73 – Great offer. Won’t you become a fanatic too?
After shopping, we headed straight to the mental hospital where there are fanatics.
Even from a distance, the concrete building gave off an ominous aura.
“Well, something is creepy.”
Holding a pair of white pistols, Eunbyeol Kim muttered in an uneasy voice.
The original psychiatric hospital is also somewhat unpleasant.
The psychiatric hospital in the destroyed world was broken and worn out here and there.
Abandoned building with broken windows and dirty things on the walls.
It’s gloomy, as if a ghost would come out.
‘It would be better if only ghosts appeared.’
This is the home of the evil god’s cult.
Surely there will be fanatics in there.
According to additional information obtained from the Hatter, they are also performing a ritual.
‘A ritual?’
‘Well, to put it bluntly, it’s a sacrifice.’
‘What do I do with it?’
‘In return, the evil spirit supports its worshipers. It’s a mutually beneficial relationship.’
Fanatics and sacrifices.
It’s a story that makes you feel bad just listening to it.
Even the sacrificials they were referring to were players like us.
Even if it’s not a quest, it means that they need to be dealt with.
“Can’t you still use the ability?”
“Yes, there are no buffs or healing.”
After all, that must be the home of fanatics.
I haven’t even entered the building yet, but the power of the evil spirit has become even stronger.
[Currently, this place has been declared the realm of evil spirits!]
[Players are restricted from using class abilities!]
[The use of the player’s characteristic ability is restricted!]
[Every player feels a slight sense of dread!]
[The attribute ‘Metafiction’ ignores the influence of evil spirits!]
I don’t feel any fear thanks to ‘Metafiction’.
Hyena and Kim Eunbyeol’s complexion slightly deteriorated.
Still, both players survived to this day.
I didn’t even try to run away like this.
“Then shall we go right in?”
“yes!”
I took the lead, followed by Hye-na, and finally Kim Eun-byeol followed.
Fortunately, the boundaries were not as strict as expected.
We sneaked into the building through the back door.
Upon entering, the ominous aura became more apparent.
“……It looks like a horror game setting.”
Hearing Hyena’s muttering, I nodded as well.
The hospital corridor was dark without a single light.
Shards of windows and broken lights are everywhere.
Above all, the blood on the floor and walls.
It seems that there has already been a lot of fighting here.
Then, a quest suddenly appeared in front of us.
＜Quest＞
Name: Salvation to the Victims
Type: Event Quest
Difficulty: C
Contents
-You have entered the stronghold of the fanatics who serve evil spirits.
-Currently, good people are being held here to be used as sacrifices.
– Destined to be dedicated to evil spirits, break them and save them.
Reward: Reliability of angelic deities, 200 coins per opponent saved
‘It’s as expected that there are more captives. I didn’t know that the quest would appear.’
We are not the only players in this zone.
I thought there might be more people to be used as sacrifices.
But to be given a quest to save them.
Was this given by a godhead who is hostile to evil spirits?
‘Come to think of it, I said that there would be support from a god who opposes evil spirits in quests.’
I assumed that they would simply sponsor coins.
Surprisingly, it seems possible to intervene in various ways.
“Did everyone get the quest?”
“Yes, I guess it makes sense to save the other victims. It’s according to Jihoon’s strategy.”

Kim nodded at Eunbyul’s words.
Of course, I didn’t forget to ask properly.
“But the most important thing is the safety of the two of you. Never sacrifice yourself to save others.”
As I spoke, I swung a baseball bat.
– Jjaeong!
One of the fanatics sneaking up behind Kim Eun-byeol broke his jaw and flew away.
“…Because this place won’t be easy enough to take care of others.”
A situation in which jobs and characteristics are sealed.
It’s like living hell for players.
“There he is!”
“Catch the intruders!”
A group of fanatics we found came running.
I immediately ran out and swung my baseball bat.
[Used the skill, ‘Smash of the Mountain God’!]
[Consumes 50 mana!]
Just like that, two or three fanatics flew away at once.
As expected, the weapon is good, so the taste is different.
“Smash of the Mountain God” is an effect that is always contained in a weapon.
It has absolutely nothing to do with my job or characteristics.
It means that it can be used even in the realm of evil spirits!
‘Of course, in the past, I wouldn’t have been able to use the skill recklessly like this.’
‘Strike’ is definitely powerful, but it is a skill that consumes 50 mana.
Thanks to this, in the past, I only used it against bosses, and even with final blows.
However, now that they have grown up, it is possible to mix and match them several times during a fight.
“damn! How can we get this much power in our holy land!”
“This is heresy! Heresy has appeared!”
The zealots shouted in bewilderment at the sight I showed them.
I took the tom and hit a few more people.
‘They both fight better than I thought.’
