Damn System

Episode 59

Chapter 14 Server Connection (3)

[If it felt like a mere apology, I’m sorry too.]

The first divinity I experienced was overwhelming and heavy.

If I had to distinguish it, would I say that the overall unpleasant feeling was strong?

Other divinities that came pouring in after that were not much different.

However, Senoa’s divinity was a little different.

‘Is it because the discipline in charge is humility?’

Overall, it was a cautious and calm feeling.

[And thank you so much for making this happen today. Thanks to you, I can see hope in the dark future.]

Maybe that’s why it was ambiguous to push hard like I did with the others.

‘This type is inconvenient.’

I can’t feel the fighting power of the opponent, so I’m losing my strength.

When I shut my mouth with an uncomfortable expression, I think I could feel a slight smile.

Senoa said, frowning furiously, wondering if he was laughing at me.

[Please consider this as a return of gratitude.]

A golden glow appeared in front of my eyes, and soon it became a ball the size of my fist.

As I stared at it, the system kicked in.

“Senoah, the god of humility, presents a gift of thanks on behalf of Bihar.”

I reached out my hand, apparently meaning to receive it.

As soon as my fingers touched the beads, they were sucked into my body.

“A token of title alliance is created.”

My body flinched for a while, and I pressed the new title on the status window.

[Token of Alliance]

• Description: A gift from the gods of Bihar to show their appreciation for your achievements.

• Effect: All 7 powers can be used regardless of the camp you belong to.

His fingertips trembled despite his efforts to suppress his agitation.

The problem that was bothering me unknowingly while reading the main scenario was resolved.

‘There is no need to use the power of Carlos.’

As I secretly let out a sigh of relief, Senoa prepared to say goodbye.

[Now… … .]

“Wait, ask the Palao of Charity… … There is something I would like to ask you.”

The reason I hurriedly grabbed him was because I didn’t think I would have many opportunities to talk to the gods if it weren’t for now.

I wondered why Ahel picked up Palao and recommended it.

I brought it up because I wanted to see if I could get a hint if I had a direct conversation, but there was no answer.

‘What, did you not come at all?’

Did Palao not come here at all?

Or maybe it’s to prevent Senoa from talking to me.

For a while, I wondered what was real.

[The Palao of Charity has disappeared.]

At an unexpected timing, I was able to hear an unexpected answer from another unfamiliar divinity.

Even the noisy four, Senoa, and the just mentioned Hana.

All six gods were present here.

“… … okay.”

The fact that the Palao died was enough to explain why Ahel recommended the Palao’s temple.

‘It’s like a neutral zone.’

The Cult of Palao has lost its head.

That is why it is not in the interest of other denominations or gods.

A church whose prestige is waning, with no reason to even check it.

That is the position of the Cult of Palao in this world.

[I wish you good luck.]

Immediately after realizing this fact, the god who delivered the news of Palao’s disappearance left a calm greeting and disappeared.

[Then let’s fulfill the agreement.]

《System Message》

We will start working on the connection as soon as possible.

Afterwards, Senoa and the system exchanged a short conversation.

[Farewell until we meet again.]

From that point on, all the huge presence disappeared.

It seemed Senoa had taken everyone and left.

I took my seat in the empty prayer room and filled my lungs with breath.

Now that the gods are gone, the next step is the system.

“Hey system.”

A white film formed around me at the call that sank low.

It was the same as the defense wall seen in the 1st and 2nd level missions.

It seems that they are trying to block our view so that the seven, no, six gods will not know our conversation.

Sure enough, after the barrier completely covered me, a system window appeared in front of me.

《System Message》

Yes, player Kang Hyeon-woo.

there is still A system that can communicate is in front of my eyes.

Confirming that fact, I clenched my hands tightly.

And he chanted with anger rising from the depths of his heart.

“You bastard… … .”

I have already raised my voice and vented my anger at my personality.

At least I think my relationship with the system was that messed up.

But the seething anger did not come out of his mouth.

《System Message》

We sincerely apologize for the sudden heavy burden.

It wasn’t because the system’s response was polite, nor was it because the other side had apologized first.

It’s more like I couldn’t get angry because I saw the main scenario.

Because I guess what kind of situation this world and earth called Bihar are in.

Getting angry doesn’t change this sh*tty situation.

《System Message》

Also thank you very much. Thanks to player Hyeonwoo Kang, we dramatically shortened the estimated time required to connect to the server.

I clenched my fists tightly and read what the system was saying with a slightly despondent feeling.

《System Message》

Please let me know if you need anything. If you have any questions, we will answer them all as well. If it’s necessary to support your play, we’ll figure out a way.

“Whoa.”

I sighed and rubbed my face.

It is time to achieve the purpose we have come so far.

“Why are you so innocent today?”

Of course, not all of the hostility had disappeared, so I couldn’t help the way I spoke.

But the system returned a calm answer as if it didn’t care.

《System Message》

Thanks to the divinity left behind by the deities of Bihar, there is some leeway, albeit temporarily.

