[Secure Human Corps (Command)

There is a skilled army in front of you. Let them realize who their real master is. The Old One’s followers shouldn’t be left behind. Keep in mind that the fate of the human corps is in the hands of Doom Man.

If you succeed: The order to attack your mainland, which was under the jurisdiction of Doom Caso, will be suspended.

If you fail: As planned, your mainland and the human corps will be sacrificed to the almighty Doom Kaos and those under its command, Doom Arukuda and Doom Entegasto. Therefore, you will need to find and train new corps in different dimensions.]

This was the reason why I had modified the spontaneous System as much as possible. This was why I had repeatedly emphasized to everyone to not consider the System as a person. The System was just a system. It wasn’t supposed to be treated by names such as God or the Old One as it had brought destruction to us in the past.

It was hard to find the System’s followers now, so it was easy to carry out my command. The long-cherished work had been stipulated and guaranteed.

Yes!

A second command arrived shortly afterward.

[Remove the Guide Lumah-le (Command)

An attempt to regain your power that had been granted from the Old One has been detected. In order to completely block this, the Guide Lumah-le must be destroyed. Also, this will be the first step on your journey to secure the Doom Man’s innate power.

If you succeed: The Old One will give up on your mainland and flee. You will secure the common power ‘Gate Creation.’

If you fail: The human corps will be at stake depending on the Old One’s will.]

[Command in progress

1. Secure Human Corps.

2. Remove the Guide Lumah-le.]

Those were the only two commands I received.

[Please select the location of your revival.

1. Where you died

2. Near your Life Vessel

3. Recommended spot]

Near my Life Vessel!

A stench that I hadn’t smelled for a long time hit my nose. To normal people, it would be just the smell of sweat and blood, but it was a scent that made me realize that I was alive.

“Status window.”

[Name: Incarnation Na Seon-Hu

Level: 600 (Ender) * Second Round]

Incarnation?

For now, nothing had changed from the past other than the fact that the section name that used to be ‘Challenger’ was now ‘Ender,’ which meant the man who reached the end. There was also a message that told me to distribute my stats. My inventory was empty, but it was available for me to use.

Even the Old One was unable to recover the power that it already granted to me before and ignore the system that had been already established. There was an order that must be kept even for those who seemed to be able to do anything.

Anyway, right when my eyes were fixed on the term ‘incarnation,’ something happened.

Incarnation? Incarnation! Incarnation…

“...!”

It felt like an ice pick was piercing my skull, and the pain radiated all over my head. I didn’t miss this suffering at all. The pain spread quickly in a few seconds and throbbed, reminding me of the time of my death. It wasn’t because of the physical pain. Instead, it was because it felt similar to the shock I received during the battle against Doom Dejire.

When I felt an intolerable pressure on my mentality, I suddenly remembered the moment I was attacked by Doom Dejire’s ‘Mental Separation,’ which had activated my Man who Overcomes Adversity. Within seconds, the ache became a pain, and pain became fear. It was obvious that Doom Kaos’ eyes were watching me.

“Aaaaaaah…”

[Would you like to use the common power ‘Main Body Descent?’]

I only had one thought at the moment.

“Ah… No. Nooooo!”

No, not the main body!

***

I struggled in the marsh without realizing it. When I came back to my senses, I swept a hand down my face and a handful of mud fell off. Mud came out from my nostrils when I blew my nose and more came out from my ears when I scratched.

I understood now why I had wailed in agony when Doom Dejire had pulled me out of my body. Just briefly experiencing Doom Kaos's power had left me feeling mentally disoriented, so the pain that followed as it consumed my entire body was unbearable and indescribable.

It wasn’t just painful. I simply didn’t exist anymore. Neither Na Seon-Hu, nor Odin, nor Ethan were present. All disappeared, except Doom Man, who was a faithful slave of Doom Kaos. I was certain that this would happen.

Right then, a crowd of people ran toward me after hearing my scream.

[The opponent has failed to see through you.]

[The opponent has failed to see through you.]



[The opponent has failed to see through you.]

There were fifteen who tried to see through me out of nowhere. It was clear that the Maruka’s plague had spread among the group, as small tentacles were seen wriggling in their wounds.

Defeat was written on their faces. These soldiers tried to surround me, but soon formed a defense formation. Then, they became busy exchanging glances after they saw me in my naked state.

One of them stepped forward quickly.

“I’m so sorry. I thought you were the enemy… We will escort you outside.”

He was calculating how many benefits he would get from me as I seemed to be on a higher level than him. They were desperate for my help. Their protective barriers had been exhausted a while ago, and they didn’t have any insignias inside their torn and destroyed breastplates.

The leader of them was quite impatient for my answer, so he went on straight ahead. He squeezed out a voice in an attempt to convince me that they were still strong and robust.

