◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
A new demon, Seere, had been resurrected.
And it hadn’t even been 3 months since Andromalius was vanquished.
Moreover, the news of his resurrection wasn’t obtained through an oracle like last time, but only because there were already victims and the information was passed on.
In a word, it was already far too late to suppress the fire early on.
Originally, demons that resurrected every few hundred years, appeared again in just 3 months.
Naturally, the imperial palace was in an uproar.
“What the hell kind of nonsense is that!”
Bang!
The sound of the emperor hitting his chair resounded everywhere.
It was an action unbecoming of the emperor’s prestige, but no one thought to stop him.
It was a situation worth getting pissed about.
Communicating with otherworlders, catching religious groups, dealing with the aftermath of the last raid.
To them, who were already handling work to the point of overwork, it was truly shocking news.
“Wasn’t there no appearance of the demon’s blood this time? But suddenly a demon has resurrected? If you can’t explain it properly, you will face great anger.”
Although he said ‘great anger’, it was fortunate that he wouldn’t behead them due to lack of manpower. Instead, their retirement might be delayed by a few years.
Very fortunately, the ministers had properly found out the reason for it.
“Yes, it seems that the Lemegeton group that has been getting stronger recently found Seere’s altar···.”
“Damn, those cult bastards···.”
The emperor swallowed his resentment upon hearing that information.
There are largely two ways to summon demons.
First, a holder of demon blood directly harvests and offers souls. In other words, offering sacrifices remotely.
Almost all demons summoned until now had their seals removed through this method.
The second method was to directly find the sealed altar and undo the seal.
One could offer sacrifices, or put in effort to weaken the seal.
The advantage of this method was that one didn’t necessarily have to offer souls to the demon.
There was no need to find a blood holder either. One just had to directly offer sacrifices at the altar.
The disadvantage was that there hadn’t been a single one found until now because they were so tightly hidden.
By chance, one was discovered this time. And at the hands of the enemy at that.
Sigh, the emperor let out a sigh and asked.
“So… So how many deaths were there this time?”
Usually when a demon descended, numerous deaths occured.
In the special case of Andromalius who had otherworlders tank for him, originally the unit of sacrifices started at over a hundred.
To the point that when Belial appeared, there was a case where over ten thousand people died.
As such, the emperor could only imagine the worst case scenario.
It had been a few days since the demon descended, so the damage will surely be quite large.
“Yes, about that…”
But the answer that came out of the minister’s mouth was the exact opposite of the emperor’s expectations.
“I heard it’s not even 20 people.”
“···Huh?”
The emperor tilted his head.
That few?
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Seere had descended. And until the day he descended, he was very quiet.
It was not like an official event happened like last time, and it was not like he engaged in a huge battle as soon as he appeared.
As quietly as he had been buried underground, he popped out of the seal.
And he faithfully listened to the requests of those who summoned him.
It’s not like any special restrictions or pressure were applied either.
In the first place, who could pressure a high-ranking demon who even received a position?
It could just be seen as Seere’s characteristic. He uniquely showed a kind appearance to his summoners. He could be said to be different from regular demons in many ways.
Anyway, the request he received upon being summoned was this. To expand their religious power.
“I’ll gladly do that much.”
From then on, sacrifices by Seere began to occur. Somewhat weakly.
Instead of indiscriminately massacring humans, he first asked the humans.
“I’ll give you a choice. Will you serve under me, or die painfully here?”
Join or die.
Faced with such extreme choices, what humans would choose was obvious. One has to live first to seek other methods, no?
Of course, Lemegeton would be designated as a public enemy of the continent, but life was precious.
Like that, the religious group suddenly had an exponential increase in ordinary believers.
Lemegeton’s officers persuaded or threatened them, or placed light restraints on their bodies so they couldn’t run away.
Of course, among those threatened by Seere to join, there were otherworlders too.
To them, death wasn’t a big problem. Even if they died, while there was a big loss, it was not like they disappeared forever like some people. If they just invested some time, they would sufficiently recover.
But even among otherworlders, there were quite a lot who joined the group.
“Hmm… You’re an interesting kid. How about it, will you serve under me?”
“Yes! Please let me!”
The reason was because Seere’s looks were quite amazing.
He had a huge height that seemed to reach 190cm, brilliant blond hair reaching his shoulders, a body and face like a sculpture. While he did give off a slightly greasy feeling, he was a typical Western pretty boy.
