In other magic realms, you could occasionally return to the training facility to rest, but not this time.
A situation where no one knows how many days or weeks they will have to stay in the Demon Realm.
‘And the princess team leader sent a message. It seems like something dangerous will happen in this Demon Realm.’
I checked other people’s reactions, but it seemed like I was the only one who received this message.
A message I never received in my past life.
It seemed like the Fate Guardians were watching me.
And if I had to send a message like this, I thought there must be some risk factor other than those three clauses that I was unaware of.
But danger was always present in past lives.
I spoke to Father John without paying any attention.
“We’ve prepared thoroughly, so it’ll be fine. Let’s go inside the island first.”
Father John nodded and followed me, trembling.
As we entered, we saw a striking decoration standing out among the many trees.
It was a decoration that seemed to have a magical meaning, and had a rather crude and primitive appearance.
Father John said as if he found it strange.
“Do people live here?”
“That might be the case.”
There were no people around, so he gave a vague answer and then advanced while cutting down the nearby bushes with his sword.
We had to stay here for at least a week, so securing shelter was a priority.
Moreover, since there were people who couldn’t fight this time, we had to prepare even more thoroughly.
“Let’s use this as our base camp for the time being.”
I decided to set up camp somewhere far away from the demons’ lair.
In my past life, I slept outdoors in a flimsy shack, but this time I didn’t have to.
As soon as we took the items out of the low tide zone, a large tent was erected.
“Hey, did you bring something like this too?”
“Yes. They sell them at the store.”
The downside was that it was a bit expensive and bulky, but since I had a low-cost charger, it wasn’t a big problem.
First the bed is made, next is food.
I can’t go back to the lobby, I can’t use the shop window, and I don’t know how long I have to stay there.
That’s why food was one of the most important points in the room of Balseol.
【Wow, Kangrim flexed.】
【What is Flex?】
【Because you’re showing off your money.】
【Aren’t you going to end up living like this here?】
【Magyeongdo Survival Story Seo Kang-rim Edition.】
“I, I brought you some food. Some snacks and this and that… … .”
Father John began to take out dry goods from a large bag.
It was nice that you could bring your own food, but you didn’t have to eat it.
“It’s okay, Father. I’ll just take a quick look around and come back, so stay here and be careful.”
I left John in the tent and went into the forest.
It’s not that I don’t like dry bread, but there was something about it that I had to eat there.
I set out to find dinner tonight, sword in hand.

【Are these guys the advance party? How long has it been since they came in?】
【Hmm~ Was it a week?】
【Wow, that’s all that’s passed?】
【Just looking at their faces, it looks like they’ve been living here for a month.】
The sound of the gods chattering overhead was disturbing.
Among the people in Area 2, several who entered early were sticking their heads into the valley and drinking water.
They had been drinking from the stream for a long time, perhaps because they were thirsty, but it was hunger, not thirst, that was bothering them.
【Look at him filling his water bowl because he’s hungry.】
【I thought it was a hippopotamus drinking water.】
【What if our Choi Sang-won starves? Cheer up!】
Choi Sang-won, one of the members of District 2, was looking up at the sky helplessly.
A rumbling sound was heard from the stomach.
“Ha, I’m hungry.”
“Damn it! If only they hadn’t taken my food a few days ago… … .”
The first day that Choi Sang-won and his party entered Balseoldo, the atmosphere was not bad.
After thoroughly preparing as Annabi advised, I headed to the Demon Realm, and the battle wasn’t that difficult.
But after having their food stolen, survival became a priority over conquering the Demon Realm.
A man approached Choi Sang-won and spoke.
“Mr. Choi Sang-won. I found this… … . Would you like some of this?”
What the opponent offered was an unidentifiable grass root.
Choi Sang-won suddenly became angry.
“Are you crazy? You want me to eat grass?”
“It’s not grass, it’s a vegetable. I used to eat it a lot when I lived in the countryside… … .”
“Okay. You eat that stuff.”
The opponent quietly shut his mouth and stepped back.

Choi Sang-won held his hungry stomach and cursed inwardly.
‘Damn it, I have to eat grass roots like that? It would be unimaginable outside… …!’
His wrists were adorned with expensive luxury watches.
Although he was torn up here and there from the battle, the clothes and shoes he was wearing were all high-end luxury brands.
Choi Sang-won glared at the people resting.
‘I think I hired the wrong people.’
After entering here, Choi Sang-won used money to recruit people who seemed reasonably strong.
Because of this, even though I was able to progress through the fourth stage with ease, I ran into a crisis when I reached the fifth stage.
‘I should have hired someone stronger… … .’
The people he kept an eye on were Dokgo Jun, Seo Kang Rim, and Shin Soo Ah.
But none of them felt like it.
Dokgo Jun left, saying he wouldn’t listen to anything extras said, and his pride was hurt enough to ask Seo Kang Rim and Shin Soo Ah.
‘Damn, to a mere part-timer at a fortune telling cafe… … .’
