I’ll Be Taking A Break For Personal Reasons - Chapter 178
-There is only one thing we want from you! The death of a worm that dared to blaspheme!
The hippopotamus-like monster ‘Kangshik and the Beast of Deception’ revealed its ugly shark-like teeth.
-Kreur! Yes! Bring back that young god who dared to steal my sacrifice! I have to eat even a drop of his flesh and blood to clear my mind!
Kurleung! Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
The sky split and the earth shook violently at their cries.
Horrible monsters that cause natural disasters with just their voices.
“Don’t order me!”
At that time, a huge voice that would not be far behind them rang out like thunder.
“I am not your subordinate! Do not forget that we are allies intertwined according to our needs!”
The owner of the voice stood between the two godheads who felt like a nightmare just by their existence.
Should it be as big as my thumb?
It may have once been splendid, but now it was covered with a worn, frayed robe that was close to rags.
But he was not at all intimidated by the fearsome demons.
The ‘Lord of the Abyssal Swamp’ looked down at him with a terrifyingly cold eye.
– You are indeed arrogant. Antrinia’s new god emperor. We are the great evil gods who are called the disasters of the world.
“It’s a long talk! Shut up and deliver what you promised!”
-…okay. You must have this level of ambition to accomplish a great task. good night!
The ‘beast of strong food and deceit’ glared at him with huge eyes like a lake stained with red blood.
-Kreur! Consider it an honor, Emperor! To share precious divine power with you, a mortal by nature!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Pillars of blue and black light rose from the ruler of the abyssal swamp, strong food, and the beast of deceit, respectively, and poured down towards the unknown monster.
“Quaaaaaa!”
The monster sat down screaming in pain.
I pondered over what the demons said.
Antrinia’s new god emperor?
Perhaps the author is the Emperor of the Bug Empire, the culprit behind all the incidents that have targeted Gaya America…?
It was then.
Tring!
– The unique power of ‘Eye of the Blind God’ is activated.
The power of my eyes, which I thought was sealed, was activated.
Tsutsutsu!
Just as the ancient firstborn had a butterfly dream in which he became a butterfly.
– The only god sees the ‘Emperor’.
I saw the emperor
* * *
An unidentified giant cavity.
And there were people trapped there without knowing why.
100 people of different ages, genders, and even races.
Then, a dry voice sounded like digging into their heads.
-congratulations. You have been chosen as the seed of God.
– Depending on your inclination and play, you can become a good or evil god.
– Please overcome hardships and adversity, survive and reign as a ‘god’ in another world.
It’s like the notification sound that came out when I first played Godmaker.
-Start the tutorial.
Hard!
Starting with that, countless swarms of insects began to attack them.
“Aagh! help me!”
“Hey! Avoid everyone!”
A hell unfolded, where people were eaten alive by a tidal wave of insects.
But the sight is strangely not unfamiliar. It’s like déjà vu…
Oh, I remembered.
This was a continuation of the very nightmare I had previously considered a dog dream.
In that nightmare, I was one of the victims being eaten by the worms. Could this really have happened?
In this hell of misery, as if the insects that humans detested, despised, and killed were taking revenge, people sacrificed the dead to survive and ran away and hid themselves.
Their time passed quickly, as if it were fast-forwarding.
Tring!
-24 hours have passed since the start of the tutorial.
Shuuk! Shuwook!
“What!”
“Why are you here again? I obviously ran away.”
“Huh! mom! I hate bugs!”
Again, with courtesy tutorial messages, those who had fled the swarms of insects began to be transmitted to the cove where they were first trapped.
The message echoed again to the bewildered people.
-Current tutorial survivors are ’31’.
At those words, the scarred survivors hurriedly looked around.
The numbers are absurdly short.
In just one day, a whopping 70% of the humans brought here died.
“Damn it!”
Survivors despaired.
But did the beings who threw them into the worm hell called this tutorial thought that one-sided fights were not fun?
– In the tutorial, survivors who survive for 24 hours are given ‘unique powers’ as a privilege.
-‘Inherent Powers’ are powers granted according to the abilities and potentials of survivors.
-Please overcome hardships and adversity to survive and reign as the ‘God’ of this world.
“uh? A spark in my body?”
“My hands became like blades. How did this happen?”
The survivors began to awaken their special abilities.
The person who was a firefighter got the flame ability, and the person who was a chef got the slashing power to cut opponents without a blade.
Many of the abilities they awakened were related to their jobs or talents.
Of course, there were people who gained abilities that were useless, but the survivors who gained power could have hope.
Time passed again.
Tring!
-48 hours have passed since the start of the tutorial.
-Current tutorial survivors are ’21’.
Is it because of the awakening of authority?
Although there were casualties, the survival rate increased incomparably compared to the first day.
“It can’t go on like this. Let’s gather all the information.”
The survivors who survived the second day tried to find a way to somehow survive this hell by gathering their wisdom rather than shivering in fear.
“I threw myself into the Han River because of business failure. But when I woke up, I was here.”
“I was going to an amusement park with my son, and suddenly a truck veered out of the lane and hit us. Whoops!”
“I am at the scene of a fire…”
They had one thing in common.
In reality, it is a person who has already died in an accident.
However, the pain of the insects biting the body was too vivid to regard this place as just an afterlife.
And the hunger that rips through the stomach and the thirst that burns the throat.
“That mysterious message said it was a tutorial. If you clear that, you may be able to escape from this hell.”
