Episode 102-Survivors (2)
“You really don’t have a problem, right?”
“okay. “Are you busy with work?”
I didn’t lie. I’m really busy working all day. The friend who contacted me first hung up, saying hello and saying he would see her sometime soon if possible.
I smiled bitterly, put down the phone, and grabbed the mouse. Now, the work I’m talking about wasn’t company work. Like investors looking at stock charts, they watch the monitor all day to see what happened and how to solve it if something happened, and like people who make money by selling game items, they hold on to games and delve into them.
Those were my jobs now.
‘Luckily, the rescue of the survivors was completed without major damage.’
The rescue of the dwarf survivors, which led to Kherson’s tip, was successfully completed thanks to the cooperation of the residents’ desperate struggle and my help, although there were major crises along the way.
As a result, approximately 100 new dwarf survivors joined. Achieving achievements and earning points is a bonus. Now, once they are all converted to allies, you can begin to develop their talents in earnest.
“It seems like you’re growing well.”
I felt relieved when I saw that. From the moment I first met the residents until now.
In the end, our fundamental purpose was only one. It’s about increasing your strength. Increasing the population, improving the characteristics, and developing the civilization of the immigrants who had only tent houses. All of those actions resulted in one goal: to foster group power.
This is because when it comes to confronting bugs or the disputes of surrounding forces, you can ultimately face them without being swayed only if you have that strength.
And when we overcome these crisis situations, we become stronger. When I self-diagnosed the current situation based on that fundamental purpose, I was quite satisfied with the current situation. It was not baseless self-praise.
-Currently, we have a population of about 3,000, and the total number of people who have learned skills from the game seems to be about 200.
“The ratios are similar. “The more games you install, the more traits you can awaken, so don’t worry.”
Through communication with So-yeon Lee, I was able to learn in detail about her condition as she started later than me. Differences in culture, differences in geography… there may be such things, but the village she was raising was still smaller than my residents.
-I’m curious.
These days, the number of people who identify themselves as users is increasing. To what level are these people? Because it hasn’t been properly released yet.
“There would be no particular reason to disclose it to the outside world. “Because the general public won’t be interested.”
I was curious about other people’s levels, but there was no way to know yet. Brian in the United States, who receives support from the government and goes to the media to promote what kind of power he has and what items he has, did not say what kind of residents he actually nurtures and how.
Even ordinary people are just curious about the monsters that have appeared in this era and the superhumans who can defeat them. ‘There’s no need to rush.’ When the bug finally appeared near where I live, I was anxious for no reason, but not now.
The number of warriors continues to increase, and the soldiers’ armament is gradually changing to special equipment for hunters. I will continue to develop the village on my desktop as I am doing now.
I believed that if I just kept at it, I could solve anything that came my way.

“Do you know the identity of those disgusting bugs?!”
“I don’t know everything, but at least I know what they want.”
An outpost of the Arryn people who are building a fortress and wall to protect the place after capturing several enemy hives at the same time.
The dwarves and the exploration team who evacuated without stopping and reached this place met Varun, who was encouraging the construction of a fortress. Even though the dwarves were exhausted, they were constantly amazed as they looked at the facilities being built. Part of it was because I didn’t think that humans would be making something on this scale in a place like this, and part of it was because Varun said he knew about bugs.
“They are made up of many different types. “As far as I can see, their only goal is to devour this world and everything that lives on it.”
Varun told them what he knew and gave them a sneak peek.
The purpose was to completely attract these dwarves as allies. Since there was a connection with Kherson, who had already assimilated to the core as an Aryn tribe, persuasion and communication were surprisingly easy.
“Are you saying that even that is the strength He gave us?”
“If it were not for the grace of the guardian spirit, how would such a thing be possible?”
One of the dwarves raised a finger with a blank expression on his face and pointed at Maureen, who was building a fence.
Maureen was using the stone blocks in her hands to create a thick stone wall in an instant, making a plinking sound. Kherson, who had been given that power himself, smiled and nodded.
Considering his example of being appointed as an architect and developing his characteristics, he was confident that it would not be long before the rescued dwarf survivors became reliable comrades.

“Is there any news about other survivors?”
“I don’t know. They must have been scattered all over the place, so I have no idea where they are. But one thing is certain: there are still people alive. A few days ago, a scout said he saw smoke rising from afar. “Those monsters don’t make fire, so it’s definitely smoke made by their own people.”
Varun, who instructed them to guide them to a place to rest, asked the dwarf representing the survivors, who gave his name as Charon, if he had seen anyone else. If you rescue others, they become allies too. But Charon shook his head and said he didn’t know. All I knew for sure was that there were still people alive.
“Where does that alone get you? “Once the dwarves settle down, I’ll have to think about it.”
