set.

In some ways, it would be a very popular word in Korea..

A classic math reference book that you should read regularly during your school days..

There must be a reason why the first chapter is a ‘collection’..

But for most men?

The moment you hear the word assembly, you will think of the military..

Roll call to open the morning.

go for a meal.

set for training.

set for work.

set for border.

Plus a roll call to end the day..

Boring group life that repeats gathering and gathering all day long..

There are probably many veterans who recall the memories of those days with a spoonful of vague PTSD..

However, to the spirits living here in the Pantara Mountains,?

The gathering order delivered by humans, and Lloyd, who is from Korea, was very unfamiliar..

It was unfamiliar.

I wasn't used to it.

That's why.

Sixth highest peak in the Pantara Mountains.

After receiving Lloyd's gathering order, the six high-ranking spirits gathered at the top looked at each other with puzzled expressions..

‘Oh, rock spirit. It's been a while.’

‘It’s been a while, too, Pine Spirit. But the heavy snow?’

‘excuse me. I've been here since a while ago. Frost moss, icicles, crevasses, everything.’

‘under. So am I the last one??’

‘Maybe?’

‘I'm losing respect from the Spirit King..’

‘are you okay. This is the first time that the Spirit King has brought all of us, high-level spirits, together in one place..’

‘That's right. It's something that rarely happens. But why did he call us all?.’

‘Maybe it's because of the humans.’

The upper spirit of the pine tree, the protector of all chippy trees residing in the Pantara Mountains, spoke..

‘Because humans have recently entered the mountains and caused havoc..’

‘Oh, I had a hard time because of that too. Because they pushed two peaks and forcibly widened the canyon..’

‘It was a terrible thing. I think that's probably why the Spirit King got so angry..’

‘I guess so. This is the biggest event since the mountain range was created..’

‘Rather than an incident... … It's a disaster.’

‘that's right. I agree.’

Greater spirit of pine trees and rock walls.

The two shared their sorrow by nodding their heads in agreement after a long time..

And waited with the rest of the upper spirits..

May the spirit king who gathered them appear.

How long did I wait like that?.

After a while, the Spirit King appeared at the top of the peak..

However, the Spirit King was not Panthalassa, the Spirit King they had been waiting for..

tup!

“……Keuungcha! Oh my, my waist. Did they tell you to gather here for no reason?.”

The edge of the flat area at the top of the peak.

The grip that tightly held that place.

Soon a sweaty human face appeared..

I came up to the top whining, out of breath and with a red face..

‘…….’

The higher-ranking spirits, including you and I, kept our mouths shut..

It's so absurd.

Because it’s truly unexpected.

I was so embarrassed that I had no idea how to react or respond to the appearance of a human who came up here out of nowhere..

Everyone stared blankly at the human..

But the human reaction is?

It was a sight to behold.

“Whoa!”

I took a breath and brushed the snow off my clothes..

I straightened my disheveled winter clothes and smiled in this direction..

“Fortunately, everyone was already gathered.?”

‘…….’

So calm way of speaking.

Attitude as if you knew it would be like this.

At that moment, the upper-level spirits were astonished..

Because of the nonchalance and shamelessness of humans who appeared out of nowhere.?

It wasn't.

It was because the power of the Spirit King was clearly felt in that person.!

‘……Nonsense!’

It's definitely a human.

Look here and there.

Even if you look at it from above and while standing on your head.

It was clear that that human being was a biological human being that walked on two legs, waving his arms, and conforming to common sense standards(?) that were universally valid..

But I could feel the power of the Spirit King very clearly..

It was neither an illusion nor a mistake.

‘Does this make sense? No, is it possible??’

He's a human, but he's a spirit king..

All of the higher-ranking spirits recalled their suspicions with great shock..

nonsense.

It goes against common sense.

But such a being is right in front of me..

He even came towards me and started talking to me..

“What are you all doing? At best, I'll just obediently gather myself and just zone out.?”

Lloyd was human but became the Spirit King..

he asked with an ironic smile.

That question awakened the spirits of the higher-ranking spirits..

The first superior spirit to react was the rock spirit..

‘human! what on earth are you?’

“Well, whatever. The spirit king of this mountain range. You'll know when you see it?”

‘No, I mean! How? Our Spirit King?’

“Your spirit king? Mr. Panthalassa?”

‘okay! Panthalassa, the ruler and guardian of this mountain range! Where on earth has he gone and is a person like you radiating the power of a spirit king?.’

