Apocalypse's All-Rounder Mischief

Chapter 32

Commander’s Qualifications (2)

Suddenly swear allegiance!

Of course, in order to complete the mission “Qualification of a Commander”, you must accept five subordinates.

with their pledge of allegiance.

But no matter how much it was, it didn’t make sense for Park Seung-woo to take an oath of allegiance out of the blue.

“Please, bro! I’ll work really hard. Please take it as a subordinate.”

“I wish I could explain why you say that so I can understand.”

“Yes, bro. That’s what…”

After hearing Park Seung-woo’s detailed explanation, Junyoung was surprised.

Immediately, he looked at Kim Dong-hyuk and Na Na-yeon.

“Then maybe?”

“Yes. I’m on the same quest.

Donghyuk Kim replied with an awkward smile.

Tatiana and Na Ji-yeon also nodded when their eyes met Junyoung.

“Me too.”

“I was also created for that mission.”

Oh My God!

Hopefully, a quest will be created to find the commander and swear allegiance.

And new facts.

The reason why Kim Dong-hyuk and others did not level up during that time is not because they did not acquire experience points.

This is because the level was fixed at 1.

To level up, you have to break through the limits.

That’s a skill that only a commander has.

Therefore, the awakened people who are not the commander are desperately looking for the commander and swearing allegiance in order to raise their level.

‘You made it weird anyway.’

However, as Junyoung, there was room for concern.

Before that, he looked at Kim Dong-hyuk and others.

“Then I’m curious what other people think about it other than Seungwoo.”

Then Nayeon answered immediately.

“As Seungwoo said, this is something we do not have to worry about. There is nothing more important than leveling up to survive in this strange world going forward. The oath of allegiance is a little awkward and unfamiliar, but I plan to do it.”

Her expression was serious.

“Honestly, it’s been a while since I’ve seen Kang Junyoung, but I don’t think he’s the type of person who will treat us like subordinates.”

[Level 1 wizard Najiyeon swears allegiance to you.][Would you like to accept Na Ji-yeon as your subordinate?]

It seems that the system just made a judgment by saying that word as an oath of allegiance.

I saw this notification right away.

“What do you two think other than Na Ji-yeon?”

Junyoung looked at Tatiana.

As a woman, it must be no easy task to swear an oath of allegiance to a man of the same age as you, even to a man you have just met.

But Tatiana said with a slight smile as if she had already made up her mind.

“I wish you well, Commander. I swear allegiance.”

[Level 1 fighter Tatiana swears allegiance to you.][Would you like to accept Tatiana as your subordinate?]

She’s not the only one.

Before Junyoung even turned his head.

“It’s embarrassing, but please accept me as a subordinate, Kang Junyoung. No, you should call me Commander from now on.”

It was Kim Dong-hyuk.

It’s very difficult for him, in his mid-30s, to say this to Junyoung, who is almost 10 years old.

However, he also decided to throw away his age or face in order to survive.

[Level 1 wizard Donghyuk Kim swears allegiance to you.][Would you like to accept Donghyuk Kim as your subordinate?]

“·················ogue.”

Of course, I had some expectations.

Even so, I was just asking about your intentions.

I didn’t know that everyone would really swear an oath of allegiance.

And it doesn’t seem like a rough decision.

It can be said that everyone made the courageous decision with a desperate heart for survival.

But even so, Junyoung wasn’t mentally ready yet.

“Wait. I’m sorry, but I’m actually very embarrassed by this situation, so I’m going to try to organize my thoughts by myself for a moment.”

Then, Donghyuk Kim nodded as if he understood.

“It would be. We’re confused, too, but Kang Junyoung, no, Commander-in-law, you’ll be quite embarrassed because this is an unexpected situation. Don’t feel burdened because you don’t have to respond right away.”

“Thank you for your understanding. I’ll be in room 302, so if anything happens, please knock on the front door.”

***Junyoung moved from Room 303 to Room 302.

The place where most of the daily necessities are stored.

His true hideout!

It is a suitable place to think quietly by yourself.

I want to clear my head.

‘Let’s open the drop item box first.’

A Hero’s Box dropped by Hobgoblin Kahlik.

When I took it out of the inventory and opened it, a mysterious jewel shining in five colors appeared.

‘This?’

It is something that has already been obtained once.

A gem from a box dropped by the magical vampire Jung Yu-mi.