The dwarves could not be deployed right away. It was not Varun’s will to be the first to find out what talents they had and to place them in the right positions. In fact, as soon as the dwarves completely trusted the Arryn people and went from neutral to friendly status, they began to be kidnapped one by one into the game world.
“It would be better to send new warriors who have graduated from the trials straight to the north to gain experience and skills, and send those who are tired from fighting there back to the village to rest. “The soldiers also gradually rotated.”
“That’s a good idea.”
Varun, who returned to the village, worked as a tribal leader to manage the village, which had now grown too large.
If you think about it, their guardian deity only provides talent and provides broad direction. It was entirely up to them to use it.
However, even at this point, it is impossible to handle everything on your own. Naturally, Varun’s authority was divided among those he trusted and trusted.
A number of warrior chiefs were created as leaders of the existing warriors, and representatives who managed and controlled the ever-increasing number of warriors, such as the wizard’s representative, the creator’s representative, the miner’s representative, etc. took on the role.
‘fast.’
As the system has been stabilized in this way, the speed at which new immigrants are able to adapt or assimilate has greatly accelerated. Even he could feel it as he watched it off-screen.
“I have to take care of both the northern outpost and the village, so I can’t cover everything. So, I hope everyone reports in detail the parts they are responsible for.”
Varun tried to actively utilize this system, which was born out of necessity. Although the heads of each field are given greater authority, Varun, unlike the heads of other tribes, did not suspect rebellion or rebellion. All of this is the will of the guardian deity.
Disobeying Varun’s will would mean disobeying the guardian deity who gave them strength through trials, so no one has harbored any vain thoughts yet.
“You too, rest for a while. “The north will only be on defense until the walls and forts are completed, and a lot of effort will have been spent rescuing dwarf survivors.”
“all right.”
“As the number of people grows rapidly, many are praising Him and wondering at the same time, but I still don’t know how to explain it. Who exactly is he, what does he really look like, etc.”
After finishing the meeting, Varun told Riena to rest and at the same time confessed one of his worries.
As people knew more and their minds became more complex, people who saw more became curious about more things. If you fill it in, it will be easier to lead people. Varun asked Riena for an answer to this question, not from his own daughter but from the person who was ‘closest to the guardian deity.’
“Teach me how to communicate with God? It’s not something someone teaches or does. Because it depends entirely on His will.”
“So, what he’s not telling me is that he doesn’t want to tell me?”
Riena, who returned home after hearing Varun’s words, recalled a conversation that had taken place in the past.
This was what I asked Regnor, an angel whose identity was hidden while the two of us were alone while the game was loading. Although she did not know Regnor’s identity, she recognized something from Regnor’s uniqueness with the sharp intuition of a warrior.
“Female knight. The God you believe in is different from the one I worship, so I can’t say for sure, but one thing is certain: it is important to think and act for yourself. Don’t try to hear the answer, find out for yourself. “It is not about carrying out a given answer, but making your actions the answer… That is probably why the being you believe in is helping you.”
‘Make it an answer.’
Every word Regner said shook her heart. After thinking about it for several days after that, Riena decided to follow his words.
“Then what is his will that we must believe in and follow?”
“Shura, you have also worked with people of various appearances. “Everything I felt during the process was His will.”
Riena also shared her enlightenment with Shura, who was sitting in front of her.
Riena fights the demons in the game with him, and when she almost dies while fighting a banshee, a monster called Shu, she realizes that she can no longer use her anger and hatred as fuel, and wants a more fundamental answer. Convinced that this was her belief, that is, her faith in him, Riena created an organization with Shura.
The Holy Knights are currently thinking about exactly what kind of guardian deity they believe in and follow, and what they want, and fight for that will. Strictly speaking, it was strongly influenced by and imitated the things seen in the Dark Blood world, but at least it was a type of organization that could not be found among the grassland tribes.
[Achievement Accomplished: Faith (1)]
“…”
And that act was achieved as an achievement and was visible to him who was looking elsewhere.
‘Should I say it’s good in the current situation?’
As your faith deepens and becomes more specific and becomes a true religion, the more achievements you achieve and the more points you earn. He needed a point and smiled bitterly.
It was just bewildering to see the small people writhing on screen believing themselves to be true gods.
“Do I need to push it properly?”
It is true that in order to achieve achievements, we must encourage their actions. Right now, there are only two people who understand the concept, but Riena and Shura created the Holy Knights to serve God, so if they support them, the number of Holy Knights will probably continue to increase.
The reason he hesitates is simply because he knows the reality. Because they know that the God they believe in and follow is in fact nothing more than a mere human being, and that due to his lack of ability, he may not be able to help them when they really need help. Regardless of whether it was simply burdensome or difficult, the possibility of betraying those who firmly believed in him was never comfortable.
