## Chapter 1658 – Chronicles of the Black-Haired Foreigner – Celestial Demon Constellation

Of course, there’s no way a guy like that could do anything to me.

“Haaaap!”

As the guy pulled his arms back, ready to swing his holy sword and charge, I approached him and flicked him on the forehead.

—Thwack!

“Kwah?!”

He spurted blood from both nostrils and flew backward.

—Thud.

The guy crashed into the ground. He seemed pretty strong, but he passed out from just one flick.

“Hehehe, you pathetic bastard.”

It seemed like the guys in this world were so used to the concept of status windows that they’d lost the ability to gauge the difference in strength between themselves and their opponents.

There was at least a 50cm height difference between these guys and me, but they weren’t intimidated at all. Just because I didn’t have a status window. In the end, they’d forgotten their natural instincts because they had too many convenient tools.

Anyway.

—…

The surroundings went silent the moment I knocked him away.

“W-What just happened…?”
“A skill. Did he use a skill?”
“No way. I’ve never seen a skill like that.”
“W-What is it? What is that guy?”

The silence was brief. Soon, the onlookers started murmuring. Of course. A guy who was supposedly super strong got taken down in an instant, from their perspective. If they saw it with their own eyes, they’d be shocked.

“Even so, how could such an incompetent person…”
“What kind of technique does he have?”
“How is that even possible?”

Whatever.

I’d crushed a strong guy with my bare hands.

That should be enough to attract attention. The evil gods of this world up there would be interested in me, too.

I’d heard that if you showed some promise, they might give you a special quest, so they couldn’t help but be interested.

“Hey guys. Aren’t you going to give me a quest?”

I thought it was about time they gave me a quest or something… Ah. Is it because I don’t have a status window?

“Too bad.”

Of course, I couldn’t accept a status window.

I didn’t want them sticking something like that into my body, and if they did, my identity might be exposed to them.

Still, I’m the boss. They’ll probably contact me first. Then I’ll have to take advantage of that.

—Click.
—Click.
—Click.

Soon, people started taking pictures of me. It would be nice to have one of those devices.

“How could you do that…! Who are you!”

Then the comedienne who had been hitting on me shouted at the staff. She’d been cowering until the blonde guy who got his ass kicked by me showed up, so she must have been pretty surprised.

“You want to get hit too?”
“What the hell are you doing!”
“Curious? Give me a device, and I’ll give you my number.”
“W-What?”

When I said that.

“U-Uhehe.”

Suddenly, her face turned red.

“Hehe. You’re finally interested? Well, fine. Here.”

She came up to me, clicking her heels, and handed me the device. She was angry when I rejected her, but she seemed happy that I was showing interest.

As expected, Kim Kat is a being who can make women cry and laugh with his mere existence.

“Good choice. Let me introduce myself again. I’m Alkina of the Magicians. Look up how famous I am.”
“Is that so?”

I took the device, humoring her as she got excited and shouted.

It looked similar to a smartphone.

“You. You have a lot of secrets. Seeing you take down Heidegger so easily… you seem stronger than I thought.”

I touched it, and sure enough.

The usage was similar, so I had no problem operating it. Okay, I’d already absorbed the language, so I could use it.

“I apologize for looking down on you as an incompetent. And as an apology, I’d like to treat you to something. Are you free? Want to see me tonight?”

There’s no way I, a modern person, couldn’t handle something like this. I figured out how to use it in a few seconds.

“Consider it an honor. The only people who can receive my hospitality are… Huh? Hey, you? How long are you going to keep typing your number?”

—Swish.

I immediately put the device in my pocket.

“H-Huh?”
“I’ll gratefully accept this.”
“What? Wait!”
“Celestial Demon Art, Celestial Demon Swift Steps.”

—Swoosh.

And I quickly left the scene.

“M-My device! Hey! Where are you going! Ah, damn it! What the hell!”

A voice full of anger echoed from behind. Of course, no one could catch up to me.

“Hehehe.”

Ah, damn it, this is so funny.

“Bitch. I went easy on you because you reminded me of Winia.”

I couldn’t be mean to a sassy female magician!

* * *

I was tired of playing with weaklings.

I went into a place that looked like an inn, paid with the money I had brought, and lay down on the bed.

Then I operated Alkina’s device.

“Ooh.”

It really was just like a smartphone. It had a system similar to the internet. So I checked it out, and sure enough.

There was a lot of information.

Information about the tower, of course, as well as information about the rankers. Information about the floors that each guild had cleared, and… monster waves? I guess monsters come out if the tower’s completion rate is too low.

Areas where monster waves had occurred, etc.

“It’s extensive.”

