My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 259

hide and seek (1)
Indoor training facility created just for me.
Gigi Geek— Gigi Geek—
There, there was a lot of heat rising, along with an unusual metallic sound..
Rattling— cooing.!
“Phew, Phew.—!”
And with the sound of something heavy hitting the floor, I finished another routine and looked down at my sweaty, steaming body and let out a quiet exclamation..
“Is this great? Although it may be only a small portion of the total amount, it is still at this level.···.”
After expressing my admiration, I looked down at the exercise equipment I had just been using and frowned slightly..
The handle was slightly bent and twisted, probably because I was still not good at controlling the force..
“Hmm, I guess I need something sturdier too..”
Common equipment available on the market was not suitable for an adept to train his body..
Of course, due to its nature, its basic strength was very strong, but that was only used by the general public..
‘At this point, I guess I'll just have to replace them all with Howard's handmade products. It was good because I was making various things to practice handling the newly acquired materials..’
This sudden growth of the main body was caused by the 『Unique Skill Strengthening (1,300,000)』 performed right before Hugo was sent to Ganghwan World..
Actually, I had no intention of sending Hugo there at first..
「As it is “versatile,” it is good at a variety of chores and is very comfortable to have next to the main unit, and since we are going to a new dimension, I was planning on selecting and dispatching a new avatar with a new feeling..
‘130If only the number of avatars hadn't increased not only in the 10,000-worth reinforcement, but also in the 1.4 million-dollar series in succession..’
As what I thought would happen went astray one after another, I ended up having to let Hugo go in exchange for gaining two unexpected abilities..
The first was the derivative ability of “Object Projection” that is currently strengthening his body..
This is separate from “object projection,” which completely overwrites a single entity’s information, and borrows a certain portion of the avatar’s power. Since there is no clear cooldown, it can be maintained all day long under normal circumstances when power consumption is not significant. was.
‘It can be said that a constant strengthening passive skill has been added. The most amazing thing is that the target avatar is not limited to one object at a time like in “object projection”..’
It was safe to say that it was a fraudulent ability, but the unfortunate thing was that the total amount of power that could be borrowed was far less than the complete “individual projection”..
‘But abilities can be developed somehow. If additional reinforcements are added and proficiency becomes higher, maybe···.’
perhaps.
Using Hans' dark magic, Heinrich's divine power, Harley's physical ability, and even blood magic and elemental magic at the same time—such a terrible hybrid could be born..
Of course, it will take quite a long time for that to happen..
‘Plus, the other abilities are quite useful..’
The problem was his karma balance, which he never thought would dry up so quickly..
After making the Gold Dragon Hatchling Horus, the remaining points were about 2 million..
After that, there was a surge due to the Zephyr Republic incident, and thanks to straws being put in various places, the number increased again to slightly over 3 million.···.
‘With this, I'm starting from scratch again..’
The points needed for the next reinforcement are 1.5 million..
No matter how many karma straws are stuck here and there like pensions, there is a 'elixir of growth' that is constant spending, so unless something major happens, it is a figure that will take quite a long time to achieve..
“Well, since when did I worry about that?.”
I was the one who collected over 10 million points when others were struggling with just 1 million..
To me, karma was just something that naturally accumulated when you did what you had to do.—.
‘Let's see. Kang Hwan-gye, who has roughly finished his work, is now taking a breather.···.’
My interest turned again to my garden, Outerica..
***
Even while worrying about Kang Hwan-gye for a while, Outerica's time passed steadily..
Avatars who build a foundation by training and performing tasks in their respective positions.
And among them, there was one person who showed particularly violent behavior recently..
“Ugh···.”
“Sigh— Ha, surrender! I will surrender!”
“Hahahaha—! Where did the initial enthusiasm go? Is this enough to prove it? Come on, the others don't hesitate and come in at once! Kahahaha!”
Dozens of people collapsed on the floor and groaning, and a giant man standing in the middle of them, clutching a man's head and laughing majestically..
