But Cale couldn't keep smiling.
"Khh!"
Count Lupeh's groan of pain grew louder.
Cale, who was helping him up, quickly turned his gaze toward him.
"Are you alright?"
"Khh, the worst of all..."
Lupeh grabbed the hem of Cale's clothes.
The moment Cale met his eyes filled with confusion, he could see how Lupeh's gaze changed in an instant.
The emotion that welled up from the depths of his eyes was a fury as clear as day.
"D, demons..."
What?
Cale brought his ear closer to hear those words better.
"Not just demons...!"
With those words...
"Lupeh!"
"Count!"
Count Lupeh fainted.
[*He will fall into a coma until he regains his memories.*]
Cale frowned as he saw the new words that appeared on the mission screen.
"Suddenly this...?"
"He will be in this state until he recovers his memories."
"Huh?"
Cale told Aurora, who was confused, about the mission he had received.
"Ah..."
Aurora wasn't familiar with the game's system yet, so she didn't understand it right away, but she got the important points.
"It seems a rather important mission has been generated."
"Yes, it is."
㈜Transparent.
A great weapon that could shake that place from outside the game.
The King of Boredom.
They had found a way to obtain the dagger that could bring him down.
"...But..."
Aurora's expression changed.
She became more serious than before.
"Earlier, Count Lupeh said, 'Not just demons.' That..."
Cale calmly told Aurora, who couldn't continue her words.
"Means there are other creatures that participated in the experiment besides the demons."
Count Lupeh seemed to be in a state of confusion, going back and forth between the memories of the game and reality.
When he, who was clearly recalling fragments of memories from reality, told Cale...
'The worst of all', considering that the Dark Demon Lupeh was giving him information that would be beneficial to his boss, Cale.
"Hm."
One could see that Aurora was deeply worried.
"For now."
Cale's voice reached her ears, and Aurora looked at him with doubt.
"Shouldn't we move Count Lupeh?"
"Yes?"
Aurora, who was questioning Cale's words.
"..."
And Cale stared at her with an expression of astonishment.
"Ah!"
Aurora quickly found the answer.
The answer was in Cale's expression, which seemed to be weak.
"Where should we move him?"
"Follow me."
Aurora picked up Count Lupeh, and Cale went ahead to guide them.
It was an excellent distribution of roles, and at the end of that distribution of roles, Cale was able to leave Count Lupeh on the bed and talk to Aurora with a table between them.
"It seems the King of Boredom is looking for 'Arm'."
Oh.
Cale's expression brightened as he heard Aurora's words.
Demon World.
When he went there, Cale planted a bomb in the Demon World, a secret force of the God of Chaos called 'Arm'.
It seems the fruits of that have made the Demon King interested in 'Arm'.
"It will be easier to incite discord between the God of Chaos and the Demon King."
"Haha, yes."
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Aurora and Cale laughed together with quite similar expressions.
"..."
Count Lupeh was unconscious next to them.
Cale, who glanced at him, stopped smiling.
"How is Choi Jung Gun?"
Choi Jung Gun.
A Wanderer and the ancestor of Choi Han and Choi Jung Soo.
Due to chaos contamination, his body is now covered in gray.
He didn't have much time left.
"He's the same."
Aurora's expression hardened as well.
But it wasn't necessarily bad.
Choi Jung Gun was being protected by a magic formation that was slowing down the progress of the contamination.
If he left that magic formation, he would die in a week, even being a Loner.
"At least that's good."
Cale looked into the void for a moment, organizing his thoughts.
'For now, the things I need to do are...'
1. 'The Birth of Evil' of Eden Miru.
2. Go to the Sanctuary of the God of Chaos, 'The Primordial Night'.
'While going to the sanctuary, I must also deactivate the chaos terror ability that is sealed there.'
Find a saint or someone similar who can use the power of chaos to obtain a way to purify Choi Jung Gun.
'I must also steal a sacred object from the Sanctuary of the God of Chaos to restore the strength of our blue wolf.'
The God of the Beast People, the blue wolf. He also plans to steal a sacred object for him in the sanctuary.
That is, Cale...
'I'm going to destroy it.'
He plans to destroy the Sanctuary of the God of Chaos in the Demon Kingdom, to the point of turning it to ashes.
By doing so, he will finally cause great damage to the God of Chaos's force in this 'RMPAG' game.
'How many benefits are these?'
A single event will give him at least 4 benefits.
'And there's one more thing I need to do.'
3. Recover Count Lupeh's memories.
This event will also give him at least 3 benefits.
'Hit ㈜Transparent, hit the Demon King, and get Count Lupeh, the richest man in the Demon World.'
In particular, the benefits Cale would get in the third world could be enormous.
