Episode 63-Phase (3)
‘Strong, but.’
A huge enemy struggling to carry out its duty to kill them. However, Riena swung her sword without hesitation this time, as she had done so far.
It was clearly a stronger enemy that could even fly in the sky. However, these unidentified black monsters are not the only ones that become stronger the more they fight. She and all the residents continue to become stronger without a single day of rest.
Soldiers who ate well without going hungry were full of strength even though they did hard work, and warriors like her grew up gaining strength beyond their limits.
“I think we won. “It is clear that he has stopped breathing.”
Rakum, who had taken the finishing blow and cut off his life, spoke out of breath. As he said, the giant black wasp turned into dust and disappeared, leaving behind only the by-products of its power.
“Good job. The warriors had better go and rest. We’ll take care of the cleanup. If anything happens, he will let you know first.”
Varun advised those involved in the fight to step aside and rest and instructed the remaining personnel to take care of the situation. Even if you are always prepared, it is inevitable that your plans will go awry because the attack comes at an unexpected moment.
However, their guardian deity knows their situation better than anyone else. As Varun believed, he actually took stock of the residents, treated the seriously injured, and left untouched those who needed rest.
“Hmm, so you said that the hunters of that world would pay money to buy pieces of these monsters?”
“It is said that the bodies of creatures, i.e. giant monsters, contain magical power, so they are used to create equipment with special power. However, because it takes time to learn and master the crafting technique, it is impossible to make equipment from the corpses of these black monsters even if you learn the technique right away.”
“Then we can get the equipment there during that time.”
Riena did not go back right away, but stayed by Varun’s side as he collected by-products and told him what he had been doing up until just moments ago.
Varun, who heard about the hunters, nodded, saying he knew right away.

If you acquire or create weapons that can attack giant monster creatures, it will be helpful in dealing with bugs.
“I wonder if he will continue to take you to that new land. “You have a lot to do right now.”
“I’m fine. I could.”
“It’s not good for everything to be focused on just you. “If nothing happens without you, can you say it’s lacking?”
Varun was concerned about whether Riena, who is also active in Dark Blood, should be the main player in another game, Creature Hunting.
She shook her head and said she could do it, but Varun wasn’t just saying that because he thought it would be hard for her.
“Do you mean to offer a ancestral rite?”
“The work is very busy and the atmosphere is chaotic because of the attack, but it is something that must be done. “Shouldn’t we say thank you to the person who helped us win the victory?”
By the time the training was roughly over. Varun announced to the people that he would offer a sacrifice to heaven. I originally planned to do this when I absorbed Ornn’s tribe members into one after winning the war, but I was pushed back because there was too much work to do, so I only spoke about it now.
No one objected. This is because they all obviously knew that the guardian spirit was with them. The residents, who had been enemies but were now united, trembled in fear as they clearly saw a huge hammer falling from the sky, crushing and killing those who resisted.
‘It could become our own tradition.’
It was not that there was no folk religion, but there was no case where there was such a clear object of worship. Varun planned to use it to unite the tribe tightly.
One of the intentions was to perform rituals such as ancestral rites. Regardless of origin or social status, everyone could become one through faith.
“Bring me the loot.”
After completing his preparations, and with most of the residents nervously taking their seats, Varun began a ritual that he had already performed briefly in the past, holding a fancy, precious sword of zero practicality that had been given to him by the guardian spirit himself.
It was a ceremony to thank them for the blessings they had received so far and to pray that they would be protected in the future.
***
“Oh my.”
A pious ceremony performed by a large number of people, now numbering nearly 1,000. The consciousness was directed towards me.
As I was staring at it blankly, I was shocked to see objects popping out one by one from the monitor through the file transfer device.
Most of the loot they gave me was made up of precious metals that came from outside the plains. It’s something they don’t really need, but it’s helpful to me.
The problem is that, unlike before, when there was only one gold ring, quite a lot of it came pouring in. Without even having time to watch what they were doing on the screen, I picked them up as they fell to the desk and floor.
“Ugh.”
While picking something up from the floor, he was hit on the head with a dagger sheath made of gold. The amount of loot collected was enough to fill more than half of a backpack.
As I was well aware of their situation as nomads in the grasslands, I knew very well that these precious metals, which they did not know how much they would receive if they were all disposed of, were items that were difficult for them to touch.
