Chapter 99 – 99. Racial Change

Before going to the Forest of the Missing, I did a number of things with items I bought on the black market.

For example, bringing a slave to feed Alcid’s larvae. Feeding Screaming Herbs to Heesun noona. It was mainly the disposal of items purchased from poachers.

-Keeeee!!!

– Tung! Tung!

As soon as I took out Alcid’s larvae from the bag, the larvae started a frenzy to get out of the glass bottle with a fucking glow. It seemed that the glass bottle would break or the larva would die first due to the impact. I need to eat it soon before it’s too late.

“Go into that room, open the bottle, and swallow this. Don’t chew, just swallow. Got it? It’s an order.”

If I opened the lid, the Alcid larvae might escape and try to parasitize on me or someone else, so I ordered the slave to go into the closet and eat alone.

“Wait a minute!! Please!! Oh, no!!! Now, I was wrong!! I will work hard!! Please!! Please watch!!”

“No!! Hurry up and eat! I have only you! You are the right person!! Hurry up and eat!!”

I proceeded to order the refusing slave to enter the supply closet, open the lid, and devour Alcid. He screamed that he didn’t want to be saved, but I ignored his shouts and shouted in succession.

“Ugh…!! Did it wrong!! It’s a fuck !!! Why!! Why is it me!! No!! Help me!!! Somebody help me!!! No!! Aww!!!”

At the sound of his screams, the slaves who had been cleaning the mart for a while clicked their tongues and turned their heads. There was no one to help. He is alone

‘I ordered this far and still refuse… He’s got a lot of mental strength. He’s the best person to eat Alcid’s larvae.’

The slave I decided to feed Alcide’s larvae was an ordinary man named Hajun Yoon. He was a non-awakened person rescued from a sports center, and he had a personality that no one would say anything about even if he disappeared from the mart.

Ha Jin-seong also said that he was strangely rebellious and did not do his job properly. Ha Jin-seong, who was entrusted with the management of the slaves by me, diligently made a list of non-awakened people, observed their behavior, and informed me of those in poor condition.

Precisely, the non-Awakened made each other evaluate each other.

Guys with bad evaluations become test subjects or are sacrificed like this. It is a kind of slave self-assessment system. It can be seen as a dystopia in the apocalypse where each other always watches and informs each other.

In any case, Yun Ha-jun hated the other slaves. Everyone judged him to be a bastard. All that remains is death.

However, I couldn’t waste my scarce human resources, so I decided to gift him the blessing of Alcide’s caterpillar. Although Yoon Ha-joon doesn’t seem to like it.

‘Looking at him refusing my orders to this extent, if he was an Awakener, he must have had a very high Will stat.’

Therefore, he is the perfect person to evolve into Al Cid, which deals with psionic energy, which is mental energy. I should give Ha Jin-seong a compliment later. He said he found the right person.

“Now. Stop whining eat it quickly I’m starting to feel the limits of my patience. And climber. Even if I eat this, I won’t look back. Can you be very strong? Or do you just want to be served by me? Do you want to die from being tortured?”

“Huh … Huh … Fuck .. I’ll eat it.

I handed him a glass bottle containing Alcid larvae that screamed and went mad.

They threatened to torture and kill them, so they seemed to think it would be better to eat strange larvae. In the end, Ha-Jun Yoon, who was trying to refuse my order, entered the storage room holding Alcide’s larva tightly in his arms.

“Yeah, how nice it would be if you told me to eat comfortably. And if you eat this, you can become strong. Then I’ll treat you like an executive, too? Did you see Jinseong forgetting to drink wine with his younger brother? You eat this and get stronger, so have a drink with them.”

“Fuck.. Fuck.. Fucking dog… Die.. Die..”

When I gave words of encouragement to Yoon Ha-jun, who went inside, he cursed at me until right before the door closed. Even thinking about it, if I had to swallow such a crazy caterpillar alive, I would be quite dizzy, so I silently listened to his curse.

Even if you’re like me, if you’re ordered to swallow a fucking alien creature like that, I think all kinds of curses will come out.

Soon the door to the warehouse was completely closed. I wondered if he was eating properly, so I put my ear to the door and overheard.

