The Administrator must be impartial.
Of course, judging by what the Administrator has done to me so far, it was far from impartial, but to wrap it up in a plausible form, the Administrator is also a being with emotions, and he’s busy with his own work.
Meaning, when faced with a malicious customer and a customer he’s flirting with, he naturally sides with the flirting customer.
It’s not that I’m flirting with the Administrator, but anyway.
Here, the ‘malicious customer’ is The Crow’s Ruins.
And the ‘flirting customer’ is, of course, me.
The Administrator was eager to side with me and secretly give me things whenever The Crow’s Ruins pulled some trick.
[The Administrator’s special arrangement for the Calamity >,0]
This ridiculously named shop was like a blatant advertisement of the Administrator’s inner thoughts.
It was as if he had hung a banner saying, ‘Our Calamity~ We cherish you specially~’.
So, what’s the conclusion…
The effect of the food was great!
“Wow, it’s water… I’ve never seen so much water!”
“It’s ham! Real ham! Canned ham is back!”
“This is fresh food with a valid expiration date, right? Am I dreaming right now?”
It hadn’t been long since the world was destroyed and the social system collapsed, but it wasn’t strange for the hundred or so people in the camp to miss the food situation of the past.
So I generously provided them with food.
Lee Hyeono, perhaps worried about offending me, couldn’t even greedily pounce on the food and just gave a long speech to the people who were crying with emotion.
What did he say…
“This food was given by the newly arrived ‘Silent Calamity’…”
…Let’s stop there.
While that new fanatic was giving his speech, I briefly took my eyes off the world of the tiny sacred artifact and looked at the ‘real’ sacred artifact, which was shining in five colors.
“…”
“Kkuruk?”
Don’t make a pigeon-like sound, you crow.
I, who was facing the sacred artifact alone in the auction house, which was now empty after everyone had been transported out, was in a great dilemma about how to deal with this guy.
Even if you’re a Constellation, you shouldn’t carelessly touch someone else’s sacred artifact.
Of course, it wasn’t impossible if I really wanted to, but it was often refused out of courtesy.
But this sacred artifact belongs to The Crow’s Ruins.
I don’t know what he used to make it, but there was no need to be polite.
“Let’s see…”
I spread the wings of this transparent jewel crow and opened its beak, trying to see if there was a space to get in.
Even though a strange game shop-like thing called [The Administrator’s special arrangement for the Calamity >,0] had appeared, it was much better to enter the sacred artifact in a situation where it would be helpful.
I was also curious about the pre-regression world.
Because there’s a limit to what you can see with your eyes.
Of course, if I were to enter with my main body, the sacred artifact would shatter, and I would be trapped in the pre-regression world created by the sacred artifact, so I had to be in my jellyfish form.
And that with my power reduced by half of a half of a half… not even a power-hider, but just a real, soft jellyfish (with 2% Constellation).
As I was quietly examining this guy’s starlight structure, I nodded my head and found a gap.
And I ordered this sparkling crow.
“Open your mouth.”
“Kaak?”
I grabbed its beak and forced it open.
“Kaaaaaak! Kaaaaaak!”
It sounded like ‘This is animal abuse!’, but this guy is a sacred artifact, not an animal.
There was no reason for me to feel guilty.
I pushed the jellyfish-shaped water (with 0.02% Constellation) into its beak.
Pongpongpongpong…
With a cute sound, the crow gulped down the jellyfish water.
When a certain amount of this accumulates, I will be able to manifest as an avatar in that pre-regression world.
‘Good.’
But at that time, I didn’t know.
“Hey, what’s that?”
“Huh? The sky is just clear… huh? What’s that?”
That a commotion was spreading among the people who were in an uproar.
Something ominous began to loom in the dark night sky.
“Guild Leader, look at the sky.”
“I’m looking.”
“…What is that?”
“How would I know…”
In Korea, and in the United States.
No, everywhere in the world.
An upside-down, tilted tower began to be visible.
The Tilted Nebula, in the form of the Tower of Babel, laughed.