Those surrounding them, each holding a weapon, swallowed dry saliva without realizing it..
That's bound to happen.
It was only natural that the ones sprawled out there like drunken homeless people were the best warriors in the village, and the one who was crying out for surrender while holding his head in the hand of a giant was the chief of their tribe and the strongest warrior in the nearby region..
“Yes? What, is there more? Don’t hesitate and come in! It definitely seems like the most fun place I've ever been to. Now, let's see if the robot tribe can claim to be the best in Calcos.!”
“It's Levart, Harley..”
“Hmm? The robot looks stronger. Anyway, aren't there any more people who will step forward??”
Misty, who was quietly observing from a distance, carefully corrected his pronunciation, but Harley, who had already begun to feel excited, paid no attention to her..
The mad spirit emanating from the body of such an arrogant barbarian warrior caused those around him to take a few steps back without realizing it..
“Umm, Harley? Wouldn't that be enough for now? I think everyone else has acknowledged it now..”
In the end, Misty smiled bitterly and stepped forward again..
The current uproar occurred when Harley, accompanied by Misty, visited and the tribe's chieftains and warriors came forward to test him to see if he was worthy of being king..
The Levat tribe, which had a better location than other tribes thanks to its location in the southeastern tropical rainforest, was powerful and had high pride for generations, but when they suddenly found themselves in a situation where they had to serve someone they had never seen, they decided to do the job..
But as Harley said earlier, this wasn't actually the first time something like this had happened here..
Perhaps, like other tribes, they were planning to show off their skills to prevent people from treating them carelessly.···.
“···Boom! I'm losing my temper..”
dump—
“Ugh!”
The chief, who was being held in Harley's large hand, fell to the floor and swallowed a painful groan..
He was beaten so hard that his body couldn't move, but he was naturally strong, so he forced himself to wriggle and raised his head and looked up at Harley..
2.3A muscular man measuring more than a meter tall and brilliant tattoos engraved on his naked torso..
And the red and green lights shining brightly in the middle of the shadowed features as they turn their backs to the light..
That man, who is just standing still but exuding a sense of cowardly intimidation as if he has a miscalculation of the world, is this man.···.
‘···A new fighting king... It is indeed a masterpiece..’
The chief sighed inwardly and bowed his head slightly..
Even though he had suffered a lot, his eyes did not contain any rejection or anger, but only deep awe and respect..
Due to my pride as a warrior, I couldn't just bow down and enter, so I rushed in, but after feeling the clear difference in rank, I was now able to understand my position..
And it was not just the chieftain alone, but also the elites who were crawling on the ground and groaning, and the warriors who were surrounding and watching..
Southern warriors whose only value is strength.
In their eyes, the sight of him deflecting heavy weapons imbued with aura with his bare body without even armor, and subduing warriors like a child with his bare hands without any weapons, was truly a fighting spirit descending to the earth..
“···To the new King Tu, Umferante, chieftain of Lebat, offers his allegiance..”
“I will be loyal!”
“loyalty···!”
And the chief and the warriors, who had recovered to some extent, swore obedience in front of Harley and the work here was completed..
“Girl, is this the end of the Southeast? Well, then it's about half the money.?”
“Oh my, just call me Misty from now on. Now that I think about it, I see that. and! Even if you ignore the small villages and just stop by the places where the tribal leaders are, you've already covered half the area in this short amount of time. As expected, Harley is amazing.!”
“Hahaha—! Well, the help of witchcraft also played a significant role. It seems like a good match for me.!”
“Wow, compatibility... Oh my! Harley too. Hehehe—.”
How did she take his words? As delusions about how many children she would have were running wild in Misty's head, Harley scratched her chin as she thought about her next schedule..
‘If it was just an issue related to King Tu's accession to the throne, it would have ended with the chiefs from each region being summoned to the center..’
The problem was that the situation in the south, which was swept away by the Baltheon Rebellion, was not so easy..
Not only was the situation under control, but there were still quite a few places where the remnants remained and were wreaking havoc, so it was best for him to move in person in order to finish the job as quickly as possible..