– Ugh.. Fuck.. Start.. Why doesn’t it open like this..

– Pong!

-Keeeee!!!

– Aaaaa!!! Get out of here!! OMG!!! Aww!! It hurts!!! Don’t bite you bastard!!

– Clink!!

-Keyeeeee!!!!!

-Fuck!!! I can’t!! How do you eat this!!!

– Bang bang!!

-Help me!!! Please open this door!!

“No.”

– Aaaaa!!!

I held on to the doorknob to keep the door from opening. Soon after, the sound of his screaming echoed. Then the sound gradually quieted down.

-Kiik…

After a while, I opened the door to the storage room.

“Hey. Hey. Hajun Yoon. Hey.”

“Ah… Uhh… Uhhh. Ahhh..”

Ha-jun Yoon is squatting in a corner of a dark fixture warehouse.

I activated my deformed vision and pierced the darkness as I approached him. Yoon Ha-jun muttered only broken words. His words made no sense. He was twitching like a broken robot.

“Hey.. Ugh.. Fuck..”

I was curious about why he was doing this, so I grabbed Yoon Ha-joon’s shoulders and turned him around. At the same time, a disgusting rotten smell came out.

“Are you turning into Alcid…”

There was no tongue in his gaping mouth. His upper body was soaked with blood dripping from his mouth and down his chin. Even Alcide’s tail was wriggling where the tongue should be, which was very disgusting.

And Yoon Ha-jun’s face was inflated like a balloon. A yellow liquid was dripping from his nose and ears. Something is pouring out like brain water. That seemed to be what caused the rotten smell. It’s disgusting to look at with both eyes open.

It seems that the alcid larva is eating Hajun Yoon’s mouth, gnawing off his tongue, and then eating his brain…

“Uhhhhh…”

“Huh.. What the hell…”

I left him alone in the storage room. Then he ordered the other Awoken slaves to closely monitor whether or not he was behaving abnormally. It’s because I can’t go crazy and run amok. When I went back a few hours later, he had changed quite a bit.

All the hair on his body, including his hair, fell out, and long antennae like jet-black wheels grew on his forehead. Also, all the teeth were lost in the snout, and the mouth was changed to look like an insect’s mouth. Also, the pupils were changed to the compound eyes of an insect like the eyes of a dragonfly, so it was difficult to figure out where he was looking. It’s pretty creepy and terrifying looking.

I felt like I was watching a fusion of a fly and a human from an old movie, so I was disgusted.

“Kissy… Kishi shishi.”

“Hey. Hajun Yoon. Do you understand me?”

“Kish. Understand I’m fine Follow orders, master. The owner is nice…”

Yoon Ha-jun bowed his head at me. There was no word that his slavery had been erased. However, something bothered me, so I grabbed his body with tentacles.

Then, he began to rebel by radiating a mental wave that meant to let go of it right away.

Slaves who were working nearby sat down or collapsed holding their heads as a group due to the emanating mental waves.

As expected, this guy wasn’t Yoon Ha-jun. It was an Alcid semi-form that settled in Ha-jun Yoon’s body. Or maybe Hajun Yoon and Alcide merged and became something different. Anyway, this bastard wasn’t my slave.

“Kiaaa!!!! Listen to me!!! Master!!! Likes!! Please let me go!!”

“Shut up!!”

A crazy monster who confesses his love to me, perhaps because of Manma’s favor. It looked like tona would come.

Still, the psionic energy was weak, as if the creature hadn’t matured yet. I assaulted the guy I caught with my tentacles several times and threatened to kill him if he didn’t give in.

Even so, I did not give in, and in the end I even pulled out my ceremonial dagger and hacked his body to pieces. In the meantime, I figured out that under the skin of the creature had turned into a carapaceous exoskeleton. It seemed that the inside of his body had already turned into Alcide.

‘It’s terrible…’

[The opponent has succumbed to you.]

I put a slave brand on his forehead again. We can’t just leave this dangerous guy alone.

[The player ‘Hajun Yoon (Alcid Infected)’ has been enslaved.]