“There must be insignia warehouses in that direction. If we reach there, then there won’t be any problem joining the main camp,” he said while pointing at the back.

He was basically asking me to take them there.

“Haha,” I laughed.

He continued, “We are squad members of the Lord of Heaven. We shouldn’t delay more time. Do you need help?”

The Lord of Heaven… That was what people called Zhang Weilong, one of the owners of the five seats in the semicircle.

A few days had already passed since Yeon-Hee had killed him, but they clearly had no idea that had happened. In the meantime, they must have wandered around Orca’s territory.

Their group had started in the thousands, but there were only fifteen now. Seeing that their limbs were intact, it looked like they had abandoned the seriously injured fellows. I could hear the groans from the distance when I increased my Sense a bit.

I got up, and their eyes naturally turned to my chest. However, I also didn’t have any insignias as I had been born anew after I died.

It was time to subdue them and join Yeon-Hee. Things happened behind them.

Whoosh-

Thick tentacles soared vertically as if they were blocking their retreat. They had risen to the point where I had to tilt my head back to see the end of them. Every time they wriggled, muddy water poured down like a shower.

The Awakened reacted quickly, but tentacles were soaring everywhere. More tentacles grew faster than the speed at which they threw themselves in all directions. Several bodies split into two and fell in front of me. A guy who had been penetrated and stuck at the end of the tentacle was floating in the air.

The previous group of fifteen now numbered nine, and they gathered around me. Then, they looked at me earnestly with a little hope. However, it wasn’t my name that popped out of their mouths.

“O…”

“O… Orca!”

Orca appeared like an incarnation of evil, but it didn’t walk out. It slowly climbed out of the water, and its two eyes glistened within its mud-covered, hideous face. The tentacles in its jawline contained more dignity and fear than before.

The group of people definitely had a hunch that they wouldn’t get out alive at that moment. I could feel their despair. The sticky and dark energy was already singing the funeral march.

The leader bumped into me while backing up.

“Uh… what are you going to do? Give us orders! Fuck! Orders!” he screamed.

He meant to fight with them instead of having them just stare at him stupidly.

When Orca narrowed the distance toward me, their tremors went out of control.

Orca stood in front of me, and the others scrambled to the opposite side. They looked at me and Orca at the same time and became confused. It seemed unbearable to them that nothing was happening. A groan came out of their mouths as if they were suffering from terrible pain.

“Aaaah…”

I pointed at them with my chin to Orca. “Overpower them, but don’t kill them.”

I wanted to slash all of their throats as they had gathered to kill Yeon-Hee, but I had to suppress my anger. I had to keep the killing to a minimum.

There was a contract I had signed in exchange for the safety of mankind. It wasn’t just the command to ‘Secure Human Corps.’ Doom Kaos would also instruct me to do whatever he had made the other Dooms that were under his control do before.

It was a lamentable fact that it needed an army to invade other dimensions. Therefore, people like these guys were supposed to die there. They wouldn’t realize, but it would be a meaningful death as it would guarantee… the safety of humanity…

***

The scenery reminded me of the Final Stage of the past. Even at that time, limbs had also protruded above the surface of the wetland like weeds. Also, the battles never stopped here which was similar to that time as well.

Those who were targeting Yeon-Hee were willing to take any risk as the time limit was almost over. Yes, the time limit had ended now, and the quest would have been removed as no one had succeeded. However, those in the area continued to fight. I picked up the abandoned defensive tools around me.

The area where Yeon-Hee was in charge of was the busiest place. The last scene I saw before the revival phase began was when Yeon-Hee was being confronted by the attack squad made up of only Awakened with mental attributes.

They had now changed as if they were fanatics who served the god of slaughter. The scene was chaotic, as the eyes of those present were filled with madness, their mouths were overflowing with blood, and their creepy laughs made chills run down the spines of everyone around them.

Yeon-Hee was standing at the end of one tentacle and looking down at the sight of the other Awakened killing each other. She had a hand on her forehead to press down on a throbbing nerve.

I stood in front of her on the same tentacle, and Yeon-Hee looked up at me just by moving her eyes and not changing her expression. Her eyes were red, but it was not because of Night Eye. Countless blood vessels in her eye were standing out such that her entire eyeballs looked so bloodshot as if they had been encroached by swarms of parasites.

However, Yeon-Hee began to rub her forehead instead of her eyes as if she was trying to stop something from jumping out of there.

“...Doom Man’s incarnation has entered. Did you know about that?” Yeon-Hee asked.

I responded, “The outside is safe now. Your family, my family, and the entire human race.”

“... It’s not the price of your sacrifice, right?”

“Yes, it is.”

Yeon-Hee closed her eyes tightly. I hugged her face and then pulled her toward my chest.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

“I’m the Doom Man. I will take care of the rest, so get some rest.”