I woke up. If two-way communication like now is temporary, you shouldn’t waste time like this.

I immediately brought out the business.

“Is the Hall connected to Earth? Did the player go back and forth through the hall?”

The most urgent is the issue related to Hall.

《System Message》

Yes, that’s correct.

I asked again as I gritted my teeth and caught my breath.

“Can monsters come and go?”

His voice trembled slightly. This was a really important issue for me.

《System Message》

Yes, but currently I have it blocked off my line.

The numbers on the mission list came to mind and my feet felt far away.

《System Message》

Of course, if you don’t completely destroy it, it will be used as a passage for enemies. The real Bihar was invaded that way.

Perhaps you can think of it as the name of this world.

Our world is Earth, this world is Bihar.

Of course, the important thing now is not the name of this world.

Between Earth and Bihar, I don’t care.

I hoped it wasn’t, but the information I came up with by following the information I gathered was the correct answer.

Perhaps because I had vaguely guessed it, the shock wasn’t that great. It’s just clogged.

《System Message》

The period of neglect of the hall after the existing gates became unusable was too long. If the server had been connected two years ago, it wouldn’t have been a mess like it is now… … .

The words of the system that followed every week did not catch my eye.

I took a dangerous breath for a moment, and suddenly I closed my eyes tightly.

You can’t stay silent forever.

‘Wake. You didn’t know at all.’

I tried to calm my weakened body and calmed myself down.

Between Earth and Bihar, once I’ve checked the hall’s function, I have only one choice.

It’s not just that they cross over to Earth.

It is absolutely unacceptable to see those monsters sticking their teeth at the people around me.

‘Even if I die, I won’t see it.’

It’s enough for me alone to go through this terrible experience that started with the tutorial.

What do I do when my heart is like this?

There is no choice but to dry the seeds of monsters in this place called Bihar.

I rubbed my face briskly and began to calm myself down.

‘It doesn’t change anything if you take your anger out. It’s not time to waste time like that.’

It is not that the system’s apology has eased my mind, or that the layer upon layer of emotions have been resolved.

I can’t forgive the system unless it changes the fact that this guy pushed me to the limb.

One day, I will surely repay the resentment I felt while doing the tutorial.

But that’s just not the case now.

‘The continuation of mankind.’

To solve that huge problem, we need the power of the system.

So, deep in my heart, I decided to bury the anger of the past in a place that I couldn’t see unless I forced it out.

From now on, I have a temporary cooperative relationship with the system.

As I reminded myself of that fact several times, my head cleared.

‘What should I do first?’

Server connection or what, should I check what he meant by the chatter?

‘no.’

To hear the conversation with the gods, that has already been confirmed.

The connection to the server will start soon, and that cannot be undone.

Moreover, thanks to the word server, you can guess what it means.

‘Since there is a separate Earth server now, a new server called Bihar will be opened.’

A story that can be roughly inferred, and that is already confirmed.

There is no need to check and listen to explanations.

Rather, the story about the gods is more important.

Because I have to work in a world ruled by them from now on.

“Those guys I just saw didn’t seem to be trustworthy.”

《System Message》

Expressed numerically, the reliability is about 28%. Even that is a high number considering Senoa and Carlos.

I overpowered it, but they say that it would be easier to just not believe it.

“seven… … No, what about the relationship between the six gods?”

《System Message》

They call themselves brothers, but as you can see, the bond isn’t great.

“It looks like they’re fighting each other, right?”

《System Message》

Beyond that, I don’t know the details of the relationship. However, I know that disputes between denominations are quite frequent.

Shall we say it again? I wasn’t too surprised.

Even in a situation pushed by the enemy and put in a corner, the different denominations raise their voices and fight.

In the meantime, an alliance was formed to support the war.

‘I can clearly see what will happen in the future.’

Ahel clearly said that the majority of sub-species do not know how to use magic.

In a situation where non-combatants are the majority, what if there are thousands or tens of thousands of combatants?

Each denomination will light up their eyes and try to attract players.

‘Because troops that can grow will be the strength of the church.’

Players choosing a faction is more important than you think.

If we didn’t know how to do it, we would end up empowering those who would use and abandon us.

‘Senoah of humility, Carlos of kindness, and Palao of charity.’

I sighed as I carved the names of the three into my head.

‘The remaining four must be kept in check.’

Nothing will change if you argue that the partner who fell from the sky is not trustworthy.

It’s better to tinker with other parts while arguing that you don’t like something you can’t already change.

“Are you sure you said you would do anything to support my play?”

I said I would find out exactly what was necessary.

《System Message》

Yes that’s right.

The system gave me the answer I wanted.

I would have been angry again if I had listened to correct my words while saying that I never did that.

‘I even said thank you for connecting to the server, so if I ask for it now, they’ll do a few things.’

I didn’t even have to think deeply about what was required to play this game.

“A game update? Is that even possible?”

For the future, I will have to tweak this crazy game to suit my taste.
