done while you have come this far.

I asked one of the demon overseers who passed by for the location of the machete spawner. Then, the devil supervisor tells you the underground entrance that was left intact in the collapsed demon castle.

Maybe it’s because all the rubble that was on top was removed, so I was finally able to enter.

“Come to think of it, I heard you are trying to contact other named demons.”

“Huh?”

“No, Aram is Paimon, not you.”

[Ah, that’s…]

Going downstairs, I asked Paimon a question. Apparently, Paimon had previously said that he would call other named demons. However, it is still unreasonable news.

What happened?

[Some devils…Because they were sold before Manguijeon…]

“What? No, damn you are the king. Why don’t the myths listen to you?”

[That’s… If you’re a grand duke, then I’m a little too.]

Wasn’t the king the highest rank? I guess it wasn’t There seemed to be a few cubs who thought of Paimon’s words.

“No, what are the demons doing again? We are clearly stronger. No, and if they are devils, they must come before ten thousand. Why do you go somewhere strange? Why do you keep doing this? Why don’t your demon friends listen?”

[There are two reasons.]

“Are there two reasons? What. Say it.”

[First of all, it seems that everyone noticed.]

“What. No way..”

Paimon answered.

Everyone seems to have noticed that I tried to offer the named devil as a sacrifice for Aram’s reinforcement.

“No, did you notice that?”

[Because it’s a species that has survived so far with a blind eye. Because we know there is a demon slayer. Everyone seems to be sacrificing themselves.]

“Huh. It’s a reasonable choice in their situation.”

As Paimon said, I was thinking of catching all of them and giving them to Aram as food, but it turned out to be a pity. If I caught all of them and gave them to A-ram, wouldn’t A-ram have gained tremendous divinity?

“Then what about the second reason?”

[Those who have a desire to succeed seemed to think that even if they joined here, there would be no merit because I was already holding on.]

“Isn’t there any advantage?”

[Yes. Even if you come in anyway, you have to come under me. And a bounty has also been raised in the community that we use among ourselves.]

“What else is that?”

According to Paimon, a bounty has been placed on our party’s heads.

[Unless they’re really stupid, they won’t touch us right away. The movement is suspicious.]

“I’m fed up.”

It doesn’t matter. Paimon, the best of demons, is my minion. Even if other demons came, they would be worse than one Paimon.

Yeah, it might be better to come out hostile. It is better to attack than to hide. It’s hard to chase after riding on a black hole like a damn cowardly bastard Loki.

“For now, aren’t there any kids who want to join us?”

[There are a few fools.]

“Even those guys are invited. Oh, and can I put this here?”

[Yes. Then you will soon be reborn as a succubus.]

The machete production room in the basement of the demon castle was equipped with unique equipment.

It’s probably going to pull out a lesser demon with this. Since most of the workers were killed by Zeke right away, it seems that he hastily supplemented the manpower with this.

“Oh, it was injected.”

Anyway, I put Shim Eun-jung’s soul, which Paimon had taken out, into the bubbling green liquid.

If left unattended, he will soon be reborn as a succubus. Then you can use it to create Bibal or Avalam.

“It’s almost done, is there a door here that I can stick a key in?”

“Is there a bathroom door over there?”

“Okay? Do demons use bathrooms too?”

[With my own welfare policy…]

There are toilets on each floor in the Devil’s Castle.

Surprised by the unexpected fact, I took out the silver key.

With this you can enter the pawn shop. They say you can only enter every Monday morning.

“What time is it?”

“7 o’clock.”

“Have we been that long?”

“From the middle, you just hit me without thinking.”

“Ah. Was it?”

“It was good though.”

“Huh..”

Anyway, this is just Monday at 7am. Great. You can go right in.

“Hammer?”

“Wait for a sec.”

Aram pulled out an oversized hammer from his large-capacity backpack. Every time I see it, it is an object of amazing size.

“Okay, let’s go in.”

The pawn shop will exchange this weapon for a warped guardian.

It seems that the pawn shop changes the achievement reward.