“My younger sibling called”
“It is born!”
“Soon after!”
“Finally!”
The starry sky.
“Ah, I knew this would happen.”
The Administrator rested his chin on his hand and looked at the system window.
The systems, which had been built since the time beyond antiquity, were all displaying a bright red warning window.
[Warning! An unknown being is approaching.]
[Warning! Confirmed as ‘The Unnamed One’.]
[Warning! This approach will cause serious damage.]
[Warning! Immediately retrieve the system and leave in search of another intelligent life form.]
[Warning!]
[Warning!]
[Warn…]
The Administrator turned off all the noisy alarms.
But even if he turned off the sound, the warning window, which had begun to shine brightly red, gave him a headache.
It’s not that he didn’t know ‘them’ as the Administrator.
The problem was that he knew them too well.
And yet, he still didn’t know many things, like the abyss.
‘The Tilted Nebula’ was one of the ones with a lot of information.
The greedy and hungry one, the Tilted Nebula, had begun to cast its eyes on this world.
With that fact alone, the Administrator just wanted to quit everything and retire.
Because it was that much of a headache.
“But I can’t quit…”
A sense of crisis, love.
Well, if you were to say it, that’s also a reason.
Because the situation on Earth was a bit special right now.
A very rare top-tier Constellation in the entire starry sky was still remaining in the lower world, unable to ascend.
If this Constellation is lost, the starry sky will suffer a great blow.
A Constellation is a star.
If even one star is missing, many things will collapse.
To put it in Earth’s terms, it’s like a component of the world suddenly disappearing.
Very important things like gravity.
If a single top-tier Constellation fails to ascend and perishes, it means that other top-tier Constellations will also suffer a great blow.
With the trickle-down effect, the Constellations below them will also have a great crack.
Because of all this situation, even with the appearance of the Tilted Nebula, the Administrator could not decide to withdraw.
“I can only hope that the Calamity notices quickly…”
Fortunately, the Tilted Nebula had only revealed its form and was not taking any particular action.
Although that was a bit suspicious, time is of the essence.
If that guy does nothing, it’s a good thing for us.
The Administrator opened the starry sky and called the top-tier Constellations.
A clear soul that had been particularly on his mind.
For the Silent Calamity.
“Open the starry sky, our friends…”
Lee Hyeono, who had finished his long speech, knelt before Seoah.
“Constellation-nim.”
“But I’m not a Constellation…”
“I know. But you are a contractor.”
“Unni. This is strange.”
The camp’s critical weaknesses were just three.
One was the military force to defeat the flocking monsters, another was the manpower, and the last one was food.
But Kim Seoah appeared in the camp like a comet.
She, a powerful puppeteer, had both military force and an untiring doll workforce, and her Constellation was so benevolent as to provide food to the lowly humans.
For Lee Hyeono, who was leading the camp and was so stressed and worried that he had gray hairs on his short hair, her existence made him develop a faith he never had before.
“I’m so sorry, but would it be okay for everyone to eat?”
“You don’t need my permission for such things… Ah, but I want to eat too! I haven’t eaten either! Hey!”
Lee Hyeono, who was hungry, ran out before Seoah could finish her words.
There was no dignity of a leader in the face of appetite.
Seoah also quickly disappeared in front of the bonfire where the frantic canned ham party was being enjoyed.
Mina was with her.
The only one left in the place was Yeon Taeseon.
“…If it’s possible like this, you should have told me.”
But there was no answer.
Because I was currently pushing a jellyfish-shaped water (with 0.02% Constellation) into the mouth of a jewel crow.
So I had no time to see the group of people who had entered the camp.
“W-what?”
“The smell of ham? It’s ham, right?”
“Where did this… Soldier hyung-ssi! What is this?”
It was the return of the search party that had gone to look for food.
In the sacks held by the grim-faced men were some canned food and ramen.
Of course, it was far from enough for everyone in the camp to eat.
The leader of the search party, Han Deokgu, did not like that.