I secretly looked at Hye-na and Kim Eun-byeol fighting from behind.
“Grow up.”
“Aww! sorry! sorry! But don’t come!”
Hyena shows off her quick movements like a cat and makes good use of her weapons.
Even Kim Eun-byeol, who steadily shoots with a frightened expression and defeats the fanatics.
At first, I thought it would be enough if I could protect myself.
Both are doing their part diligently.
‘Is there something different about a player who got a good job?’
It seems that the stats of the two are higher than I thought.
If there were job skills here, it would have been easy to attack.
Feeling a bit disappointed, I also worked hard to defeat the fanatics.
In an instant, unconscious fanatics piled up in the hallway.
[Some deities show interest in your performance!]
[‘God’s right seat’ sponsored 30 coins!]
‘…Finally, he’s paying attention to me too.’
Perhaps it was because of the madness in the stronghold of the fanatics.
For the first time, the messages of the Godheads came to my mind.
Right now, at most, 30 coins are all.
As time goes on, I’m sure I’ll be able to get even more support.
It was a time when he was killing fanatics, feeling that things were going well beyond expectations.
“I came here because it was noisy. You’ve had some pretty amazing guests.”
“Go, executive!”
“The executive is here! Everyone be polite!”
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps along with a voice.
When I turned my head, there were more fanatics than before.
‘This is a mountain beyond the mountain.’
What stood out in particular was the man in the gown.
Dressed in black and reminiscent of a pastor, he had a distinctly different atmosphere from other fanatics.
First of all, I don’t feel the madness characteristic of a fanatic from his expression.
Talking there was normal, unlike the others.
‘I’m sure the other guys called executives, right?’
Among fanatics, I thought the only thing to be wary of was the religious leader.
Is there more we don’t know?
‘Eyes of truth!’
I tried using the skill just in case.
Then, to my surprise, information appeared in front of me.
＜Player Information＞
Name: Jo Min-seong
Occupation: Worshiper of evil spirits
Attribute: Intermediate Fighting Skills of the Fallen
＜characteristic information＞
Name: Intermediate Martial Arts of the Fallen
Description: A characteristic possessed by those who train their bodies and become somewhat proficient in combat. The owner can exert more powerful power by receiving the protection of evil spirits.
The fact that the name and information are displayed properly… … .
“What, are you a player?”
“Oh, do you have a search skill? It looks like you didn’t come in without thinking.”
Jo Min-seong, the executive of the fanatics, drew a disgusting smile.
Even if you are a player, if you have made a contract with an evil god, the story is a little different.
“Yes, I was originally an ordinary player. The evil god valued me highly, and now I have become his good servant.”
Probably like the gods sponsoring the player.
It seems that evil spirits can contract with players and give them power.
I don’t know how much power it will give.
Still, it must be much stronger than the average player.
After all, this is their home.
It wouldn’t be strange to say that since it’s the realm of an evil god, it can generate even stronger power.
‘Even so, I’m not the kind of opponent I’d lose to… … .’
The problem is that there are too many fanatics behind them.
I can now beat boss monsters in the one-on-one realm.
But that’s the strength that comes from high stats.
There is no overwhelming swordsmanship like Yuri.
You can’t blow enemies all at once using range skills like magicians.
If you are going to knock down one person, you must swing the baseball bat once.
Although there is a ‘Smash of the Mountain God’.
It wasn’t even a skill that could blow 10 people away at once.
‘Thanks to the monster eater, I didn’t get tired when fighting zombies, but that’s not the case against fanatics.’
I don’t know if I’m alone, but it might be a little difficult to fight while protecting the two.
It’s earlier than planned, but should we start the operation?
I was thinking about that.
“I want to take care of all the heretics right here, but don’t worry. Our evil spirit is full of mercy.”
“benevolence?”
My eyes narrowed at the inappropriate words.
“I don’t know why, but our god seems to be interested in you.”
“…Are you talking about evil spirits?”
“hahahaha! Yes. He said that if he converts even now and gives his allegiance to the evil god, he will do all the work he has done so far, and even guarantee a position as a high-ranking official and a huge reward.”
…It was hard for my head to follow the sudden suggestion.
It’s not like I’m suggesting you become an oni.
What is this all of a sudden?
“Our New Territory wants strong players to serve it. There are so many scum in this world who don’t know how great he is yet.”
“So you want me to become your follower?”
“It wouldn’t be a bad suggestion for you either.”
Jo Min-sung held out his hand.
“If you become our believer, you can do anything. Money, fame, and even women. The women behind you should also be sacrificed in their pure state, but this time, you are allowed to do as you please! It doesn’t matter if you tie it to the bed and dirty it as much as you like!”
at the same time he speaks.
Another quest window popped up in front of my eyes.