That guy was Yoon Ha-jun. However, it seemed that the slave label was in error because Yun Ha-jun and Alcid larvae were fused. Hajun Yoon, but it seems that he was treated as a separate creature.

“Kishishit…”

I freed Alcid Yun Ha-joon, who bowed his head.

“Do you lay eggs or reproduce?”

“Kishishi… Alone… When spawning season… Lays eggs in the water. 3 to 2 at a time..”

“Always report when you give birth to a larva. I won’t let you go if you just buy it cheap.”

“Okay… I absolutely obey my master.”

“What are stocks?”

“Lean meat.. Rotten things.. Fresh things.. Without distinction… I eat lean meat.”

“There are zombies outside, so pick them up and eat them.”

“Okay… I will. I will follow you unconditionally. Don’t throw it away Servant of ten thousand horses…”

It was hard for me to look at his disgusting face, so I put the Kamen Rider mask from the toy section over his face. The protruding antennae bothered me a lot, but it was still much better than seeing my bare face.

‘Next…’

Now that the Alcid larvae have been solved, it is time to feed the Screaming Herb to Heesun noona.

I want to increase her magical power before entering the forest of the missing. Moreover, Heesun noona’s magic power was already quite high, and her magic stat had already reached 80. Here, if she feeds her screaming seconds, it will increase by 50 more, so her achievement will be achieved in commemoration of her magic stat exceeding 100.

“Hee-seon sister. Let’s take our medicine.”

“Huh? Approximately? Birth control pills?”

“No, I ate that.”

I called Heesun noona aside. During the day, everyone is busy doing their own thing, so it’s just me and Heesun noona here.

“My sister bought this from the black market… It’s called Screaming Herb.”

“Yeah.. Juna. Are you giving me this? Isn’t Jun eating?”

“Uh. Because we have to go to the forest together. Let’s take care of ourselves with this and go. And since there’s only one of these, noona has to eat it by herself. Got it? It’s a secret from the other kids.”

“Yeah.. But can Juni not eat?”

“I pick up and eat a lot, so it’s okay. And they say the effect is better if sister eats this.”

“Yeah.. Thank you..!”

Heesun noona hugged me with her very moved face.

Up until this point, I had only provided something for the combatants. It was unfamiliar to me to take care of Heesun noona’s items. If she knew that she would like her like this, she would have taken better care of her than usual. Heesun noona is the type who doesn’t express her feelings even if she’s envious, so I guess I was a bit insensitive.

“Come on, get your hair done here…”

I lightly laid the screaming herb on the cutting board and then cut its throat with a kitchen knife.

– Kwajik!

“Kiki profit…”

With the sound of the wind blowing, the screaming plant began to die. Even if you cut off her head, it didn’t die right away, probably because it was a plant. And this guy is effective if you eat it before it dies completely.

“Come on, sister, eat quickly!”

“Yes!!”

My older sister Heesun stared disgustingly at her struggling Screaming Herb, then when I told her to eat it quickly, she nodded her head and chewed and swallowed the still not completely dead Screaming Candle alive.

“Ugh… Write it..”

“Sister, candy here.”

“Yeah.. But I’m going to write it.. I’m going to write it.”

It looked very bitter. Hee-seon noona’s expression was so funny and cute that I patted her head. No matter what she did, she chewed it all up and swallowed it, so her magic stats will rise soon.

The change started about 5 minutes after Heesun noona chewed and ate the Screaming Herb.

[Slave Kang Hee-seon’s Achievement Accomplished! ‘Mana User’]
[Slave Kang Hee-seon’s Achievement Accomplished! ‘Apprentice Forest Keeper’]
[Select an achievement reward.]
[Select an achievement reward.]

“Uh…? Joo, Juna… My body is strange.. It’s hot..”

Her magic stat went up. At the same time, as her achievements were accomplished, Heesun noona’s appearance began to change.

“Ears, ears..!”

Her ears grow She also became more defined and beautiful as if she had had plastic surgery. Previously, she was the owner of a soft beauty with a warm feeling. Now it’s just pretty… I can’t believe this…

She became a forest keeper… That is, a forest fairy.
