Going Into the Game With an Instant Death Skill chapter 7

“············”.

After only two words, a cold silence settled in the conference hall.

It was next to fill the space with a terrifying pressure.

“How dare you say that it’s a hole in your mouth….”

coo coo.

The thunderbolt spit sparks all over his body, and he stared at me with eyes full of murderous intent.

Because my just remarks were ignoring that I could kill as many as she could, depending on what I accepted.

‘…is this living?’

A tingling sensation all over the body.

I calmly accepted the life of such a brainstorm and kept my expressionless expression.

The pressure was felt, but there was no mental or emotional agitation, perhaps thanks to the spirit of the king.

Rather than avoiding a fight, there was a reason that made the atmosphere more bloody.

It was aimed at the overlord’s intervention.

I said that I would accept a duel if it was okay to kill the opponent, and Thunderhu was completely enraged at the provocation. It was a much more intense reaction than I expected.

If such a plate was created that neither side would end properly, the Overlord would not be able to allow a fight… Wouldn’t it?

‘Dry him quickly.’

The atmosphere was brutal, as if a lightning bolt was about to hit the seat I was sitting in at any moment.

It was too soon, and when I felt a little regret, the overlord opened his mouth.

“stop.”

A slightly harsher voice than before.

Afterwards, his brain calmly calmed his energy. He was still staring at me though.

“There’s nothing I can do about it. It’s not going to be a light duel at all, right?”

The overlord, who returned with an innocent voice, smiled brightly as if to relieve the atmosphere.

I breathed a deep sigh of relief.

I’m glad it went through safely.

The other monarchs, who did not know the secrets of others, seemed to regret that they missed out on good things to see.

“Well, anyway, I don’t really care.”

Gwangrang smiled and said.

“I don’t think he’s as vulgar as that vampire. Appointment of a monarch is the authority of an overlord anyway, so can we hear our opinions?”

“Why do I fall again while I’m still?”

The blood king clicked his tongue and muttered.

The newcomer also glanced at me and stepped forward to help.

“It’s sudden, but I don’t doubt the eyes of the Overlord. Also, as it is said, the 7th monarch’s seat can’t be left empty forever.

Except for the thunderbolt, there seemed to be no monarch who showed any dissatisfaction.

Rather than agreeing, they were just not interested, or because the overlord’s intentions were clear, they seemed to accept them without saying much.

But I haven’t agreed to accept it yet, so why is the atmosphere already confirmed?

‘·······It is so.’

He is the lord of Calderic.

It was the pinnacle of Calderic’s power, one of the four major powers of the continent. Who would normally refuse such a position?

The problem was that I didn’t really have the ability to be a monarch at all.

Until now, thanks to how things fit together, everyone has a huge misunderstanding about my abilities, but the truth is that even the lowest guard guarding the castle gates can’t do it.

How long may this luck last?

If you accepted the overlord’s offer and became the 7th lord, then you would have crossed a river of no return.

‘But if you refuse…’

It was also a risky option.

It wasn’t my will, but anyway, I thought I’d make an enemy in Calderic, and I came to the Overlord’s Castle and even attended the monarch’s meeting.

And the overlord offered him the best possible conditions.

What kind of reaction will you get if you come to this yard now and say you want to step out?

Perhaps that friendly attitude of the Overlord could quickly turn into hostility. Do you dare to deceive yourself?

I didn’t know if it would be a stupid rant to check it out for myself, or if it was the right choice to avoid the worst.

‘Should I ask for time to think?’

my mind is confused

Wouldn’t it be better to postpone the decision even a little?

Then Gwangrang looked at me and opened his mouth.

“By the way, it’s a pity. I promised earlier in front of the meeting room that we would meet again anytime. If you become a monarch like this, that’s too bad.”

When did you make that promise?

And when I became a monarch, I couldn’t do that either, I wondered what that meant, but then I understood.

Come to think of it, was there a setting in Calderic that battles between monarchs were strictly prohibited?

It is the minimum rule for monarchs with very strong individual tendencies to coexist without major clashes.

“I hate endings in moderation, too. At least it’s a proper duel until just before one of them loses, isn’t it? I thought I’d get along just fine with you, but it’s a waste.”

“············”.

A terrible possibility suddenly came to mind at the bloody sound of laughter.

If you turn down the position of lord, even after the meeting is over, that crazy monster might be excited to start a fight.

Even in the first meeting, he held a sword to his neck without any trouble, so it was full of possibilities.

Is that all? Even now, he was staring at me with eyes that seemed to eat him at any moment. It’s much more dangerous over there.

If you choose the option of refusal, you will have to worry from the day after the meeting is over.

Acceptance and Rejection.

Either way, it’s the worst and worst choice. It’s like on a convoy.

I regretted that I should not have brought the situation to this point again.

Did I have to somehow escape from this damn castle before facing the Overlord?

············ But regrets were useless, and time forced me to make a choice without waiting for the slightest bit.

“Now, only Sir Ron’s answer remains.”

The final declaration of the overlord.

“As overlord of Calderik, I will make a formal proposal to the Lord. Would you like to take over the 7th monarch seat?”

In the midst of a quiet silence descending on the conference hall, and the attention of all the lords of the round table.

I finally made up my mind and opened my mouth with half resignation.

“······· Accept it.”

organize

Even after the full-fledged meeting started, I continued to sit in the meeting hall.

Of course, he was talking about things he didn’t know, but he never interrupted and opened his mouth.

After the meeting was over, it was now that we returned to our room after discussing the dinner party in the evening and our future plans.

“under.”

He sat down on the bed, stared blankly into the air, and smirked.

······The 7th Lord of Calderic.

From now on, that’s me.

