Episode 112
[Congratulations! You have reached your target combat power of 92,880!]
[Complete the warrior quest]
[As a reward, the title will be changed from ‘Reserve Warrior’ to ‘Regular Warrior’]
A system alarm sounds.
As expected, increasing combat power by 10 was ridiculously easy.
While training as usual, my physical stat went up by 1, and immediately my combat power also went up, achieving my goal.
Upon closer inspection, I saw that it had increased by exactly 69, making it 92,936.
“Am I finally getting a full-time job?” “What are you talking about all of a sudden?” “It feels like that. It feels like I’ve been converted from a contract worker to a full-time worker.”
Choi Hyun-seok shrugged.
I don’t know why the title was ‘Regular Warrior’, but it didn’t feel too bad because it felt like I had been converted to a regular employee.
“By the way, what’s the benefit of upgrading your title?” “There are several. The most important thing is that you level up faster.” “What? You level up faster?”
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes grew wide as if they were going to pop out.
In one breath, he grabs Rachel by the nape of her neck and lifts her up.
“Hey you bitch! Why are you telling me that now!?” “Oh, no, I forgot!” “There’s nothing I could have forgotten!” “In the first place, titles are something that the system gives you by giving you a quest promotion! It’s not my place to step up!”
Rachel’s words were not a lie.
There was nothing I could do about it because she had told me about the title in advance.
Because Rachel was also just a part of the system.
It was impossible to tune the system itself or anything like that.
“Haa, in the end, it was because of that idiot up there who forgot that I ended up losing a lot.” “That’s right. I heard that when you become a regular warrior, you get about 25 percent more experience points than before.”
“25 percent…?”
Choi Hyun-seok’s face suddenly crumples.
He held his stomach and made a pained expression.
“If I had gotten it sooner, my level would have gone up by 40 or 50 more, even if it wasn’t that high!”
Choi Hyun-seok raised his head and looked at the sky.
“If you made a mistake, you have to compensate for it! Give me some experience points, hero points, or something!” “Oh my, hero. What would the system give you for that?”
The moment Rachel shook her head.
Tiring!
The system alarm sounded.
[Unsettled compensation will be paid!]
[500 warrior points will be awarded]
[Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!]
Choi Hyun-seok blinked when he saw the alarm.
On the surface, it was said to be unsettled compensation, but anyone can see that it was compensation due to negligence.
“You really came in?”
Rachel, who couldn’t share the system, tilted her head.
“What do you get in return?” “Rewards. 500 points and an additional 10 levels.” “Huh? You really gave me that extra kick in!? The warrior system!?” “What kind of kick in the butt? And the correct expression is ‘flouting’.” “Anyway! Does the system say I’ll get it if I throw a tantrum!?”
Rachel jumped up and down and screamed.
The system changes rewards based on the user’s needs.
It was something that was absolutely impossible in her common sense.
“I’ve seen a lot of different things while I was with the real warrior, but it’s always new.” “Speak nicely!”
Choi Hyun-seok fed him finger beans.
“Tsk… You live with swearing in your mouth too.”
Rachel grumbled with her mouth sticking out.
Of course, Choi Hyun-seok lightly ignored it.
“Whew. I’m not particularly happy with the reward, but it’s better than nothing.”
“of course!”
“But, isn’t there anything else you get by becoming a regular warrior?” “Hmm… If you become a regular warrior, you get more warrior quests!”
“Is that beneficial?”
“You can collect a lot of warrior points!”
Choi Hyun-seok made an expression that seemed somewhat uneasy.
“I don’t think that’s really necessary right now. To be honest, you don’t even look at the warrior shop.” “That’s because you’re a miser who only thinks about saving points. If you look carefully, there are endless ways to use it, not only in battle but also in everyday life.” “Hmm… Well, right now I’m just saving up points.”
Choi Hyun-seok agreed.
I’m not using it right now because I’m collecting warrior points to buy inventory.
I remember that there were quite a few things I wanted to buy if I had the money.
“Are there any other benefits?”
Rachel also listed the additional benefits that came with becoming a regular warrior.