The difference is that it is slightly larger than that.

[You have obtained a small and medium-sized subspace inventory package.][Small and Medium-sized Subspace Inventory Package]

-Classification: Magic Tools

-Rank: Legendary

-Description: When equipped, you can get 10 subspace inventory.

‘Oh oh!’

That’s 10 spaces.

However, after reading the description, it was impossible to duplicate the inventory package.

In order to install the small and medium size, the previously installed small size must be unmounted.

Still, it’s 10 squares instead of 5, so where is that?

In the future, you will be able to use your inventory more freely.

‘Shall we put the small size on Andrew?’

I don’t know if it’s even possible for an awakened cat.

[23 hours and 30 minutes left until the protection period of the new Prestigious Commander.]

Then the notification you hear.

‘after!’

Then I see that’s the problem.

After the protection period is over, you never know where or what will come in.

‘If you want to give up, you have to make a decision today.’

Somehow, he gained fame and became a commander, but does the commander have an advantage in survival?

Of course, he said that if you raise your reputation as a commander, you will be given more abilities.

Then he says that when he becomes a 9 star commander he can become one of the true rulers of this world.

‘There’s a good chance you’ll die before then.’

It is impossible to imagine what kind of monstrous monster commanders you will face in the future, starting with the battle with other commander-level monsters nearby.

‘Honestly, I can raise my level even if I don’t belong to a commander.’

Are you taking risks and growing as a commander?

Or, do you level up by yourself like now?

‘If it’s only about getting stronger, the commander would be better.’

It was said that the higher your reputation, the more abilities you can get.

But is it really advantageous in terms of survival?

I don’t think that’s it.

If you lose even once in a battle with powerful commanders, you are instantly dead.

Why don’t you just give up on fame or commander and quietly pursue the survival of the reader without being noticed?

‘But it’s not like that.’

It’s cowardly to leave everyone and step out on your own in a situation like this.

No matter how important one’s own survival was, nonetheless, everyone took an oath of allegiance at the risk of shame.

smart.

Then someone knocked on the front door.

I checked and it was Kim Dong-hyuk.

“I have something I want to say to you quietly, can I come in for a moment?”

“Yes. Come on in.”

Junyoung guided Kim Dong-hyuk to the sofa.

“Tell me.”

“It’s nothing else, and it may feel a little unfamiliar and objectionable, but I hope you take seriously what it means to be a commander.”

I guess he came here to convince me.

He was just about to go, even if he didn’t have to.

“Commander!”

“Yes.”

Kim Dong-hyuk’s two eyes were extremely serious.

“Honestly, until yesterday, I thought that the apocalypse could be a fantasy or a dream, not reality. I was hoping that I would fall asleep for a while and then wake up and return to my original reality.”

The same goes for Junyoung.

It’s an awakening ability, and you don’t need anything.

I just wanted to return to the original, ordinary reality.

When she closes her eyes and opens her eyes, you don’t know how much she expected it to be her own room in her house.

“But not now. The earth is doomed to extinction, and we are now moving to an unfamiliar world. This is reality. Denying it does not mean that this reality becomes an illusion.”

Donghyuk Kim continued talking with his eyes shining.

“Have you ever read a fantasy novel?”

“I read a lot.”

“Then what about Glutopia?”

“I know. I go there often and read. They also pay gold.”

“AHA!”

For a moment, Donghyuk Kim made an emotional expression on his face.

A happy smile appeared on his lips.

“Then it will be easy to understand. Apocalypse Warp of Another World! There, from the system to the survivors! It’s absurd, but that’s exactly how we are now.”

“I think it’s similar.”

“So what I want to say is one thing.”

“What is it?”

“The old order as we know it is broken. There is no state, no army, no police to protect us. In this jungle world.”

Donghyuk Kim clenched his fist.

“It is only the survival of the strong.”

Survival of the strong!

The strong survive.

The strong rule.

“So I’m going to tear this apart now. I saved it in case it goes back one day, but now it’s just garbage.”

Whoops.

Kim Dong-hyuk’s eyes, which suddenly pulled something out of his wallet, were as gloomy as those of a warrior before a decisive battle.

However, unlike the way he pulled out his sword, his hand trembled for a moment.

Rumble.

‘That one?’

Numbers written on white receipts.

“Maybe that?”

“It is a receipt for the 1st place in the lottery.”