Just a few hours ago, living a normal life and suddenly becoming a monarch, there was no such advancement in career.

Although it is not possible to know at all how many names are left as of this moment.

Calderic’s territory can be broadly divided into ten regions: the Central Overlord Territory and the 1st to 9th Monarchy Territories surrounding him.

The monarchs were not just monarchs for nothing, but they were the beings who ruled and ruled over the vast lands, each of which was like a kingdom.

Now that I became the 7th monarch, I was also in a position to have all the power over the 7th monarchy, ‘Enrok’.

This was possible because the throne of Calderic was only determined by the appointment of the overlord without any succession of blood and blood.

But that does not mean that the nine lords swear absolute allegiance to the overlords.

Although the overlord is the head and center of the monarchs, as we saw in the meeting, the relationship between them was more like a horizontal contractual relationship than a vertical one.

With a few fixed conditions, monarchs are free to act regardless of anything.

The reason why such a bizarre structure can be made and maintained is that I remember reading about the setting book related to the origin of Calderik.

I remember that the explanation was written in quite detail, but the only thing that comes to mind is this.

Because the Overlord’s abilities are that great, and the power itself has naturally solidified over the years under such power.

Some of the current monarchs have already spent more than a hundred years with the overlord, and in particular, the first monarch has been reigning as a monarch for hundreds of years since the establishment of Calderik.

The system that continued under such long ties was in some ways stronger than the typical monarchy of the Seintea Empire.

‘······Things like that are good.’

Where the hell did you get this twisted?

After a brief series of regrets, I suddenly felt funny.

Where did you get twisted?

What did I do, how did I sleep, and from this situation in the game I got into the game in the first place?

I got out of bed and picked up an apple-like fruit from the basket on the table.

I took a big bite and the sweet juice of Mooni spread all over my mouth.

It tasted slightly different from the usual apple taste, but it tasted good anyway.

I didn’t even think about what to eat because of this situation, but I’ve been on an empty stomach since before.

I ate some fruit in an instant due to the rush of hunger, and then I leaned back in the chair and sat down.

‘There is nothing complicated to think about.’

I crossed a river of no return anyway.

Do I needlessly regret every single thing and lament the situation?

It goes without saying that preparing for and preparing for the future is far more productive.

As soon as I made up my mind, all my sluggish feelings disappeared in an instant.

Thanks to the spirit of the king, it seemed that the cold coldness at the very core of my heart was firmly established so that I would not be shaken at any time.

This is not Earth.

It was not a modern world like the 21st century.

Monsters, robbers, wars, demons… A rough and ferocious land infested with all kinds of dangers and with insignificant values of life.

Ultimately, unless a fundamental way to return to the original reality is found, this fragile life can be threatened in the future.

Moreover, he knew well what dark future awaited in this world.

But there was nothing to be disappointed about.

As one of the most prominent figures in Lhasa, my head contains all kinds of knowledge and information about this world.

It wasn’t that he didn’t have any skills at all.

Don’t you have one with instant death and the soul of the king, one with an instant death and one mental sustainer that exerts an absolute effect?

Of course, it would have been great if this character’s abilities were completely transferred.

Either way, it’s not a bad thing either.

The title of 7th Lord of Calderic.

This is a huge risk for me, but it can also be a strength at the same time.

At least within the realm of Calderik, he would be able to exert absolute power.

It will depend on what you do in the future, but it would definitely be a great advantage to use the information you have to prepare for upcoming risks.

‘By the way, the overlord is….’

A stream of thoughts led to Overlord Rashatain.

The Overlord was an unpredictable person beyond imagination.

I don’t know exactly what she meant for giving me the position of lord, but it wasn’t completely incomprehensible either.

‘It must not have been that I asked for nothing.’

Why did you come to Calderick?

That is the first question the Overlord asked me.

I guess that’s probably not the minimum confirmation.

Because she had the ability to distinguish the truth from the lies of the other person.

My answer that I had no particular purpose must have turned out to be true, so at least I knew I had no impure purpose.

‘Oh, did you know that Ron is a pseudonym?’

At first glance, the Overlord seems to have made a very rough decision, but it was not.

Whatever it was, she was a person with the ability to rule the great power called Calderik for a long time.

It may be that he intends to put him in the position of the monarch for now and slowly watch the details of his abilities.

Well, anyway.

‘For now, do what you can.’

After sorting out all my complicated thoughts, I got up.

It was clear what to do right now.

Organize the information in your head and make plans for the future. First of all, that’s it.

***

“After all, it’s good that you didn’t sit in the middle and left it empty. Isn’t that right, Dayphone?”

Daphon did not respond to Rashatain’s words.

Because I knew I wasn’t really asking for an answer.

But he had the same idea.

Appointing a new monarch is solely the authority of the overlord, but exposing the monarch once appointed is not something she can do as she pleases.

If there had been no empty throne, it would not have been appropriate to give up any other positions to the new master who only appeared today.

“Still, it was a little surprising.”

“Huh, what? You gave up the governorship right away?”

“Sir Ron… Now, I should call you Seven Lords. Anyway, I expected him from the moment I invited him to the meeting.”

Rashatain laughed.

“It was enough to see it once.”

theory.

Thinking about it again, he was truly a strange person.

In particular, she was genuinely surprised when she was spotted by Polymorph.

It was a semi-playful test, but among the successive monarchs, none of them recognized her identity at once, except for the current 3rd monarch, Chun-gung.

Above all, when she reached her level, she was able to see not only the simple external element of the subject, but also a much more essential part.

A supreme soul reminiscent of a king.

He didn’t know any of his true abilities yet, but there was no doubt that at least he was as strong as the other lords.

“And you didn’t see it? That boring expression.”

“············”.
