(EP.187) #3 on the spot
187 – In their respective places #3
My evolution was done in stealth like a thief over a fence.
Midnight, when many people are asleep, to be exact, 1 am, just after midnight.
In the dormitory room, which was exceptionally calm as the air had calmed down, I chose my own career path. It goes like a kind of reverent ceremony, and it even feels sober.
“Status window.”
As I recite the boring but intuitive lines, several letters come to mind. I clicked on one of them.
Woo woo woo woo-.
Soon my body was enveloped in a strange swarm of lights.
For a moment, the beads of light resembling fireflies gather around me. Soon, my body was greeted with a strange heat that I had never felt before.
“Ugh.”
It felt like my heart was pounding and blood rushed through my body to my fingertips and toes. My body trembles greatly at that sudden body change.
My face touches the soft carpet on the floor that is approaching my nose.
I realized that my body had fallen over, but I couldn’t do anything but grabbed my chest.
“Ugh… .”
It was as if my body had become a furnace.
thump, thump.
The beating heart beats my head and ears like a hammer hitting my body.
It wasn’t painful or painful, but it felt like all the senses in my body had been maximized.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Na Tae Oh Gospel’s options and systems, all volume and sensitivity, all the way to the top right corner feels exactly the same as it is now.
Panic to find the most similar word.
ㅡToday, I’ll just go to bed and sleep.
-Why are there so many things to deal with-.
thump-.
-Ah, the guy upstairs is starting again. Let’s be quiet.
The dormitory, which I thought was only quiet, feels noisy.
It took a while for me to feel like there were so many sounds coming and going even on a quiet night.
All of those sounds soon began to ring in my ears, and my eyes suddenly went dark.
* * *
“… … .”
When I woke up, I was in a quiet and quiet place. It was a very clean place without a single noise, as if the murmuring up until now was a lie.
Where are you?
I felt relieved and embarrassed at the same time. It was because I was in an unfamiliar place I had never seen for the first time, who had collapsed in my dormitory.
I think it’s the first time I’ve felt this way since the moment I suddenly entered Tae-oh’s body one day.
swish.
I looked around.
visitation visitation.
The place where I am now is a very shallow sea that submerges up to my ankles.
Yes. It was an open sea.
The sea level, where the black sun was rising, was very quiet because there were no waves.
“ah.”
– Ah.
My voice echoes so much that it rings.
Where are you? is it a dream
That was then.
Something suddenly appeared in front of me, laid out in a wide world.
─Dudong.
door.
It was a door. I don’t know when it has been in front of me, but a door that doesn’t suit me at all is standing in the air.
It was dubious, but there wasn’t much I could do in this vast realm. So I splashed into the shallow waters and reached for the door.
Interesting profit-.
The door finally opens.
And what I found in it was a ruin-like space and a wonderful throne, beautifully crafted of granite and marble.
A huge chair shining like starlight was very coveted, as if all the treasures of this world were put together, but when I found something sitting on it, I was terribly surprised.
It was something very complicated and distorted.
Something whose form is not recognizable-.
With the black sun set against its head like a crown, it was very large, and it looked very blasphemous because it was skinny and still in the form of a vaguely human figure.
At the same time, the reverentially raised cross-legged seat and the hand-signs held by countless hands seemed sacred. It’s strange that they exist at the same time with opposite attributes.
But the thing that bothered me the most was not the intricate gestures of existence, but the mouths that sprouted like torn wounds all over his body.
─Whoa, murmur.
All kinds of mumbled stories were so negative that there were only a few words that I could barely understand.
Still, I could tell that he was predicting an uncertain future. He’s a monster that sings of an uncertain and uncertain future… .
babble.
Did you notice that I was shaking?

Goo-.
Sitting cross-legged on a grand throne, it looks at me. I felt like I was going to be crushed by a presence that was several times bigger than me, so I wanted to scream.
“–.”
But what leaks out of my wide open mouth is an awful silence.
Thanks to you, my impatience went up to the tip of my head.
Qooo-.
When I saw the giant palms pointing towards me, I felt the blood rushing up from my body and my hair spitting out, as if bubbles were coming out of my mouth.
I need to get out of here!
“Guaac-!”
As he squeezed all the strength of his body, an unsightly sound erupted from his mouth. Of course, there was no time for me to worry about that, so I fled vigorously with a body that was moving little by little.
whoops.
A huge hand that keeps chasing me.
The problem was that my hands were chasing me much faster than I was running hard.

