Apocalypse's All-Rounder Mischief

Chapter 31

Commander’s Qualifications (1)

Win the battle against the Hobgoblin Kahlik!

When he fell, the goblins fled in confusion. And, who was chasing after them, suddenly turned and ran.

“Nyaan~?”

The goal is none other than a drop item.

However, Junyoung quickly picked up the drop item before he came.

Whoops, I won’t lose you this time!

[You have obtained the Hero’s Box.]

A box of heroes!

Looking forward to seeing what’s in it.

But now is not the time to open the box as Andy is running with his eyes twinkling.

[The Hero’s Box is put into the subspace inventory.]

Once stored in a safe place.

Thanks to the use of the Lifestone, one place in the inventory was empty.

“Eon!”

For a moment, Andrew wept bitterly with a sad expression on his face.

The fact that a guy who knows how to cry arrogantly cries a little on purpose.

That would mean evoking sympathy.

In other words, he’s acting like he’s pitiful on purpose right now.

‘Anyway, he’s no ordinary guy.’

However, pretending not to know, the guy jumped onto Junyoung’s shoulder.

Then he rubbed Junyoung’s cheeks with his chin and head.

He’s really doing all kinds of aegyo.

But it’s really soft.

The addictiveness of the soft fur is no joke.

“Eon!”

Can’t you just give it to me?

With that expression on his face, the guy cries again.

‘after!’

A formidable aegyo skill that turns even a normal human into a hogu.

‘Can I just give it to you?’

The thought of that comes to mind.

Well, you can play with it for a while and then get it back, but there’s no need to be too rude.

In particular, he is the number one contributor to this battle.

Even if you really want to have a drop item, you have enough qualifications.

‘uh?’

But at some point it disappeared.

Where did you go?

“Aww!”

[Special Ability] Patience (Lv1), Pain Resistance (Lv1), HP Recovery (Lv1), Fighting Spirit (Lv1)

Looking at the status window, I’m kind of happy.

It is also a pleasure to watch the empty ability slots filled with various miscellaneous abilities.

‘But what is that?’

A question mark was flashing in one of the status windows.

【Rank】 50 Division Manager [ ? ]

If you don’t know, just do it intuitively.

Junyoung [ ? ], lightly touched with his finger.

Instantaneous notification.

[You became a commander with Fame ★ 50.][But soon, there will be beings who are trying to challenge your reputation. Some of them are commanders with a higher reputation than you.][If the war is burdensome, you must give up the position of commander within the next 24 hours.][For 24 hours from now, you will be protected from attacks by commanders with reputation ★ (1 star) or higher.][Protection period: 24 hours]

There is also a period of protection.

It’s only one day, though.

They seem to be protected from attacks by other commanders out there.

‘If you want to give up your reputation, you have to do it quickly.’

It means that even if you want to give up after 24 hours, you can’t.

If you want to avoid troublesome work, giving up is the answer.

[You can fight and win endlessly against enemies with reputation to increase your reputation.][Raising your reputation is very difficult, but the higher your reputation, the more abilities and benefits you get.][And if you rise to the rank of 9-Star Commander, you will be recognized as one of the true rulers of this amazing and mysterious world.]

‘It seems that fame exists up to 9 stars.’

In that case, you can become a true ruler.

The notification ended there, and a new indicator appeared on the ranks and flashed.

[Rank] 50 Division Manager [ ! ]

This time it’s an exclamation point.

Let’s touch that part.

[The mission “Qualification of the Commander” has been created.][Mission] Qualifications of a commander

-Mission Reward: 「Limit Break: Allows subordinates to break through the limit of their limited level.」

-Content: To become a competent commander, you must lead by example, and at the same time, you must be able to earn the sincere loyalty of your subordinates.

-Condition 1: 「Take the lead: Achieve level 3 or higher」 (Successful achievement of condition)

-Condition 2: 「Accept the oath of allegiance to 5 subordinates. 0/5” (condition not met)

‘Do I need to make five subordinates to complete this mission?’

All things aside, it is a very difficult condition.

No matter how much they became apocalyptic, there are those who want to become someone’s subordinates…

It’s also an oath of allegiance!

There seems to be no answer.

“Ugh!”

“here is?”

Meanwhile, Kim Dong-hyuk and others have awakened from the curse.

Thanks to Andrew’s protection, no one was attacked by the maw-headed monster.

Nayeon asked.

“What happened to that goblin?”

“Don’t worry, it’s broken. It would have been difficult without your help. thank you for helping me.”

Then, Donghyuk Kim put on a shy expression.

“It doesn’t make sense to ask for help. Rather, I am sorry that I only caused inconvenience.”

It was good until he showed up at the right time and threw out the magic.

But for a moment, he was cursed by God and passed out, and when he woke up, everything was over.

That’s why Nayeon said with a gloomy expression.

“I passed out right away, so I don’t think I helped much.”

“no. All have been very helpful. Kim Dong-hyuk and Na Na-yeon cast their magic at the right time, so the attention was distracted, and the rock that Seung-woo flew was particularly decisive.”

“uh? Really? Did I help?”

Park Seung-woo widened his eyes.

Junyoung smiled and nodded.

“okay.”

