[The name of the Hunter ‘Seogangrim’ spreads far and wide! Humans begin to take notice of you.]
Messages informing me of the increase in my popularity were constantly popping up right before my eyes.
Because it came up so often, I just checked it manually and turned off the notification.
Even without that message window popping up, I could tell what people thought of me.
-Seo Kang-rim is crazy. I thought they were making a movie about fighting in an amusement park;;;
-You subdued the demon in one go? And in the process, you helped me escape.
-Starting today, I’m joining Kangrim’s fan club. Don’t stop me.
Even if I just typed the word ‘Seo’ into the search bar, several results were displayed along with my name.
There were countless videos of me fighting in the amusement park floating around the internet.
[People are talking about your performance!]
[People are talking about your good deeds and abilities!]
It was really funny.
Just a few days ago, people were talking about my meanness, but now they are talking about my good deeds.
Of course, there were still many people who hated me.
-Seo Kang-rim, everyone knows that that kid pretends to be good but does all kinds of dirty things behind the scenes.
-Seo Kang-rim is a hypocrite who only pretends to be good on the outside! Last time we met in the Demon Realm, I asked him for help, but he ignored me.
-Honestly, there are many hunters who are on the same level as Seo Kang-rim, but they all fall for him just by looking at his face. Because he looks like a parasite’s older brother.
It was a familiar ripple, but there were differences.
In the past, if you slandered me, there would be a lot of sympathetic comments flowing down.
But now things are a little different.
I saw people questioning and protesting against the content that slandered me.
-They say that only ugly kids have a bad temper and call their older brother a parasite.
-Seo Kang-rim, you have nothing to curse at, so did you have to come up with the curse word “parasite long-haired”? That’s funny.
-There are more guys who are just looking at faces. What’s left if you take Seo Kang-rim’s face away?
– Top graduate of the educational institution, serial conqueror of the Great Demon Realm, savior who defeated large demons and saved people, and a lot of money and skills? What do you have left?
The other person started spewing out six-letter words as if he was getting excited.
Despite the rather harsh insults, those defending me seemed calm.
By the way, these people who defended me had nicknames I often saw in other places.
I clearly remember seeing this in other ripples.
He was the one who mostly wrote nice things about me.
A lot, with enthusiasm.
While I was looking at the ID for a moment to see what kind of person he was, one post caught my eye.
-I almost died on Seolsan Mountain, but Seo Kang-rim came and saved me. If it weren’t for Seo Kang-rim, I would have crossed the Jordan River a long time ago.
You almost died on the mountain?
… … Could this be Yun Gyeo-ul?
Is the person next to you leaving a comment Yoon Bom?
The nicknames presumed to be Yoon Bom and Yoon Gyul-woo were quite active on the Internet, and most of the posts they made were about me.
Thanks to that, a good public opinion about me was being formed.
[People are talking about your goodness and righteousness.]
[There is not enough story collected yet, so the spirit does not change.]
But no matter how good a story is, it seems to spread more slowly than a bad story.
I don’t mind people cursing at me, and I don’t mind being called a ‘cowardly winner’.
In any case, the only thing that matters is that a person exists, whether he is famous or notorious.
[People are talking about your love, your lover.]
And in the meantime, keywords that didn’t match me at all were appearing.
I can guess the cause, but… … .
-Did you see Shin Soo Ah and Seo Kang Rim fight together? Their chemistry was no joke.
-If you look at the two of them at the amusement park, you’ll know the answer, right?
-It looks like the two of you were secretly dating!!
There were other members besides us, but they didn’t seem to care much.
Since Shin Soo-ah and I were both on screen, I guess there was nothing I could do.
As I was looking at it with displeasure, a notification window popped up before my eyes.
[Access to the unpaid communication system is possible by meeting sufficient awareness.]
This was the most welcome news I’ve seen today.
Although the new system can’t be opened yet, the free communication seemed quite useful.
I’ve used it as a human before, but this is my first time using it as a demigod.
When I accessed the free telecommunications service, a system window appeared in front of me with several options.
[You can choose a human or god to connect to the wireless communication.]
I looked at it and thought about it for a moment.
If there is a god you want to connect with right now… … . it is, of course, the ‘first master’.
But it was too risky to just make contact.
Since they probably don’t know that I’ve noticed yet, I’ll put that aside for now.
All that remains is to contact humans… … .
After thinking about it for a while, I went to Shin Soo Ah’s room.
“Yes, Mr. Kangrim. What’s going on?”
“I have a few things to tell you.”

To experiment with unpaid communication, we had to explain the cognitive system to the other party.
Since I had to gradually convey information about deification to Shin Soo-ah, I thought it would be better to explain it while conducting an experiment with her.
“Ms. Shin Soo-ah, aren’t you getting a notification window saying that your popularity has been rising lately?”
After letting my luck run wild, I gave a brief explanation.
Awareness, deification, and the systems that can be used behind it.
She looked quite surprised.
“I see. Deification… … If what Kangrim said is true, then there is a possibility that I could become a demigod.”
“Yes. And now I would like to try some experiments using the unpaid communication, so I would like your help.”
“Yes, I like it.”
As soon as Shin Soo-ah readily accepted, I started testing right away.
Considering that the gods used to speak to each other through the airwaves, this seemed like it would be a pretty useful feature.
[Attempting to connect to ‘Shin Soo Ah’s’ free communication.]
[The target’s power is strong, so unauthorized access is not possible.]