"...Could I... take over a multinational company?"
Hearing Cale's murmur, Aurora frowned in confusion.
The only entity that could react to his words at this moment was...
- Hhh, hhh!
- Hey, Fire of Destruction! What's wrong with you?
- Hhh, hhh, a multinational company... a multinational billionaire... a lot of gold! Transnational gold... hhh, hhh!
The Cheapskate was currently suffering a severe mental impact and could barely control himself.
"Hhh..."
Cale just chuckled softly.
"Hm."
Aurora let out a sound, but Cale didn't pay attention to her.
'And...'
Instead, he thought about the things he should do next.
Or more precisely, the ultimate goal he should achieve.
'Ultimately, the conclusion of all this is one thing.'
The Absolute God.
Stop the God who will be born in this New World of the 'RMPAG' game.
And bring down the Hunters.
'If I achieve that, there will be no danger anymore.'
Nameless World 1, where Cale lives.
The factors that threaten that place will disappear.
'I will return to the Roan Kingdom to rest, and when I have free time, I will try to farm in the garden.'
Hm.
It's a very good plan.
"Definitely..."
"Huh?"
When Aurora reacted again to the low murmur.
With a smile.
Cale smiled kindly and said:
"I will definitely achieve my goal."
"Ah..."
Aurora nodded her head, with an awkward smile.
'What is he planning to destroy?'
Seeing Cale's sinister smile, she felt as if she had seen an aspect of a secret room that she shouldn't have opened.
She did her best to avoid looking at Cale's face.
Cale, who was watching her, continued to smile and thought:
'Yes, I won't worry about anything else after that.'
The God of Chaos, the Divine World, the Demon World, the Heavenly World.
That didn't matter to Cale.
He didn't care if they fought each other.
Cale only cared that his home and the people around him were safe.
"Hm. What do you think you'll do from now on?"
At Aurora's cautious question, Cale looked at the door.
"I need to go out for a while."
The third world.
It seems he should go there after a long time.
[Hatching rate 96.91% (remaining time: 3 days 20 hours 7 minutes)]
[Birth ceremony progress 50%]
[Reward rank not yet determined]
I must make good use of the time remaining until the birth of Eden Miru.
At that moment...
"But is it alright for Count Lupeh to leave like this?"
Hm?
"Is it alright for his condition to be known?"
Cale looked at the unconscious Count Lupeh, who was in a state of unconsciousness, at Aurora's question.
This guy's body...
***
"So, you want me to put on the mask and act like him?"
"Yes. I'll solve everything before Eden Miru is born, so it won't be for long."
Cale confidently requested.
"I'll leave the end of the tutorial to the other bosses of the 3rd Evil. You, just in case, go to the 3rd Evil and act like 'Lupeh' if necessary. It's not difficult at all, just think of it as a break. Our little bear will take care of the troublesome matters."
Of course, he added a long explanation. The Heavenly Demon smiled ironically.
"You want me to wear a mask, to act like someone..."
His tone as he murmured didn't seem very good.
'Hm.'
That's why, despite his confidence, Cale was a little scared.
"Yes, I will."
However, the Heavenly Demon accepted his request more easily than he expected.
For Cale, there was no one more suitable for this job than the Heavenly Demon.
'Because he's the one with the most free time.'
At that moment, the Heavenly Demon asked in a low voice:
"Are you thinking of dominating the 8 evils?"
"Hm. More than dominating, I'm thinking of making everyone cooperate."
At Cale's words, which were the same, the Heavenly Demon smiled slightly.
He, who had noticeably increased his expressions, informed Cale.
"I'm going to make one of the 8 evils into a branch of the Demon Cult. Excluding the 3rd and the 7th that you chose."
"Huh?"
"So keep that in mind."
After saying that, the Heavenly Demon turned his back on Cale and left.
Cale, who was stunned, murmured softly as he watched him walk away.
"...What luck."
If it's a branch of the Demon Cult, it's my ally!
Since the Heavenly Demon said he would take care of everything, Cale had no reason to refuse.
Cale shouted loudly at the Heavenly Demon, who was walking away.
"The 1st Evil is related to the Wanderers! Exclude it!"
The Heavenly Demon raised his hand.
At his elegant gesture, Cale sent him words of encouragement.
"Good luck! Not just one, but two, or even all of them!"
The Heavenly Demon's hand went down.
For some reason, he felt a little irritation in the Heavenly Demon's back.
Cale didn't pay attention to it and called Alberu and Rosalyn.
***
Cale sank into the sofa as he turned on his tablet.
"Are you going to visit the house of Honorary President Han Taek-su's secretary?"
Choi Seon Hee, the president of ㈜Sun, swallowed.
"To be precise, the chief of staff."
