Chapter 49: Infinite

All eyes were fixed on Seyul, except for his tax rate.

What was the intention behind applauding his competitor?

Everyone, both inside and outside the game, was questioning it.

“I will step down.”

The following words stunned everyone.

“Since I’ve stepped down, you’re the only one left. Now you’re automatically the Demon King.”

However, he added a condition.

“That promise to fight together. Make sure you keep it.”

Rimburn added a condition.

Then, he took a step back, automatically placing Seyul in front.

[What’s going on?]

Confused messages appeared in the chat window.

“Did he eat something wrong?”

Anera, who had been anxiously watching the situation, blinked.

Reality and the game.

Both sides were equally bewildered.

Meanwhile, Aladdin, one of the Five Great Lords, widened his eyes.

‘No way! He managed to bring even Rimburn to his side.’

In truth, Aladdin didn’t care much about this Demon King election.

What mattered to him was avenging the God of Wind, his enemy.

However, if Seyul became the Demon King and controlled all the demons, it would increase his forces, which was a bonus.

That was about the extent of his interest.

Even that was just a bonus, considering the Four Great Lords and 500 high-ranking demons were already engaged in battle.

So, he wasn’t planning on being surprised whether he became the Demon King or not.

But to go beyond becoming the Demon King and even bring the former Demon King, Rimburn, to his side, he couldn’t help but be astonished.

‘I even considered killing Rimburn if he blocked me to the end, but I never imagined this would happen. Is this sudden change of heart because he filled the loneliness of an absolute being?’

Aladdin speculated that Rimburn changed his mind because Seyul said they would fight together.

In fact, that was the reason Rimburn ceded the Demon King’s throne.

The reason he had maintained the Demon King’s position for so long was never by his own will.

Frankly, he was tired of playing the Demon King, opposing the gods.

However, he kept doing it because he thought no one else could become the Demon King.

But now, Seyul, an even stronger being, had appeared.

A being who was willing to help the demons and sincerely said he would even help him.

Upon confirming his sincerity, the hostility he had felt due to the ominous aura and the God of Light melted away, and he thought.

Wouldn’t it be okay to hand over the position to someone like him?

‘Was that overly honest speech earlier to prove that he only speaks the truth? Did this person plan this from the beginning?!’

Aladdin, having grasped Rimburn’s psychology, thought that Seyul had planned everything.

‘I knew his behavior was strange. He was supposed to give a speech, but he said strange things and then talked to Rimburn. From the beginning, he intended to bring Rimburn to his side in this way. While everyone else is focused on the election, he came up with the idea of ​​co-opting his competitor. He’s a scary person!’

Aladdin constantly overestimated Seyul.

But

‘Why is he resigning?’

Seyul himself had no such intention at all.

Seyul stared up at Rimburn, who was resigning, with a blank look.

Seyul, like Aladdin, didn’t care whether he became the Demon King or not.

As he kept saying, he only said he would become the Demon King in a fit of anger.

And he just needed a way to explain the situation to the demons, that the gods were trying to exterminate them, and that he was contributing to the commotion.

‘In the first place, just stating my intentions here already accomplishes my purpose.’

So, he had no intention of co-opting Rimburn.

He was just annoyed that he kept interfering, so he was going to give him some harsh words in front of everyone.

Then, he suddenly grasped the other person’s psychology.

‘I’ve been there before.’

When he accidentally rose to a high position in another world.

Seyul, too, had tried to shoulder a lot of things like Rimburn because of a sense of responsibility.

Trying to take on everything unconditionally isn’t always the answer.

‘She’ advised him to stop, so he quit.

Anyway, thanks to that past, he noticed Rimburn’s psychology.

He just happened to say he would help, but he was flustered when he suddenly stepped down.

“Everyone, listen!”

“A new Demon King is born, you bastards!”

Even the person who inadvertently won the election was flustered.

Not missing this opportunity, the two lords, Richard and Tugui, moved.

“Have you forgotten to congratulate him?”

“Don’t just stand there, at least clap!”

As the two played the role of cheerleaders, the reaction soon changed.

Thunderous applause erupted from among the bewildered demons.

“Long live the new Demon King!”

“The Ruby Warrior.”

“No, the Ruby Demon King?”

“Long live the Ruby Demon King!”

The demons celebrated Seyul grandly.

He had enough power and fame, and he was even recognized by the legendary predecessor.

It was a perfect succession to the throne, so there was no reason for complaints to arise.

[Oh well, whatever!]

As the atmosphere inside the game changed, there were also changes outside.

[Since it’s come to this, there’s no choice]

[We congratulate you too!]

[Long live Demon King Seyul!]

<Huuheueung donated 100,000 won>

[Here’s a tribute]

<Heeheehee donated 500,000 won>

[Alright, let’s go all the way!]

[Demon King Enthronement! Demon King Enthronement!]

[Let’s take this opportunity to side with the demons and massacre the humans!]

As someone said.

If you can’t avoid it, enjoy it.

The viewers decided to enjoy this situation.

<You have become the Demon King!>

System messages also appeared, and with this, Seyul became the perfect Demon King.

The first Demon King in the history of the Warrior of God.

A cafe located a little away from Seyul’s house.

It was a quiet time, so two women were drinking coffee alone.

One was a woman with long black hair tied like a ponytail.

With a pretty face and a slender figure, she could be called a beauty.