“Tskcha—! Well, then shall we hurry up and go? Now, get on your piggyback again, girl..”
“Hehe, as expected, three is better... hmm? yes yes? yes Harley!”
Harley ran through the south at full speed with the help of the great shaman..
Thanks to this, he was able to tour the entire tribal alliance much earlier than expected, and eventually rose to the rank of true 'king' recognized by all the tribes of Chalcos..
and finally.
Southern power, which had been dispersed, began to rapidly reorganize around him..
***
A blond young man wearing work clothes was busy cleaning various parts of the house..
The disciplined manner in which he dusted, swept with a broom, and mopped exuded the spirit of a professional without any unnecessary effort..
While I was in a trance and obsessed with cleaning,.
While he was diligently mopping the floor, he noticed something and stopped and frowned..
‘this! There's a stain here. If the master knew, he would praise me..’
Action was taken immediately upon judgment..
He took out tools such as a small bottle and a brush from his work apron and carefully dropped the medicine from the bottle onto the stains on the floor and scrubbed vigorously with the brush..
Crunch crunch crunch—
“Hehehe, you cheeky blob. How dare you invade this body’s territory? No matter how much you fly and crawl, it's no problem for me..”
With a cruel smile on his face, he mercilessly attacked the stain without blood or tears.—.
Finally, it disappeared from this world without even leaving a trace..
“Hehehe···.”
Like— just like he did in the past..
“······.”
His body, lying face down on the floor, froze in an instant..
Normally, I would have gotten up right away and moved on to the next task..
For some reason, my mind was so confused now that I couldn't do anything..
And how much time has passed.
“Simon~? Are you still cleaning??”
The man's body stiffened at the sudden voice of the woman... and the master..
But that was only for a moment, and his body, which had gone through countless trainings, was already acting according to its survival instinct without even realizing it..
“Huh! Yes, yes! master! Did you call me! I'm going now!”
“Really. Why did it explode so slowly?.”
The man ran over and fell face down on the floor..
However, Sianna glanced at him with a disapproving look and clicked her tongue lightly..
He then stomped on the back of Simon Carte Azerion, the former crown prince of the Azerion Empire, who was lying face down on the floor, with his sharp heel, and spoke in a soft voice..
“Simon, is it because there is no corporal punishment these days? Or did you rather want this? huh?”
“Ugh! Oh, no. master! Me, I... uh-huh!”
“Hmm, that's true as expected. You accept corporal punishment as a reward. Have you ever seen such a disgusting slave? Phew.”
Red face and rapid breathing.
Simon buried his face in the floor and trembled..
Now, he looked so damaged that it was impossible to even imagine that he was the crown prince of the empire..
Rumbling—
At that moment when the two people were having a great time.
“···This?”
Suddenly, the immortality shook slightly with a slight vibration..
It was so subtle that it would be difficult for an ordinary person to notice, but as an immortal military officer, she could definitely feel it..
“The king...is happy?”
But even she couldn't figure out the reason..
Siana, who was pulling the whip string tautly, slightly tilted her head..
“Ugh, lord... master···.”
“ah.”
At that time, a painful groan escaped from beneath her feet..
‘Well, it doesn't seem like a bad thing, so I guess it doesn't matter..’
If anything happens, the king will let you know..
Before that, there was nothing she could do even if she thought about it, so Sianna decided to just focus on the present..
A sadistic smile formed on her lips..
The whip, which had rested for a moment, split the air again..
***
Immortality.
The Immortal King's Personal Research Workshop.
[Hehehehe— finally.]
Hans, who was surrounded by darkness in the center, let out a low laugh..
The immortality that responded to his emotions was shaking slightly in response, but he was in no mood to worry about such trivial things right now..
To be exact, I felt so good that I didn't even think about such things..
[Got it... this guy.]
for the first time.
Because the long game of tag is starting to come to an end..
Ugh—
The small piece of metal in Hans' hand vibrated slightly..