However, from Choi Hyun-seok’s perspective, nothing really resonated.
Even though people were talking about how the system assimilation rate was increasing, the actual feeling he got was similar.
“Okay. In fact, a 25 percent increase in experience gained would be enough.”
In any case, the amount of experience gained has increased, so this alone is a huge benefit.
“Well then, shall we begin our activities as regular warriors?”
“great!”
At that moment, Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel were raising their fists with excitement.
“You have great guts to act as a warrior within the Demon King’s army.”
A muddy voice was heard, as if scraping the bottom of an abyss.
Let’s look back at the demon tribe we most want to meet
There was someone ranked first.

“Ahahaha…! Aren’t you Motem-nim?”
A knight in black armor carrying a greatsword.
It was a mortem.
***
Choi Hyun-seok forced a smile.
The corners of his mouth quivered due to the intense facial movement.
‘I thought it was so quiet.’
No matter how busy he was trying to figure out the duties of a legion commander, Motem was not showing up for a long time.
I was just thinking that it was time to start showing my face…
The timing is bad.
“It’s the work of a warrior. From what I’ve heard, a warrior is an apostle of God who kills demons, right?”
Motem, who rarely did any outside activities, was in many ways lacking in the common sense of the time.
One of the reasons he didn’t show up for a long time was to learn this common sense.
“It’s true that I’m a warrior… but I don’t kill demons or anything! No matter what anyone says, I’m Hemis’s loyal dog! Aren’t I Choi Hyeon-seok, the commander of the 3rd Corps’ direct regiment! Hahahahaha…!” “That’s right! Our warrior is just trash who kills humans!”
They were regular warriors and dedicated fairies who volunteered to be the dogs of the Demon King’s army officers.
Motem waved his hand indifferently.
“I was joking. Don’t worry, Hemis has already told you about your story.”
“thank you!”
“Yes. As you said, you are an officer in the Demon King’s Army. A regimental commander.” “Of course, that’s right!” “But what do you do?”
“yes…?”
The already low mortal voice became even lower.
“You’re a regimental commander, but all you do is stay in the parade ground and train. Training isn’t a bad thing, but isn’t the role of a commander not just training?”
“Uh… um…”
Choi Hyun-seok, who was embarrassed, continued speaking.
“Mr. Mortem, I’m sorry, but I don’t have any men to take on the role of commander.”
Currently, Choi Hyun-seok is a regiment commander in name only.
Because there were no unit members.
I’ve heard that there will be a large-scale recruitment of soldiers soon and that the units will be reorganized at that time, but I haven’t been given a detailed schedule.
“So I’m thinking of adding more troops now.”
“Oh…”
A slight look of anticipation appeared on Choi Hyun-seok’s face.
He is a regimental commander.
There are five battalions under the regimental commander and several direct companies.
That is, the number of subordinates led by the regiment commander alone is approximately three thousand.
Three thousand.
At first glance, it may seem like a small number, but when you actually see the number gathered together, you can see that it is a larger number than you can imagine.
‘Am I finally becoming a proper commander?’
A commander leading countless soldiers!
It’s a position that every man has dreamed of at least once.
Even though the soldiers in the Demon King’s army are of the Demon Tribe, what do you think?
Now, Choi Hyun-seok’s mentality has become strong enough to laugh off such trivial things.
“I’ve made arrangements for an interview, so let’s go there.” “Huh? An interview?” “… Do I have to say it twice?” “No! Haha! You’re selecting soldiers through interviews? That’s actually good!”
Choi Hyun-seok smiled kindly, but his feelings were different.
‘What the heck is this interview?’
They select soldiers through interviews.
It’s a whopping three thousand.
It would take at least several months to interview and select that number of people.
‘Or are you interviewing the battalion commander?’
Choi Hyun-seok followed Motem without resolving the question.
***
The interview room was the largest parade ground within the Gardrak Castle.
There were hundreds of demons gathered there, and when Choi Hyun-seok and Motem appeared, their attention was immediately focused on them.
The momentum was so threatening that a cold sweat ran down Choi Hyun-seok’s back.