He even had small wings behind his back, so at a glance, he looked like an angel.
Such a person was inviting them to join.
Even if that group gave them a bit of an unpleasant feeling, the temptation was definitely there.
Regardless of the worldview here, to otherworlders, this place was just a simple game.
Of course, there were quite a lot who tried to be serious, but most users did it to enjoy the game.
To them, Seere’s proposal was just an interesting choice.
As new content was released, the bulletin boards were in an uproar for a while too.

[Starting today, my god is Seere]
(Photo)
Look how well-designed he is
How overworked must the art team have been? I’m just so grateful…
From now on, Seere and I are one body.
Seere, my light, my darkness, my life…
+
[Calm down man]
[For real, with that face, he tells you to come under him, how can you refuse? You gotta go no matter what lol]
[ㄴ Isn’t that too hasty? I saw in the system that it’s an evil group so your reputation might drop so be careful;;]
[ㄴ Yeah I don’t have any reputation to be careful of~]
[ㄴ Is being an evil group important? When you can become the footrest of Lord Seere?]
+
[I tried to join but just died]
I was slightly tempted so I tried to nod but the surrounding NPCs cursed me out so much
How could you do that when we are trying to survive;
I have a bit of a nice guy syndrome so I just died cleanly
My precious plate armor… I bought it so expensively but I lost that too dammit
+
[Lol dumbass]
[Don’t come to me please, I have no intention of joining]
[Why isn’t he coming to me? I have the confidence to immediately lick his feet and join]
[ㄴ If you go there, your game might get twisted, why would you go? You only see what’s in front, stupid ㅋㅋㅋ]
[ㄴ If a player isn’t going to explore the unknown, why be an adventurer? Scaredy cat lol]
Numerous opinions clashed in the community.
While the arena often opened, today the heat was especially high.
Because this event would clearly have a big influence going forward.
Is it right or not. Is it efficient or not. So is it arousing or not arousing, etc.
Countless perspectives related to one incident pop out.
As much as the countries in [Demons Saga] were in an uproar, the users were also quite noisy.
But as always. No matter how noisy the outside world is.
From the perspective of someone living in the forest, it was something that doesn’t matter at all.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Although I was cursed to only be able to wear a tank top because of uninvited guests coming to the forest, even for me, there were times when the curse was lifted.
It was when she came to visit my cave.
When she cast an illusion on me, I could briefly forget the curse on my body and take out a wifebeater.
The grungy wifebeater sealed deep in the cave that is.
“Haa··· It’s cool.”
Whenever I wore a wifebeater and sunbathed like this, I could feel a moment of paradise.
“……”
Of course, the woman in front of me felt considerable embarrassment whenever this happened.
But perhaps because we met a few times, she adapted quite a bit.
Yes, a wifebeater is also just regular clothing if you think about it, no? There’s no need to be that embarrassed.
Of course, she still couldn’t really make eye contact though.
Anyway, with my curse lifted like that, I took out bread from the pouch I prepared.
It was a pastry I saved for today’s sunbathing.
Bread was always delicious whenever you ate it, but sometimes you wanted to eat it in a leisurely atmosphere. I diligently preserved it for two days for that.
Anticipating the crispy texture of the bread, I took a bite. But sadly, what I got was sogginess.
“…Ah.”
I let out a small sigh.
Being able to eat bread once in a while was really nice.
Because it felt like I achieved one of my childhood dreams. When I ate sweet and savory bread, it felt like my stress melted away on its own.
However, if there was one slightly unfortunate thing, it was that by the time the bread arrived in this forest, it was already all cold.
Of course, the taste probably wouldn’t change, but there had to be a big point deduction in the texture.
The bread remaining in my childhood memories was definitely warm and crispy…
I muttered for a moment with a gloomy expression.
“It’s really stuffy not being able to go outside.”
“Well, it can’t be helped…”
Ha-neul timidly responded to my grumbling.
As the only one who knew about my pattern, she sometimes empathized with my position.
I watched her for a moment, then suddenly a thought popped into my head.
“Come to think of it, can’t you change appearance with that magic…?”
“Huh? I haven’t tried it, but you probably could change it, right?”
“Hoh….”
Ha-neul tilted her head at my nodding.
She seemed to not know what I was thinking.
If one could change their appearance a bit too… even if it was a bit dangerous, it seemed worth trying.
I asked her with a small smile.
“…Want to go to the city together?”
It seemed time to tour a bit beyond the back alleys.