“What is a tutorial?”
“It’s like the first mission the user does when they launch the game for the first time.”
“Fuck! So how do you clear it! Are you saying we have to kill all those swarms of bugs that are trying to eat us?”
“Since we’ve gained abilities like the Hunters, wouldn’t it be possible to do something if we join forces?”
At that time, a young biologist wearing broken glasses spoke to the survivors.
“Realistically, I don’t think that’s possible. The marabunta (army ant) that the media talks about is often exaggerated, but in reality it is not that dangerous. However, the thickness of the carapace and strength of the ants here are also different. They take the form of ants, but we should already consider them different creatures. And there are very few of them, but some of them have strange abilities like the powers we have awakened. Rather than confronting them directly, we should start by avoiding the body and figuring out the structure of this strange cave…”
Time passed again.
Tring!
-72 hours have passed since the start of the tutorial.
-Current tutorial survivors are ’17’.
Tring!
-96 hours have passed since the start of the tutorial.
-Current tutorial survivors are ’15’.
Tring!
-120 hours have passed since the start of the tutorial.
-Current tutorial survivors are ’15’.
At some point, there were no more survivors dying.
For the survivors, who had become accustomed to the abilities and features of the cave, the attacks of the insects did not pose a great threat at some point.
“Huh! Aaaah!”
“Hey Auntie! I told you to keep the kid quiet! Do you want to die to bugs?”
“Okay, I was wrong. be quiet joe Is my baby hungry? Let’s eat this, okay?”
“Huh, I hate bugs.”
“Won’t you listen to your mother? I said you have to endure and eat to live!”
The man who glared at him force-feeding the crying child with grilled worms spat.
“damn. useless piece of luggage. The Awakened Authority is also garbage.”
He was a former firefighter who had awakened the power of fire here.
At first, he devotedly tried to protect people, but time in an extreme environment without even a change of food was gradually wearing down his personality.
The man gnashed his teeth as he chewed on the grilled bugs.
There was no choice. It was the only food we could get here.
“Just wait and see, I’ll come back alive somehow.”
He had a sweet dream that if he could survive here and return to reality, he would be able to gain wealth and honor like the famous hunters with this power.
He wasn’t the only one thinking that.
Among the survivors, there were those who had awakened a unique power that would grant them great wealth if they returned to reality.
At a time when bugs are no longer a threat to survival, it was no longer a delusion.
All they needed was food to last until they got out of here, and something to think about to stress about in this terrible hell.
Survivors surrounded a woman who was soothing the only surviving child of the opposite sex there.
“Hey, stop pacifying the kid and take it off quickly. It won’t be long before the bugs come again.”
“Yes yes…”
The woman could not refuse the request.
As she had awakened the telekinesis that could move a weight of only 1 kg, she desperately needed their help to protect her child.
The cry of a child, the scream of a woman, and the laughter of men excited by joy.
The time when another hell unfolded in hell continued.
……
…
···
T-ring!
-240 hours have passed since the start of the tutorial.
-Currently, there is ‘1’ survivor in the tutorial.
and ten days later.
Seruk.
The last survivor who still survived that hell opened his eyes.
[ God Tutorial (2) ]
“Damn it.”
The first survivor who woke up was abusive words.
The body of a man who appeared to be in his late 20s was full of scars.
Especially severe was the injury to the right foot. Black, rotten ooze flowed from the wounds where the clothes were torn and roughly wrapped.
Having worked as a firefighter, he knew how dangerous his condition was now.
“Ouch! Damn damn!”
Some of the party had healing powers, but they died three days ago.
Lee Won-ki, a former firefighter, gritted his teeth as he recalled running away, leaving him screaming for help.
‘I misjudged. I should have saved him to the end!’
Vigor glared at the nearby corpse.
A woman who was made into a lump of charcoal with the authority he obtained, ‘Slaughter God’s Flame’.
“Because of that crazy bitch!”
It was a mistake. Even though she was a babysitter, she was a woman of great taste, so she made it her top priority to enjoy it until the end, but that crazy bitch attacked herself without knowing that grace.
It was when he mixed with that bitch and fell asleep that he bit his Achilles tendon.
After throwing a useless child as bait to escape, he seemed to be insane, but he was vigilant because he followed him like a gum ticket and even sacrificed himself.
I thought I decided to become my own woman in order to survive in this hell, but I never thought I would be stabbed in the back like this!
– Aaah! Is this bitch crazy!
-Hehehe! Die like my child! You can’t even run away properly and get eaten by those bugs while dragging yourself along! Hee hee!
– You crazy bitch! kill it! ‘Slaying God’s Flame’!
-Kyaaaaaaagh!
The energy that sat down in front of the woman’s corpse covered her hair as if tearing it off.
Where did it go wrong?
Why did he, who was a respected fire brigade and lived an upright life, end up in such a terrible state by being dragged into this hell!
‘I feel unfair!’
The only thing I’ve done in my life that would be considered a sin is watching a few videos of sexual exploitation on Telegram.
Could it be that he was dragged into this hell just because of that? Of the thousands of people who saw it, why is it only you?
It was then.
thud!
thump! thump!
A sound like a sledgehammer hitting the floor echoed from the cave beyond the cavity where he was.
“Fuck!
Cold sweat ran down his face like rain.
he was coming
When the survivors who have awakened the power are relieved that insects are no longer a threat to their survival.