“Mr. Panthalassa went on vacation.?”

‘……what?’

The rock spirit paused..

A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of Lloyd's mouth..

“Really. They said they found a cozy and cozy place because it was cooler than here. So he said he wanted to rest for a while.”

‘Just for a moment... … How much…….’

“How many decades? They said I would just heal until I die..”

‘…….’

“Honestly, let's admit that much. After listening to Panthalassa's story, I found it pitiful. They say he has been in office for tens of millions of years. But he said there were no holidays during that time. How pitiful. How much I wanted to rest. Besides, I heard that decades isn't a very long time for you..”

‘That's it though…….’

“So, you won't recognize me as the Spirit King.?”

‘Yes!’

The rock spirit immediately responded to Lloyd's question that struck him to the core..

It wasn't just the rock spirit that reacted harshly..

The pine tree spirit island was floating parallel to the rock wall..

Heavy snow, frost moss, icicles, and even the spirits of crevasses..

Someone levitated menacingly in the air..

Someone else started to let out cold air..

The meaning of that attitude was clear..

“Tsk. After all, you don’t want to acknowledge me as the Spirit King? Because I'm human?”

Lloyd chuckled..

As expected, the situation was exactly as expected..

Actually, I thought their reaction was natural..

‘Well, if you change your position, it's exactly like that. Let’s say there is a company you have been working for your entire life. But one day, the company president suddenly disappeared. And some cat said, ‘Aow! What if I declare, ‘Starting today, I’m the boss here!’ Will the company's employees accept the situation obediently??’

It will never be like that..

Lloyd thought it was still the same now..

‘So, only the upper-level spirits were gathered here separately..’

I was lucky enough to inherit the position of Spirit King Panthalassa..

Thanks to this, I can now control the spirits of this mountain range at will..

But there was a mountain to climb to do that..

It was a matter of receiving recognition from the spirits..

‘But how many spirits can there be in these mountains? How much legwork do I have to do to call them all one by one and get them recognized? That's not quite right. Too inefficient.’

So, I selected and collected only the high-ranking spirits..

If you overcome them and gain recognition,?

This was because it was calculated that all the remaining spirits would follow this direction..

‘That's what spirits are like. From the Spirit King to upper, middle, and lower levels. They are strictly divided into classes. For example, it is similar to a class society or the military. So what should I do? You don't have to call every private first class, you just have to call the corporal..’

Then the rest will take care of itself..

The corporals who received the omen (?) got angry and wanted the private..

Then the angry privates harassed the privates again..

‘Then, one of the privates called Byeolnim Byeolnim and scratched the wishing eagle looking for the division commander, and the unit was overturned. But this is a beautiful world without wish-seekers..’

So, I only collected high-level spirits..

Thanks to his position as the Spirit King, collecting was easy..

All you had to do was give the command to gather in your mind..

The gathering order spread like a disaster message..

Lloyd grinned..

Today, I once again reflected on the purpose and purpose of gathering the superior spirits..

“I understand that you all feel that you cannot recognize me as the Spirit King, but I still have to say what I have to say as the Spirit King. I don't work with people who don't listen to me. So choose now. Are you going to acknowledge me as the spirit king, or are you going to reject me and end my spirit life?.”

‘…….’

“Everyone doesn't want to answer?”

‘…….’

Despite our series of questions, the superior spirits only gave us a look of defiance..

But Lloyd only smiled more meaningfully..

As if I knew it would be like this.

So it looks like I prepared a hack pata for you..

declared calmly.

“First of all you.”

His finger pointed at the pine tree spirit..

The moment the pine tree spirit becomes nervous and shows hostility..

“The main body you reside in, i.e. the address, was the largest and oldest pine tree at the top of the tree line towards the ridge over there, probably? I can see it. That's right too. Well then, let’s start with you..”

Lloyd grinned..

He raised his remaining hand..

But before I knew it, there was a shovel in his hand..

Throwing a bet!

The blast fired from the shovel rose high into the sky..

Brightened up a corner of the sky.

Asrai disappeared.

But the next moment.

‘……Heo Eok!’

The nervous spirit of the pine tree collapsed and collapsed..

Then he glared at Lloyd with painful eyes and shouted..

‘you! In my body! what did you do!’

“What did you do?.”

Lloyd smiled calmly..

“I cut off a branch from the main body..”

‘Uh, how!’