[Communication is not possible if the target does not accept.]
Although he is a god, I felt relieved rather than disappointed by the fact that he cannot connect without thinking.
It also means that other gods cannot easily contact me.
After conducting an experiment with Shin Soo-ah’s help, I was able to confirm several things.
First of all, if you connect to a free mobile phone, you can not only send messages but also share views.
The screen was not in first-person, but in quarter-view format, so it was similar to me looking down at Shin Soo-ah from the ceiling.
Considering that the gods could freely send messages even in the demon realm, it seemed like it could be used without distinction between the street, the demon realm, and the real world.
You could also send items and such as those that the gods supported.
“Thank you for your help, Shin Soo-ah. It seems like it will be more useful than I thought.”
We have verified all the features that can be used immediately through experiments.
It seemed like it could be used in many ways depending on how you use it.
Shin Soo Ah looked at me and said after disconnecting.
“I’m glad I could help. By the way, Kangrim-ssi’s spirit… … He’s a cowardly victor, he doesn’t suit me.”
For some reason, his expression didn’t look very good when he logged on. It seemed like he was upset because of my new identity.
I said in a calm tone.
“I don’t care what people call me. Don’t worry about it.”
“How can you not care? Saying that Kang-rim is a coward, that’s ridiculous… … .”
Shin Soo-ah looked a little angry.
I’m getting cursed at, and you’re getting angry as if it were your own business.
Looking at her like that, I imagined what would happen if Shin Soo-ah got a new soul.
It must be a name with good adjectives like righteous, upright, etc.
It was a strange feeling to imagine her gaining recognition, entering deification, becoming a demigod.
I hate all the gods in the world, but I think it would be nice if there was a god like Shinsooah in the world.
At that moment, a knock was heard.
“Sister Suah, it’s spring! Can I borrow your laptop? My keyboard is broken… … .”
“Oh, come in.”
As Shin Soo-ah opened the door, Yoon Bom naturally came inside.
And then he looked at me with surprised eyes.
“Huh? Master? Why are you here… … . I’m, I’m sorry! Have a good time!”
“That’s not it.”
He quickly caught Yoon Bom, who was trying to misunderstand and run away.
I think I know exactly what you are misunderstanding.
To Yoon Bom, who was at a loss, Shin Soo Ah calmly explained on my behalf.
“I was just talking to Kangrim. You don’t have to go. What’s going on?”
“Oh, no. I just wanted to borrow something… … .”
Yoon Bom froze, looking slightly bewildered.
I quietly looked at Yoon Bom like that.
… … Something was strange.
[Murder is hanging over the fate of ‘Yoon Bom’.]
A murderous aura was stirring around Yun Bom.
It wasn’t a murder so violent that it could kill, but it was clearly a murder that foreshadowed some kind of misfortune.
Everything was fine until yesterday, so why is it suddenly like this?
“Yoon Bom, are you planning on going to the Demonic Cultivation Center today?”
“No! I’m not going to the magic show today. My parents are coming up, so I’m going to go see them with Winter later. They saw us on the news.”
Yoon Bom smiled faintly as if she was satisfied, but her murderous spirit was still there.
I’m not even going to the devil’s palace, I’m just going out, but I feel this way.
I had a bad feeling about this.
“Where is the meeting place? I’ll give you a ride.”
“Oh, is that okay? I’d appreciate it if you gave me a ride, but… … Didn’t you have something to do with Soo-ah?”
“It’s okay. It’s all over.”
Shin Soo-ah nodded as if agreeing with what I said.
Yoon Bom hesitated for a while but eventually accepted my offer.
After saying goodbye to Shin Soo-ah, we left the room.
Yoon Gyul-wool, who had been waiting, soon joined us, and I could feel the murderous aura from him as well.
“Master is giving us a lift? That’s great! Our mom and dad said they really wanted to see Master!”
“That’s right. He said that since we owe him something, he really wanted to treat us at least once!”
The two of them were chatting excitedly, but I had a bad feeling about it.
Aldebaran was so conspicuous that I loaded the two of us into a spare car and headed to the meeting place.
Meanwhile, Yun Gyul-woo muttered while looking down at his cell phone.
“Sister, the kids I reported last time are contacting me and asking for a settlement. Do you agree?”
“There’s no such thing.”
“I knew it. Oh, and in the meantime, another kid left a comment. Those crazy guys, where did they get our master from… … .”
Even though he was mumbling, everyone heard him.
I said, glancing back.
“Why me? What’s wrong?”
“Ah! No, Master. Nothing.”
Yun Gyul-woo was laughing, but I could still feel the murderous aura coming from him.
And as expected, the closer I got to the meeting place, the stronger the murderous aura became.
As they approached the meeting place, a busy downtown area, Yoon Bom said.
“Thanks to you, Master, I came early. There’s still some time left before our appointment, so let’s go to a nearby cafe… … .”
At that moment, I felt something cold touch the back of my neck.
A powerful murderous aura that seems to freeze you to your bones.
And at that moment, something exploded in the distance.
-Kwaaang!
A powerful explosion occurred in a nearby building.
All the cars stopped, and loud horns and people screaming could be heard from all directions.
Amidst the continuous explosions, someone screamed as if his voice was going to burst.
“Ahhh, they’re demons!”
The devil has appeared?
As far as I can remember, this was an event that had never happened in my past life.
Surely the demons didn’t show up for a month after the amusement park incident?