He was the man who had been on a blind date with Shin Soo-ah.
I couldn’t ask for her escort while being dumped by Shin Soo-ah and embarrassed by Seo Kang-rim.
‘So I hired the ones that looked okay, but they were all weak and fell off… … .’
Choi Sang-won glanced at the people he had hired.
They were chewing on vegetables and chatting, not even knowing that Choi Sang-won was cursing at them.
“I’m not going to starve to death like this, am I?”
“I can’t go back to the lobby… … . I don’t even know what the assignment is.”
“What if I join Shin Soo-ah’s group?”
Choi Sang-won frowned at those words.
I know that Shinsooah set up camp at the place where she fell.
But I didn’t want to bow my head and go in.
While the people were talking like that, the scout came running back to them.
“I found the car!”
“What did you find?”
“There are fruit trees inside the island!”
At the mention of the fruit tree, the person who had been lying limply suddenly stood up from his seat.
Their faces lit up.
Choi Sang-won approached the scout urgently.
“Where? Where have you been?”
“It’s close here. But something feels a bit fishy… … .”
“Just guide me!”
I was so hungry I couldn’t hesitate any longer.
Choi Sang-won and his party followed the scouts and hurriedly headed toward the place where the fruit trees were.
As he said, there were fruit trees growing in abundance not far away.
The fruit was so delicious that just getting close to the field would fill my nose with its sweet smell.
But the problem lay elsewhere.
“Here… … is this an orchard?”
No matter how I looked at it, it felt artificial, as if someone had intentionally created the orchard.
A beast that looked like a hunting dog was loitering nearby.
I had a feeling something was wrong, but hunger was stronger than fear.
Choi Sang-won instructed the people.
“Kill the demons and pick some fruit. You should do it while you still have some energy.”
If I starve any longer, I won’t even have the energy to fight the demon.
The rest of the people nodded in agreement.
While Choi Sang-won watched them, the rest of the group took their positions and began to surround the demon.
The soil around here was so soft that it didn’t make much of a sound when you walked on it.
【Oh, but everyone is getting tired by now?】
【They seem a bit more refined?】
【Is it like doing something a little too harsh like frosting a fruit?】
【If they do well this time, I’ll give them a divine favor.】
The dog-shaped demon had its head down and was eating fallen fruit.
Then he noticed something and suddenly raised his head.
At the same time, three people rushed towards the demon.
-Growl… … !
The demon, sensing the attack, took a step back with the fur on its entire body puffed up.
Judging by its exposed teeth and aggressiveness, it seemed like a pretty strong demon, but its movements were not very good.
Choi Sang-won felt something strange.
‘This devil, why is it so skinny?’
I didn’t know it when I first saw him, but Masu was so emaciated that his ribs were protruding.
It’s strange, but it’s a good thing for them since they’ve become weaker.
The demon flinched and took a step back, then began to run away at a rapid pace.
【Huh? You’re already running away?】
【Eat quickly. Before the owner comes.】
Those who were able to drive out the devil more easily than expected looked bewildered but also delighted.
I was so hungry my stomach was about to burst.
Choi Sang-won harassed them.
“Okay, go and pick some fruit.”
“Yes! Please wait a moment.”
People, excited at the thought of having food for the first time in a few days, quickly climbed up the tree.
The tree was quite tall, so it took some time to climb up.
While Choi Sang-won was anxiously stamping his feet while watching the scene, a strange thought suddenly occurred to him.
‘The god told me something strange earlier. He told me to eat quickly before the master comes.’
If this really was an orchard, there would naturally be an owner.
‘Then who is the owner?’
A strange sense of unease came over me.
At that moment, the screams of a demon were heard from not far away.
-Wake up!
Choi Sang-won suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
The scout who was climbing the tree was also looking in that direction.
The scout said in a puzzled voice.
“Why is there a monkey here? And what is it holding in its hand… .”
The people below looked as if they were wondering what on earth they were talking about.
Then, after a while, the scout became lost in thought and jumped down the tree in a hurry.
“Run! We have to get out of here quickly!”
“What? What on earth did you see… …”
While Choi Sang-won was shouting, the voices of the gods were heard through the wireless communication, and he shut his mouth.
Even the gods were screaming to run away.
【Hey, the owner is here!】
【Choi Sang-won, if you don’t want to die, run away quickly!】
【Look at that stupid thing, it’s hilarious.】
【Hey, it’s already coming!】
Choi Sang-won felt a presence and turned around in surprise.
Just a moment ago, the demon that had been threatening them had fallen, and something was standing next to it.
It was a monkey.
It looked like a normal monkey, but it was holding something like a large pair of tongs in its hands.
Choi Sang-won was puzzled by the sight, but soon figured out what the tool was used for.
-Phew!
The monkey opened the devil’s mouth, pulled out his tongue, and threw it on the floor.
Only now did Choi Sang-won know what the fertilizer in this orchard was.
Tongue pulling, pulling out the tongue and using it as fertilizer.