“How? My escort cut me off. Look at the signal I just sent.”

‘…….’

The pine tree spirit looked at Lloyd in despair..

A tree branch on the body that has just been cut off..

That was the branch the pine spirit was most proud of..

Among the many branches he has, he is particularly pretty and neat..

It was also the branch I loved and cherished the most..

But I cut it off right away..

You sent your subordinates in advance..

I wondered if there were all these people.

But Lloyd received that look with an even more shameless expression..

Rather, he questioned it as if it was just the beginning..

“Judging by the look in his eyes, he seems to have a rough understanding of the situation. Then the story will be a little simpler. So let me ask you something. Is it really going to end like this? Should I cut off the base of the tree and use it as field material? Or should I just close my eyes and endure it for a few decades??”

‘Yeah, yeah…….’

The spirit of the pine tree was furious..

I realized it as soon as I heard the proposal..

That's a threat disguised as a suggestion..

Close your eyes and accept the offer.

If you don't like it, you can lose your body here and disappear..

It was a clear threat and intimidation that forced a choice..

‘…….’

The pine tree spirit was worried. I was troubled.

But towards that pine tree spirit.

Lloyd's sweet proposal flew in softly..

“Think carefully. It's only been a few decades. Besides, am I asking for something big? Nope. I'm just asking you to recognize me as the Spirit King. Even though he is human, he has achieved the status of Spirit King, so shouldn’t that be accepted as is?.”

‘…….’

“Still don’t like it? Because I'm human? Are you racist or, rather, racialist? No, right? Also, just because I become the Spirit King, do you think I will give out extremely unreasonable orders??”

‘But people like you are destroying the peak this time.…….’

“That's because of unavoidable construction. That's why I want to ask you a favor. I just hope that there will be no heavy snowfall or bad weather near the site, and sometimes I would like to receive a little help from the spirits on the Nangongsa Temple course..”

‘…….’

“In return, I will ensure that the entire remaining section of the mountain range, excluding the construction site, is never touched by humans. Take responsibility and promise. This won't be a loss for you either. So, can we reach an agreement like this?.”

‘…….’

“Well, if you still don’t like it, you can end your spirit life with construction site materials..”

‘…….’

“And there you are. Is it Icicle’s higher-ranking spirit? You're relieved that you can't use it as a material because it's ice.?”

‘……!’

The icicle spirit, who was keenly watching the situation, flinched..

An evil smile appeared on Lloyd's lips..

“I assure you, icicles don't make you safe. So let me ask you. What are your hopes for the future??”

‘what?’

“Do you like beef soup, clear soup, red soup??”

‘…….’

“Which of the two do you want to be? Which way would it be more rewarding to end one's spirit life??”

gulp.

The spirit of the icicle shook Mokuldae, where there was no place..

Finally, the higher spirits were able to realize.

That man's threats.

It's not a lie.

It's not even a bluff.

Really, that person is the kind of guy who does it if he does it..

In other words, they are now in a situation where they have been properly bitten by a crazy person who easily surpasses universal common sense..

The moment I realized that.

‘…….’

The higher-ranking spirits glanced at each other..

In a short period of time, heated arguments and opinions were exchanged in the exchange of glances..

pros and cons.

acceptance and resistance.

Soon everyone came to a conclusion.

‘……great. We acknowledge you as our ruler.’

I don't want it to disappear like this.

So, you just have to endure it for a few decades..

The determined upper-class spirits bowed their heads..

At that moment, Lloyd smiled with satisfaction..

And commanded.

“good. Good idea. Then let's go for a run to celebrate..”

‘yes?’

“Run. That rock over there. Point it out. The first five people who rebelled against me even briefly today will be given special consideration. Last place has no soup.”

‘what is that…….’

The expressions of the superior spirits were shaken..

A stern smile appeared on Lloyd's lips..

Because those who rebelled bowed their heads.

Just because I pretended to obey for a moment.

If you are naively satisfied and accept it, it will rise again someday..

So, when you set the mood, you have to make sure to roll with it..

Who has the upper hand needs to be engraved into our bones..

That way, you can pamper yourself forever..

Lloyd said, reflecting on that fact..

“Do you have a personality problem? If you mess around, you'll come in last place.?”

‘……!’

The higher-ranking spirits realized the atmosphere and started running..

This was the moment when Lloyd was finally recognized as the complete ruler of the Pantara Mountains and had hundreds and thousands of spirits under his command..