“I just threw a rock.”

“But the timing was so deadly. Very well done.”

Junyoung stroked Park Seung-woo’s hair.

“Actually, I have a pretty good sense.”

Park Seung-woo laughed, then stumbled and staggered.

I think it’s because of the aftereffects of the curse.

“Now go in and rest. So do other people. There are no worries here now, so everyone go back to the hideout and rest.”

Then Nayeon asked.

“How about Kang Junyoung?”

“I have some things to organize. I will follow you soon.”

“Yes. Then I’ll go in first.”

Junyoung just can’t get in.

Goblin corpses scattered all over the forest.

Some of them may be exploreable.

***

After a while, Donghyuk Kim, who returned to Room 303, sighed heavily.

“after! After all, he almost died. The goblin god’s curse, what’s that?”

“It was a terrible experience.”

Nayeon also agreed.

Unlike the two of them, Park Seung-woo, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, was smiling.

Then Na Ji-yeon glanced at her.

“What are you so good at?”

“Ouch! Didn’t you hear Junyoung hyung saying that I was of decisive help? My credit for this win is huge.”

“Well, admit it. But does that put a strain on your neck?”

“It gives me strength. It was because something got stuck in my neck.”

Seeing Park Seung-woo like that, I, Ji-yeon, smiled inside her.

‘I’m glad I have a bright personality.’

Park Seung-woo, 15 years old.

Normally, in this case, it is easy to get scared or dead grass, but Park Seung-woo was quite positive.

Rather, it is Kim Dong-hyuk that worries me.

Even before the Apocalypse, he had a rather negative and pessimistic personality.

Then Ji-yeon, leaning her back against the wall in her living room, looked at Tatiana, who had a serious expression on her face.

“Are you surprised too, Tatiana?”

“no. not that.”

Tatiana tilted her head.

“Am I the only one like this?”

“What?”

“Everyone, check the status window once. I see something new.”

After that, I, Jiyeon, brought up her own status window.

The method is not difficult.

She just pops up when she says ‘status window’ to herself.

【Name】 Nayeon

[Level] 1

[Race] Human

【belong】 [ ! ]

【Occupation】 Wizard

what? It’s true.

An item called 【Affiliation】 was created that did not exist before.

“What is this? belong?”

“I don’t know.”

At that time, Seung-Woo Park shouted in a recalled voice.

“Put your hand on the exclamation point there. A quest is floating.”

“What quest?”

“I’m watching it now. I’ll see and let you know.”

“no. I will do it too.”

Immediately, Nayeon [ ! ] put her hand on

At that moment she immediately heard a notification.

[The mission “Limit Break” has been created for you.]

【Mission】 Break through the limits

-Reward: [Rare Class Class Equipment Set]-Content: Awakened! Your level is fixed at 1.

Level 1. That is your destiny and your limits.

But if you want to level up, you need to find a commander who will push you through your limits.

-Condition: 「Find the commander you want to belong to and swear an oath of allegiance. 0/1” (condition not met)

simultaneous notifications.

[Commanders are special beings appointed by fate.][The commander’s abilities vary widely.][Belonging to a commander with high reputation is advantageous for survival and growth.]

‘Can you level up?’

Nayeon was surprised.

This was something I had never heard from Jung Yu-mi.

Because she said that the level of the Awakened is unconditionally fixed to 1 and cannot be raised.

self.

Meanwhile, a new status window appeared automatically.

[Be careful as there is no guarantee that the commander will unconditionally accept your oath of allegiance.][If you are of a different race, you may be killed by the commander.]

‘what?’

I, Jiyeon, doubted her eyes for a moment.

Because she saw a very familiar name on the list of commanders.

“Chief Kim! Did you see the quest?”

“saw. But Kang Junyoung is on the list.”

Kim Dong-hyuk also had a bewildered expression on his face.

“I know he is a wonderful and special person in many ways, but how did you become a commander?”

“Isn’t it because you defeated that goblin earlier?”

“Is that so? Listening to the notification, it seems that fate might just designate you as a commander, if not necessarily?”

“Well, I heard it. What are you going to do now?”

“Well! I’m worried. Suddenly, a strange mission appears and I don’t know what to do.”

Then, Park Seung-woo, who was listening next to him, beat his chest and said, as if frustrated.

“What do you need to worry about now?”

“What do you want to say?”

“If Junyoung only swears allegiance to his older brother, he can level up, so what’s the matter with him? Junyoung’s hyung here is like a lottery for us. It’s not just a lottery, it’s a lottery prize!”

“Hey! Don’t talk about winning the lottery.”

In an instant, a dark shadow appeared on Kim Dong-hyuk’s face.

Seeing him sighing with an expression full of remorse, I, Ji-yeon, shook his head hastily toward Park Seung-woo.

“Seungwoo! Don’t you know that talking about the lottery is forbidden? Team leader Kim is suffering from depression.”

“sorry. From now on, I won’t talk about the lottery.”

belt belt! Tirriri! Rumble!

Then the front door opened and Junyoung came in.

With a cat with a big face.

For a moment, as if Park Seung-woo had been waiting, he jumped up.

“brother! Please accept my loyalty!”

“what?”

“Loyalty. I swear.”