Couldn’t my half-nymph legs be able to outrun him? If I had known it would be like this, I would have worked harder at the leap Elgar instructed!
The moment I thought I was finally caught in the giant hand, something creaked loudly.
Scream, chul-rul-.
It was only then that I realized that it had huge chains wrapped around its body as it sat on the throne. It was a chain that looked very thick and strong.
It became a restraint and bound his body to the throne, so his fingertips barely touched my body.
“You look good!”
When I breathe a sigh of relief. I wondered if I could hear the sound of the joints breaking, and his hands got a little longer.
Ah, this will be caught forever. With that thought in mind, I closed my eyes tightly.
Puff, Puff.
I could flap my body like a carp pulled out of the water.
At the same time, something bluntly hits my head.
thud-!
“Hey-!”
An ugly scream came out of my mouth, but it started to clear my mind. When I opened my eyes to the pain in my head, my body was lying on the floor of the dormitory.
Sweat was dripping all over his body and his forehead was boiling as if he had a fever.
It was probably the corner of the bed that had her head nailed.
My forehead was aching, but it was tolerable.
Was it a dream?
what was that just
I felt like I had a terrible dream, but as usual with dreams and nightmares, after waking up, only the vague consciousness of ‘I had a dream like that’ remained as an afterimage.
What was it?
just a nightmare?
It is often the case that a feverish head presents a nightmare. But to dismiss it as just a dream, it was absolutely ominous.
Would a great wizard, Hynax or Kasim, know what I saw? Before I forget what I saw in my dream, I thought it would be good to write it down in a notebook or paper.
Those strange murmurs that flowed from countless mouths-.
The only words I could understand were negative fragments of fear, chaos, and despair.
“after-.”
Anxiety and worry escaped from my body in the form of a sigh. Only then did one thing pop into my mind.
Was the former good?
“Status window.”
Diling-.

The newly created letters welcome my eyes.
It’s the Soma King.
funny If it’s just a demon king, then why are you putting a cow in front of it?
“It’s subtle.”
iffy.
Still, if there is one thing that makes me feel good, a new talent has blossomed.
From the name 《Special Privilege: Demon King》. It smelled like something was there, so I guess I’ll have to check it out.
Hold on.
I pressed the letters floating in the air with my fingers. Then, like a pop-up window, the letters appeared in front of my eyes.
「Talent 《Special Privilege: Demon King》: A reward skill given when a specific job is unlocked. For the owner of this skill, the total amount of magical power is greatly corrected, and the activation and power of the spell also increases significantly.”
It’s a skill that greatly increases the amount and power of magic. The hot blood boiling over my body seemed to prove it.
Finally, I have a great combat-related job. Being an actor, a half-elf, a teaching assistant, or a naughty job, honestly, is not suitable for combat.
But the reason I didn’t run around with excitement was because the letters didn’t end there.
“The probability toward a tragic fate is corrected by the negative karma of a specific profession.”
this.
This seems to be similar to Aira’s talent 《Genius》. Instead of boasting great stats and effects, should it be said that that much penalty is given?
It was something I was prepared for, but when I saw it in person like this, the back of my head started to feel tingly.
I became the half-nymph Soma King.
There will be only me in the world who is such a trivial demon king.

“Sir Tae-oh, it looks like you have reached the fifth rank.”
The next day, I went to see Hynax the Whitebeard, my magic teacher and member of the Society of the Sages.
Hynax was growing bonsai in his private office. It looked a little messy as the thin branches were cut with scissors and fell to the floor.
“If you’re busy, will you come back later?”
“No, it’s over.”
The bonsai, with its neatly arranged branches, was small, but as magnificent as the antlers of a deer.
I was frankly admiring because it was clear that it would not have been easy to grow a tree that grows on its own like that.
“awesome.”
“Oh, you know this cool thing? That’s pretty good for a young man. It took me quite a while to get here.”
The old wizard stroked his beard with satisfaction.
“Now that the twigs have been pruned, they will grow well. yes, anyway. Tae Oh. From the looks of it, it seems that he has surpassed the 4th rank of the devil and became an Archmage of the 5th rank.”
“It seems so. Anyway, that’s why I came here because I have something to say to the wise man.”
Hynax mumbled at my story and nodded his head up and down.
“Very great. To reach the 5th rank in such a short period of time. That’s great. Also, our eyes were not wrong.”
Sage Hyenax rejoiced in my achievements as if it was his own work.
“The curriculum devised by our sages and the exploration of the dungeon must have been of great help. Isn’t it?”
“I cannot deny it.”
“Yes, yes. Even so, it’s an unprecedented speed. I knew it would take at least a few years. So what do I wonder about, young wizard?”
In response to Hynax’s question, I told him what happened last night. Even the fact that there was a door to the sea where the black sun had risen.
As I tried to explain further, the sage, who had just been showing a kind expression, calmed his expression.
“… Have you ever opened that door?”