When I looked into it, there were a lot of interesting things in this world. Certainly. It was different from the dimension where the Taoists lived. Was it because the civilization was more advanced?

Anyway, along with that information.

“Hehehe.”

There was a lot of information about this Celestial Demon Kim Kat.

[Mysterious Incompetent]
[Alkina Gets Dumped]
[Heidegger Gets Destroyed]
[Dark Fighters Members Get Wrecked]

The kids had taken so many pictures that every post had my picture on it. The reactions were all surprised, unbelievable, and stuff like that.

“I’m definitely attracting attention.”

It seemed like the rankers and influential figures in the guilds were also paying attention. I hoped the evil gods would contact me soon with this momentum. Either way, it was only a matter of time.

—Whoosh.

After checking that much, I opened a gate to go home.

I had to let them know what was going on.

* * *

And so.

After that day, I stayed in this status window dimension and climbed the tower one floor at a time.

It was just a repetition of clearing and climbing, clearing and climbing, like clearing a game.

It was interesting that there were unique maps and game boards with various rules, but it was more fun to beat up the little shits.

They seemed to appear every time I went up a floor.

Anyway.

The monsters that appeared all had different appearances, but their fundamental energy was the same. Beyond the expectation that they were all beings from the same dimension, I even thought that they might be a single being.

As I was climbing the tower at such a high speed.

Finally, the kids took the bait.

—Whoosh.

“Oh.”

A clear gate appeared, but surprisingly, it wasn’t a plaza but a gate connected to another place. What did that mean? These guys had invited me. To a place where it was easier to talk.

—Swish.

So I went right in.

I wondered who it would be.
The guy who contacted me first without any fear.

—Whoosh.

Anyway, when I went in, another world unfolded.

“What is this?”

It wasn’t an ordinary place.

It was like a theater. And it was a ridiculously fancy theater that showed performances to nobles and royalty.

“Look at the design.”

It was incredibly fancy, but it wasn’t dazzling. Rather, it was a space that seemed gloomy and dark.

—Rustle.

The gate closed as soon as I entered.

And.

—Ba-da-dum.

The surroundings darkened, and a spotlight shone on the stage of the theater. What the hell was this guy? Was he really an evil god? I didn’t know he would do something like this.

“Kihhihihihihihi!”

Suddenly, laughter erupted from the stage. A mysterious clown had appeared!

“Welcome! Tall, muscular, incompetent pig!”
“What the hell are you talking about?”
“Oh my, oh my! Don’t get angry! I’m just saying it as it is!”

—Kihhihihihi!
—Kihhihihihi!
—Kihhihihihi!

Clowns appeared from all directions and laughed hysterically.

“What the hell are these retards?”

Damn it, this is so absurd.
This is a god?

“Well, let’s get to the introductions.”
“Who are you?”
“Of course you’re curious!”

—Bang!

The clown on the stage did a handstand and pointed at me with one arm, then used the strength of his fingers to turn backward.

—Squeak.

The guy who was standing backward turned his head 180 degrees to look at me.

“As for me…!”
“A god?”
“Not a god! A servant who serves him! Or something like that!”

Damn it…!

I can’t stand the way he talks!

But I can’t use violence when I’ve finally gotten a chance! That guy clearly isn’t human. That means he’s a messenger of God or something, and if I beat him up recklessly, I’ll only make him more wary.

“Anyway, I’m Maharun, the clown who serves him!”
“O-Okay. Mr. Maharun.”
“What’s your name? I’m curious about you too!”
“I’m Imhotep.”
“Imhotep…!”

—Flash.

Suddenly, the guy shot a beam at me.

The beam soon transformed into a contract.

“Kihhihit! I want to know you better! So let’s make a contract! A secret friend contract!”
“What kind of contract?”
“If you sign the contract, you’ll gain even greater power!”
“Is it the power that your god gives?”
“Blasphemy! How tough! Of course, I don’t care.”
“That way of talking, damn it.”

Someone save me, damn it!

I want to kill him right now!

“It’s not an unfair contract! There are no obligations and only benefits! The only reason the conditions are so generous is!”

My hand!!!

“Not only him… but everyone else! They’re all interested in you! I can’t believe it! An incompetent who monopolizes attention! As a clown, I’m so jealous that I want to die! Kihhihihit!”
“U-Ugh…!”

My foot!!!

“So please sign the contract. And remember that we were the first to reach out to you!”
“H-Hey, clown?”
“Yes?”
“There’s a lot I’m curious about.”

—Swish.

I got up from my seat.

“Come here for a second.”
“Kihhihit. Do you want to test my strength? You’ll regret it?”

Ah, please!
