"Greetings, Master Sideras."
"I will tell you what the situation is right now. We are in a hurry, so I will keep it brief."
"Yes."
I explained the situation to him.
"I understand. Then I will annihilate the enemies before us."
"Mm, Mountain."
At my call, Mountain flew over. I held Mountain in one hand and the pickaxe in the other.
[You have used the skill [Dwarven Blunt Weapon Technique].]
Bang
Crunch
Thud
I smashed one enemy’s head with Mountain and drove the pickaxe into the head of another behind him. As for the one targeting my back, Sideras knocked him away with a punch. Five hours passed like that.
[Servant ‘Sideras’ has reached Level 5.]
Sideras leveled up, and the monsters stopped pouring in.
[You have survived the Monster Wave!]
[You have cleared the Main Scenario.]
You have been awarded 1,000 Coins.
"Phew..."
"Congratulations on surviving, Master."
"Right. I’m sorry for making you do something like this when you haven’t even been alive for long."
"Not at all. Rather, it was a good opportunity for me to grow stronger."
I approached the stairway to the second floor. There were people gathered there, but the stairs had been destroyed. Then someone looked at Sideras and me and shouted.
"Everyone, look! He’s here!!"
"????"
People suddenly began approaching me.
"Thank you so much. We were able to survive because of you."
"If you hadn’t slaughtered the monsters at the front, things would have been truly disastrous."
"Hey, big guy."
One person came up to me then.
"...Thanks for helping us."
It was Gong Pildu, the man everyone had been talking about. I gave a rough nod and walked toward the stairs as I spoke.
"Come in order. This guy and I will get you up there."
As I said that, I effortlessly picked up a woman standing nearby and, after asking for her understanding, called out to Lee Hyunsung, Kim Namwoon, and Yoo Sangah.
"Everyone, catch these people for me."
"What? Ah, okay!"
"Yeah..."
"Got it!"
After getting everyone up, I used Mountain to climb up myself. Then I sent Mountain back down to Sideras and said,
"You come up too."
"Yes."
Sideras grabbed Mountain and climbed up.
"Is this what you’ve been making for so long?"
"It’s bigger than I expected."
The group was looking at Sideras and talking when—
"...Bear Mister, did you enjoy that earlier?"
"...What are you talking about?"
"...Heh."
Thud, thud, thud, thud
Kim Namwoon said that as she began repeatedly punching my side.
"...You’re not, are you?"
"Huh? Not what?"
‘...I’m scared.’
[The Constellation "Blacksmith of the Volcano" says that I have gotten on the wrong side of a woman.]
[The Constellation "Abyssal Black Flame Dragon" says there is something wrong with his incarnation’s eyes.]
[The Constellation "Secretive Plotter" asks whether that is your kind of preference.]
[The Constellation "Demon-like Judge of Fire" looks at your face and giggles.]
‘So constellations are no different. And that Demon-like Judge of Fire seems kind of dumb too.’
[The Constellation "Demon-like Judge of Fire" sponsors you with a bucket of water.]
A bucketful of water came crashing down over my head.
"?????"
[The Constellation "Demon-like Judge of Fire" says that, seeing you, they think they just had an extremely rude thought.]
I quietly turned my head. Then I looked down. Kim Namwoon was still punching my side.
"That hurts. Stop it already."
"Tch. Just this once."
[The Constellation "Mass-Production Maker" asks how long you have been dating.]
"We aren’t dating."
[The Constellation "Prisoner of the Golden Headband" tells you not to lie and asks how many women you have made cry with that face.]
"I’m a virgin who has never dated anyone."
[Numerous Constellations say not to lie, claiming it makes no sense for someone with that face to be a virgin who has never dated.]
"It’s true. I went to an all-boys middle school, an industrial high school, served in the military, and graduated from an engineering college."
[The Constellation "Sea God of War" says you are wasting that face.]
"And who are you?"
[The Constellation "Sea God of War" says that it makes sense you would not know, and explains.]
I was listening to the others talking when—
"Everyone, we’re back!"
The group returned. At the same time, they stared tensely at one spot. I turned my head toward where they were looking. Sideras was standing there. I calmed everyone down and explained the situation. Then the woman who had introduced herself as Jung Heewon spoke.
"So you’re saying Cheolung made the robot behind you?"
"Mm."
"That’s far more amazing than I expected."
Just then, a scenario appeared, and Yoo Joonghyuk woke up at the same time.
[Sub Scenario—Selection of a Representative]
Category: Sub
Difficulty: C
Clear Condition: Claim the ‘White Flag’ at the center of the platform.
Time Limit: 30 minutes
Reward: 1,000 Coins
Failure: ——
The representative of this station may exercise powerful authority over their members.
A white flag appeared at the center of the station, and Gong Pildu shoved through the crowd to move forward. Then Kim Dokja issued an order to Gong Pildu.
"Gong Pildu, get down!"
"Urk!"
When I looked confused, Yoo Joonghyuk explained.
"Kim Dokja made a contract with Gong Pildu’s sponsoring constellation and obtained authority to command Gong Pildu."
"Mm, but are you sure you don’t want to claim that flag yourself?"
"I don’t need to. I can just take another station’s flag anyway."
"I see. Then come see me when you need weapons or equipment checked. I’ll make them for you."
"Understood. What is the price?"
"The price... There isn’t one, really. If you have any high-quality materials, bring them to me."
"Understood."
With that, Yoo Joonghyuk left.
"Huh? Mister, where’s my master?"
"She left."
"What? She left me behind?"
Nod
Then a system message appeared.
[‘Kim Dokja’ has pulled out the White Flag.]
Kim Dokja has become the ‘Representative’ of Chungmuro Station.
‘Kim Dokja’ has gained the qualification for the ‘King’s Path.’
‘Kim Dokja’ has claimed the White Flag.
If the owner of the White Flag does not change for the next five minutes, Chungmuro Station will fall under his control.
If the flag is taken, its owner changes and the five-minute timer resets.
Gong Pildu’s face turned pale when he saw the message.
"What are you doing?! Take that flag from him right now!!!"
At his words, Gong Pildu’s subordinates charged at Kim Dokja. Seeing that, I gave Sideras an order.
"Stop them."
"Yes."
Before my words had even finished, Sideras blocked their path. Five minutes passed.
[The time limit for the Sub Scenario has elapsed.]
The Sub Scenario has ended.
You have been awarded 1,000 Coins.
‘Kim Dokja’ has become the ‘Representative’ of Chungmuro Station.
The representative, Kim Dokja, has gained control over the Chungmuro group.
Kim Dokja’s current group: 54 people.
Kim Dokja became the representative, and a new system window appeared.