Honorary President Han Taek-su of ㈜Transparent.
How many secretaries does he have under his command?
Cale was aiming for the chief of staff, Han Taek-su's trusted man.
Kang Geun-mok, the chief of staff who has been serving him for 50 years.
"Isn't he a Hunter?"
"No. He's from the third world."
Interestingly, Kang Geun-mok is not a Hunter.
"Oh."
Han Taek-su, the honorary president, who might not be human.
The corner of Cale's mouth curled upwards.
"I must meet Kang Geun-mok."
"His loyalty is famous. Do you think he, who is so loyal, will reveal the password to the lab?"
At Choi Seon Hee's cautious question, Cale smiled.
"Well, we'll know when we try."
Gulp.
Choi Seon Hee swallowed involuntarily.
"...You're not going to kidnap the chief of staff, are you?"
At those words, Cale's gaze changed.
"Kidnap! We don't do those things!"
Cale vehemently denied it.
"..."
"..."
And Alberu and Rosalyn simply smiled as they obtained information about Chief of Staff Kang Geun-mok on their tablets.
At that moment....
On the top floor of the Sun building, where the four were.
"Breaking news!"
Breaking news appeared on the television screen that they had left on.
Cale, who had received information beforehand and was waiting for the news on purpose, turned his gaze sideways to the television announcer.
The announcer said in a clear tone.
"Honorary President Han Taek-su has officially announced that he will run in the upcoming presidential election!"
Although most people already knew, the 'official announcement' was different.
"Let's watch Honorary President Han Taek-su's press conference!"
The moment the announcer finished speaking and the television screen was going to switch to the press conference room.
Cale and his companions also turned their gaze to the television.
Han Taek-su.
They were curious to know what he would say, and they were also curious to see the face of the chief of staff who would be near him.
"Ah!"
At that moment, the announcer let out a surprised cry, something unusual.
The television screen didn't switch to the press conference room.
"N, breaking news!"
The announcer swallowed the words slightly, and then continued in a calm tone, but with an expression in which he couldn't hide his surprise.
"The chief advisor to President Ahn Roh Man, Mary..."
The announcer couldn't continue for a moment, and then closed his eyes and continued speaking.
"They say she has been named a murder suspect!"
Ahn Roh Man, the incumbent president.
Mary, his partner in all his steps and also a talented person.
Suddenly, she was named a murder suspect.
"...What's going on suddenly?"
Alberu opened his mouth.
"Isn't it something ㈜Transparent did?"
"Yes, it's obvious."
Rosalyn said indifferently.
"Numerous skeletal remains have been found on the grounds of a closed elementary school! It is said that the skeletal remains have a strange shape, and Chief Advisor Mary is suspected to be behind it!"
As the announcer continued to speak, Rosalyn continued.
"Wasn't Ahn Roh Man's side investigating the corruption and human experiments of ㈜Transparent? It seems the chief advisor has taken the brunt of the investigation."
"It seems so."
Alberu agreed with her words.
"If the chief advisor ends up like this, Ahn Roh Man will have a lot of problems."
He spoke seriously to Cale.
"First, let's catch Kang Geun-mok."
Cale's gaze remained fixed on the television.
"For now, we'll inform you as soon as there's more news. Now, we'll connect to the press conference room to hear Honorary President Han Taek-su's speech!"
The announcer's voice, which was now calmer, ended, and Honorary President Han Taek-su appeared on the screen.
"Dear citizens..."
Honorary President Han Taek-su, who looked to be in his 70s.
Cale's gaze passed over him and went to a person who was slightly covered at the edge of the screen.
Han Taek-su, who was receiving all the attention. The only person who could be behind him and appear on the television screen.
Someone whom Han Taek-su cherished greatly and kept close, more than a chief of staff.
Chief of Staff Kang Geun-mok.
Cale carefully observed the man with a cold and stubborn expression, like a dry tree.
"Let's move."
***
The new moon, where not even the moon was visible.
A night when people couldn't sleep because of the stories of Han Taek-su and Ahn Roh Man.
Ding.
Kang Geun-mok, who had returned home for a moment, opened the front door.
The house, which was protected by all kinds of magic, was a safe place for Kang Geun-mok, like a fortress.
And he took a step.
"!"
But he stopped without taking the next step.
He looked at the living room, which was shrouded in darkness, and spoke.
"Who's there?"
At that moment...
"!"
He flinched and tried to turn his head.
But before that...
"Why are you so late?"
Someone's voice was heard beside him.
"I thought I wouldn't see you today."
A voice with a smile reached Kang Geun-mok's ears, and he felt a hand grab his neck.
"Let's talk a little."
Cale, who was about to speak, grabbed his neck.