The other woman had short brown hair.

This woman was also quite beautiful, but her figure was far superior to the black-haired woman.

From her slender neck to her large breasts and slender waist, etc.

She had a incomparably sexier figure.

The black-haired woman’s name was Haeri.

The brown-haired woman was Seyul’s younger sister, Semi.

“Are you crazy?”

Haeri doubted Semi’s sanity.

But if someone else saw Haeri’s actions now, they would doubt her sanity instead.

The other person was South Korea’s only A-class hunter.

Normally, there was no way a C-class like her could say such a thing to such a person.

However, Haeri had her reasons.

She took out her phone and played a video.

It was a video of a silver-haired girl, beautiful enough to inspire admiration, rampaging in a game.

“So, this Seyul, who’s so hot these days, is actually your brother who saved me, and you tricked him into doing this, so he’s broadcasting now?”

Haeri’s reaction was beyond absurd, almost bordering on terror.

Seyul.

A name that anyone in the industry had to know these days.

He suddenly appeared and showed off overwhelming visuals and skills.

Despite his unique concept of not responding to viewers, he quickly became a major player.

He was a shock and horror to other streamers.

Everyone was keeping a close eye on his actions, even if they didn’t say it.

Haeri was one of them.

Especially since she was a woman, she had lost quite a few viewers.

She watched his broadcasts almost every day, keeping a close eye on him.

‘But this Seyul is actually a super monster who sent a monster that even an A-class hunter struggled with to the afterlife in one blow, and even revives the dead?’

Haeri sweated as she learned the truth about Seyul.

“Semi, aren’t you scared? Even if he’s your brother, how could you think of deceiving someone like that!”

Haeri, becoming fearful, criticized Semi once.

“And you’re even asking me to help you?!”

She shuddered, mentioning the proposal Semi had made after calling her to this cafe.

That’s right.

Semi had called Haeri here.

And after explaining the situation.

She even asked Haeri to help her with this.

“I don’t have anyone to rely on besides Haeri.”

Semi frowned at the more intense rejection than expected.

“Since this isn’t my main job, it’s difficult for me to proceed. That’s why I need Haeri, who knows the situation and is a streamer.”

“It would be less threatening to be in a place where a nuclear bomb is exploding. I can’t participate in such a crazy thing.”

“Don’t do that, think about it again.”

Semi sighed, and even this small movement caused her chest to shake slightly.

“I’m doing this for my brother too. I told you, right? After my brother went to another world, he completely lost the will to do anything.”

Haeri, having heard everything from Semi, nodded.

“I feel sorry for him, but what does that have to do with me helping this scam?”

“It’s better for his mental health to do something than to keep locking himself in the house. I think this is for my brother. And it’s not a scam, I’ll reveal it someday.”

Semi wasn’t planning on deceiving him forever, she planned to reveal it someday.

However, even when she revealed it, she had to achieve as much as possible beforehand.

She was planning to show him the results later and instill self-esteem by saying that it was all achieved by her brother.

“If it goes well, he won’t blame himself anymore. If he achieves a lot here, he won’t want to go back to another world.”

“Do you think so?”

“At least I think so. So help me. You owe your life to my brother, right?”

Since she was talking about owing her life, it was difficult for Haeri to refuse.

After all, Seyul had saved her life twice.

So, after thinking for a moment, she opened her mouth.

“Okay.”

In the end, she accepted Semi’s request.

“But Semi, you’re responsible for everything if something goes wrong.”

“Okay, I’ll take responsibility.”

“You promised!”

Haeri repeatedly confirmed to prevent any sparks from flying to her.

“First of all, the content is being consumed too quickly.”

Haeri immediately pointed out the problems with Seyul’s streaming.

“Originally, virtual reality games are played for a long time. If you do related streaming, you can get quite a bit of content, but that’s not the case with Seyul.”

Since it was possible to destroy everything and see the ending in one day, there was no time to create content.

“It looks like Warrior of God will end soon too. If you end it this quickly, what are you going to do for the next broadcast? Even if you play other games, if you do it like Untouchable or Kill Me Psychopath, you won’t last a year.”

“Then what should I do?”

“Try this.”

Haeri fiddled with her phone for a moment and showed it.

Semi, looking puzzled at the screen, opened her mouth.

“Mugeuk Online?”

“Yes, this is it.”

Haeri proudly introduced the game.

“Mugeuk Online. It’s a virtual reality online game that’s serviced in China, Japan, Korea, and many other countries. Online games can be played much longer than single-player games. The background is martial arts, so it’ll suit Seyul, who uses a spear.”

“Martial arts? Is this martial arts?”

“It’s martial arts with martial arts moves and stuff. And there’s a special event going on right now.”

It was called ‘The Righteous-Demonic War’.

“This game is recently moving from season 1 to 2, and they’re doing the last event of the first season before the update. The ‘Demonic Cult’, which has been the main evil organization, is finally waging an all-out war against the righteous faction NPCs and the users. It’s a pretty popular game, so there will be a lot of people even during the event. What do you think will happen if Seyul suddenly appears at a time like this?”

“It’s certain that he’ll gain popularity, but will it be okay?”

Semi was a little worried.

“This game also seems to have a leveling system, right? Even if my brother starts now, he’ll only be level 1. If you throw him into the middle of an all-out war, he’ll die.”