[Achievement Accomplished: Early Faith (2)]
Achievements were also achieved. Their sincere feelings for me were recognized. It is true that people who truly believe in and follow someone who is not that special feel burdened, but it is also true that it makes my heart pound that so many people follow me.
‘I want to repay you.’
They offered a memorial service as a way of repaying me, but I wanted to give them an answer.
So what I was thinking about was the second step of the document program I activated last time.
I gave them their names a few days ago by writing them in the sky using a text program. But that wasn’t the only function of the program.
It was also possible to use the program to use a kind of blessing that is activated when a specific keyword is entered. If desktop destruction is my main tool to intervene in them, then this is a kind of buff tool.
[Healing Wind]
I invested the points I earned from this achievement to unlock one of the buffs. According to the explanation, it creates a wind containing healing power that restores physical strength and wounds to the area.
“—?!”
“—, —!”
It seems to be working. A cool breeze blowing through the village along with letters of light appearing in the sky. The residents were shocked and shouted at the sky.
Those who had suffered minor injuries in the previous battle and could not receive treatment were wide-eyed at the sight of their wounds recovering quickly.
‘I’ll leave everything else as is and send Riena to work on creature hunting for the time being.’
When the ceremony was over and the residents dispersed again to do their jobs. For the sake of their condition, I decided to end today’s game here and saw Riena still wearing her armor.
To some extent, the cycles are fixed. In the third game released today, the plan was to teach Riena to others and replace her with others once she became familiar with hunting, harvesting by-products, selling them, and making them.
Because she still has work to do in other games. The reason the game was expanded was to give more people a variety of powers, not to allow only Riena to play a big role.
‘Are we repairing a collapsed wall?’
There were quite a few people who were already active in real life with the abilities they had acquired in the game world. My gaze was directed to the southern wall of the village where there had been a collision with a bug just moments ago.
The fence, made of cubic stone blocks, had many cracks or broken places. Maureen, the transporter, was there with his juniors as well as Kun, who had been learning the characteristics of miners.
“—.”
They made full use of their abilities to repair the fence. Kun, a miner, held a pickaxe and swung at the damaged fence to dig up stone blocks, and the movers filled the empty space with new stone blocks.
In that way, they repaired damaged sections of the tens of meters long wall in the blink of an eye.
‘It’s a fraud.’
The warriors who learn the skills of the occupations in the game and fire wildly are definitely fraudulent, but I thought the abilities related to resource gathering were also fraudulent.
That ability, which can be used not only in the game world but also in real life, was an incredible power that defied the laws of physics.
“hahahaha.”
I chuckled and took a screenshot of the village scenery and saved it. Those who lived in the grasslands and built tents probably did not have much building skills.
However, as the number of transporters and miners continued to learn skills in the game world, things gradually began to change.
At first, there were only walls and watchtowers, but as time passed, houses, warehouses, and other facilities were built using blocks such as stones and trees collected from the game world.
Although it was closer to a crude container or box than a proper house, this strange sight where a tent house and a square block house coexisted. I can’t help but take a picture.
‘Should I show that it can be built in various ways?’
Although my building skills are poor, I was able to follow the various buildings made by old people by watching the strategy video. It may be a useful reference for those building a house for the first time.
Although the work increased again, it was something I could work happily at this level.
‘The bugs won’t come in again and again.’
While looking around the village, I flipped the screen and started looking around other places. Although they were revealed through the residents’ activities such as reconnaissance and conquest, they were neutral lands that were not recognized as friendly territory because there were no friendly forces present there.
Of course, the same applies to the village that was recently occupied, brought in, and destroyed. The place was literally littered with clutter, as the residents had moved in with all the things they needed.
‘What is that?’
But there was a group of people there. What surprised me was that I saw red borders on their bodies.
It was said that it was an enemy that could not be denied.
“—?”
“–…”
Among them riding a horse, a rough-looking man who appeared to be the leader spoke to someone. Then the warrior who asked his question was embarrassed and answered.
[Garhan’s Warrior Ksai]
“Garhan, no way.”
Looking at the information, I found out that his identity was a warrior sent by Garhan. The Ornn tribe that the residents attacked were those who followed Warchief Garhan. When I thought about it, it was only natural that the other party would send an investigation team to investigate this attack. It is clear that if there are people who escape the battle alive, our information will be sent to them.
In a world where conquerors and plunderers run rampant, war never ends. It was an ordeal that we had to continue to face as we grew bigger.
“It’s us against the world”