“Are those gathered over there the friends who came for the interview?”
“okay.”
“If I’m not mistaken, everyone seems to be of a fairly good standard.”
“You have an eye for detail.”
“Are we electing a battalion commander here?” “No. This is where we elect unit members.”
“yes…?”
What kind of Demon King’s Army unit is made up of such ruthless guys?
The moment when Choi Hyun-seok was wondering.
Motem clapped his hands exaggeratedly.
That appearance always felt awkward because it was completely different from his usual heavy-hearted attitude.
“Oh, I forgot to tell you.”
He looked back at Choi Hyun-seok and said.
“Officially, you are a regimental commander, but your unit will be composed of something a little differently.” “What about something special…?”
“You could call it a kind of special forces unit. I’m thinking of the size of the company. We’re going to test it out and if it doesn’t work out, we’ll just scrap it, so don’t worry too much.” “Oh, that’s a really good idea! Hahaha…!”
Not a good idea, mind you.
I already have a bad feeling about this.
I have a feeling that I’m going to be rolled into a bad place!
“Who on earth came up with such a brilliant plan?” “It was me. It was a plan that came to mind after thinking about how to manipulate you, or rather, how to utilize your power.”
“okay…”
I had a lot to say, but I held back.
Choi Hyun-seok vowed that if he ever became stronger than Motem, he would hit him in the back of the head and stop him.
“Let’s stop talking nonsense and get started.”
Motem went up onto the stage.
“Attention everyone. We will now begin the interview process for the 3rd Army Corps’ direct special mission agents.”
A threatening magic aura emanates from him.
It wasn’t a large amount, but everyone was overwhelmed.
A refined magic that is qualitatively different from the demons of this era.
The magic was so creepy that it felt like a sharp blade was placed under my neck.
“The human here is Choi Hyun-seok, who will be the deputy commander. Choi Hyun-seok, come forward.”
At Motem’s words, Choi Hyun-seok took a step forward.
“Uh… This is Choi Hyeon-seok, who has been appointed deputy commander.”
As soon as I opened my mouth, rough magic began to surge in from all directions.
Applicants who are emitting magical energy as if they would jump out at any moment.
It felt like a battle was imminent.
“You guys are really aggressive. Haha…”
Choi Hyun-seok looked back at Motem and said.
“I searched the area and brought in all the demons that were showing some strength. They may be rough, but their strength is certain.”
“okay.”
“The Demon Race is a world where strength represents everything. If you make them realize that you are strong, they will follow you.”
“yes?”
The flow that suddenly continued is strange.
Make them realize that you are strong and make them follow you.
Isn’t it natural for those who came for an interview to become subordinates to follow their commander?
“Get ready. The interview will begin right away. After the interview, you will only accept the ones you want as members.” “Mr. Mortem. Could this really be an interview?” “Of course it is sparring. What’s with the attitude of not knowing?” “Yes… uh… of course I knew… I was just asking to confirm. Haha!” “We don’t have much time, so let’s do five at a time. About six or seventy times should be enough.”
“…”
“I think I can easily deal with you since you were so easygoing towards me.”
There is a hint of laughter in Motem’s voice as he speaks.
Choi Hyun-seok closed his eyes for a moment.
‘You little bastard…’
Why are you torturing me like this just because I blew a piece of shit once?
I will definitely repay you someday.
The day you become stronger than Motem, I will hit you on the back of the head without mercy.
The moment I made that promise.
‘Wait a minute… I guess there’s no need to wait…?’
Choi Hyun-seok’s head lit up.
He opened his eyes and looked back at the mortem.
“Can I ask you just one thing?”
“Speak.”
“What happens to people who get hurt or die along the way?”
Motem snorted at Choi Hyun-seok’s question.
“This is the Demon King’s army. Don’t worry about getting hurt. Just don’t die. Even if you die, I won’t hold you responsible unless it was intentional.” “Aha… I understand.”
Choi Hyun-seok turned his head again and looked at the applicants.
A direction where the mortar is not visible.
There was a brighter smile on his face than usual.