Oh My God! 1st place!

Again it was real.

Then he saw himself grumbling and guessed it was.

“The reason I want to tear this apart is to forget the past and adapt to the present reality. So, I want you to accept the reality now. As Seungwoo said, the commander here is the lottery. This is not a receipt.”

I know what you mean.

No, I fully understand.

Even if I didn’t say that, I was trying to become a commander.

But that doesn’t mean I’ll have to rip that receipt.

‘Still, you never know.’

How much will that cost if it returns to the original reality!

“Wait. Don’t tear it, give it to me. I will keep it.”

“There is no need for that…”

Kim Dong-hyuk’s eyes were bloodshot.

Junyoung chuckled.

“I just want to keep it as a souvenir. It’s not possible, but if…”

“No if. There is no such thing. Earth is over. We have to adapt to the world here!”

Kim Dong-hyuk shouted like a scream.

Junyoung nodded.

That’s right.

Am! That’s right.

But that’s it and this is this.

You’ll never see your lottery ticket torn right in front of your eyes!

“Let it go, Commander. This needs to be ripped apart.”

“for a moment! I’ve decided I will be the commander.”

“Is that true?”

In an instant, Donghyuk Kim’s expression brightened.

As soon as the strength in his hand holding the receipt loosened, Junyoung quickly took it.

This is once in a space.

[The lottery receipt has been received in the Aspace inventory.]

To the bewildered Donghyuk Kim, Junyoung spoke without delay.

“Now, I will accept Kim Dong-hyuk as my subordinate.”

That moment.

[Level 1 wizard Donghyuk Kim has become your subordinate.][Complete some of the Commander’s Qualifications 2. 1/5][You must accept 4 more subordinates in the future.]

That moment.

Kim Dong-hyuk also received a notification.

[Fame ★ Commander Kang Junyoung has accepted you as a subordinate.][You have become Kang Junyoung’s subordinate.][The condition of the mission 「Breakthrough」: 「Find a commander you want to belong to and make an oath of allegiance」 has been successfully performed.][You have obtained the Apprentice Mage’s Equipment Set as a mission reward.][Apprentice Wizard’s Equipment Set]

-Class: Rare

-Set composition: Apprentice wizard’s robe, apprentice wizard’s staff

-Set Effect: Magic Attack +5

“Oh oh!”

Although it was somewhat crude, he obtained a robe and a staff that could be said to be the symbols of a wizard.

He immediately installed them.

[Your Apprentice Wizard’s Robe is equipped.][Your Apprentice Wizard’s Staff is equipped.][Apprentice Wizard set effect increases magic attack power by 5.]

Kim Dong-hyuk, wearing a blue robe and holding a brown wand, gave off a pretty magician look.

“It’s wonderful. It’s like a real magician.”

“Thanks, Commander. haha.”

Kim Dong-hyuk also seemed to like his equipment quite a bit.

Anyway, it’s kind of embarrassing.

‘Why don’t I have that kind of equipment reward?’

In fact, there is no compensation for Junyoung, the commander.

‘Is it because I don’t have a job?’

Junyoung has no dedicated equipment.

Instead, it has the ability to create it.

“Now go to the next door, Commander.”

“Yes. But is there any other title other than Commander? It’s kind of awkward, so I’d rather just call her by name.”

“It’s not possible. In case the number of people increases in the future, the title should be clear. If the commander is like that, then Chief of Fifties! Or how about you, General?”

“Not both. In particular, the general is a little…”

“Then I’ll call you representative for the time being.”

“It’s better than that.”

[Level 1 wizard Najiyeon has become your subordinate.][Level 1 fighter Tatiana has become your subordinate.][Level 1 pilot, Park Seung-woo has become your subordinate.]

Moving on, Junyoung moved to Room 303 and took Na Ji-yeon and others as his subordinates.

Everyone was excited to receive their respective equipment as a reward.

“No, sir! Thank you for accepting me as a subordinate!”

“I will work hard in the future too, CEO!”

“I will do my best, CEO!”

It’s kind of like a company.

Still, this is better.

[Complete some of the Commander’s Qualifications 2. 4/5][You must accept one more subordinate in the future.]

The problem is that the mission has not yet been accomplished.

Excluding Junyoung, there are only 4 Awakened people.

‘No, I have one more.’

I have a cat with a fickle awakening.
