5.
It got bigger and bigger.
Frog… That’s right. It now knew that the first creature it had swallowed was a frog. I learned more than before. It knew the frog, it knew the snake, it knew the eagle.
When I was a frog, I felt the joy of being hit by rainwater on my bare skin.
When I was a snake, I felt the joy of crawling across the soft ground with my bare body.
When you’re an eagle, you feel the joy of entrusting your weight to the sky.
I came to know the joy of rain, earth, and sky.
-purr.
It finally became a lion and realized the joy of slaughter.
The meat of the stag was delicious. Be fragrant! The moment I sank my teeth into the back of his neck and became intoxicated with the blood, it seemed like there would be no respite even if I closed my eyes like this.
According to nature, it would have become a spirit or a divine spirit.
-ah···.
Somehow by chance.
-Hi!
Unless you run into some noisy creature.
-Aaaah!
The creature turned its back and ran away.
Instinctively, it chased after the creature.
-Say, save me…! dad! dad! Help me!
The creature was slow to hear loud topics. He even threw himself to the ground.
What are you doing?
It didn’t know that the creature had ‘fallen’. I had no choice but to not know. It has devoured countless creatures as it travels between the earth and the sky, but that was the first creature that was stupid enough to fall while running.
-I don’t want to die! dad! help···.
Before the noisy creature could get any louder, it sank its teeth. Wow! Wow. Blood flowed between my teeth. When it had a mouth full of blood, it paused for a moment. A shock like a thunderbolt struck my mind.
It’s fragrant!
What is this scent?
It was bewitched. I was addicted. drunk on blood It frantically plunged its mouth into its mouth and gnawed away everything from this creature. Blood…flesh…and bones! Even the intestines! too. Everything was fragrant.
Flesh from blood. From flesh to bone. intestines from bones.
As its teeth sunk deeper and deeper, its hind legs became increasingly tapered. The front paws became longer and longer.
The hind feet became legs.
The front feet became arms.
The lion’s mane turned into hair.
It happened in an instant. It calmly ate and swallowed the remains of the creature. As I licked up every last bit of residue, the memories of the creature slowly flowed into me.
-······.
human being.
The creature was called that.
Humans were born in a village on the outskirts of town. He grew up receiving love from his family. There was no shortage of love. But is there always something missing somewhere in life? This man lacked health.
disease.
There was no way to cure an incurable disease in a poor rural area. Even if there was a way, there was no money. In a family full of love, people died day by day. Bravely, this young human refused to die in his blanket.
-I want to walk before I can’t walk anymore!
-I want to breathe the outside air a little more.
It was a mistake.
Humans have gone too far. He was testing how far he could go before he died.
The final destination that humans reached was death. In its stomach.
-Hey! Esther!
no.
-You were here!
It stopped being that thing.
-How many times have I told you not to go out alone! It’s dangerous near the forest. You never know when a beast will come out. From now on, I will never go alone… No, why are you dressed like that!
-······.
The girl opened her lips.
-dad.
She smiled.
-I think I’m healthy now.
Esther.
It was the first name the Demon King had.
6.
A voice rang in my head.
[Activates the skill.]
The plains began to turn over.
The change started from right under my feet. shadow. The shadow as large as my body began to expand endlessly. My shadow was overlaid on the plain that had already been covered with the demon king’s scum.
-Gooooh…
Wiggle!
Something emerged from the shadows.
-Goooooo!
It was a bone.

White human bones stretched out from the shadows.
He looked like a devil trying to escape from hell.
‘Geomje nobleman.’
I said to myself as I looked around at the scene created by my shadow.
‘You were wondering why I chose [Summon White Ghosts], right?’
-Uh, yes. It did.
‘At first, I was also attracted to other skills.’
For example, a technique that strengthens aura.
The red ray fired by the Demon King has a power that is truly frightening. How cool would it be if I could one day be able to use attacks like that?
But after thinking about it a little more, I changed my mind.
‘Skill card open.’
+
[Summoning a hundred ghosts]
Rank: SS
Effect: Summons those you killed as monsters. The dead do not inherit their abilities from life. It does not inherit memories. They are simply summoned as monsters such as goblins, orcs, zombies, and skeletons.
※However, it can only be summoned once a week.
+
A card that shines brilliantly in gold.
‘I summon all the people I personally killed as monsters…’
I glanced at the card and muttered.
‘Here’s the problem. How many people do you think I killed myself?’
-uh.
Bae Hu-ryeong frowned.
-You and the guy who is a plague or something. Aren’t there two people total?
‘Yes. ‘I think so.’
I laughed.
‘But why does the [Detective’s Insight] that Sword Saint possesses show my kill count above 4000?’
-what?
‘Honestly, it’s so bad. It’s strange. No matter how much I thought about suicide, did I kill the wrong person? I just kept pestering myself. But why is the number of kills set at 4000? Common sense dictates that it is only fair if number 2 wins.’
-······.
‘In other words, it’s like this.’
I looked ahead.
‘There is a separate method for settling deaths at the tower.’
The plain of shadows spread out before my eyes.
‘Even if you kill the same person twice, it is treated as [2] death, not [1].’
And monsters crawling out of the shadows.
I saw a group of skeletons escaping from my hell.
‘ruler. ‘Let me ask you again.’
It was legion.
Countless skeleton soldiers covered the wilderness.
‘How much death do you think I’ve created?’
4097 suicides.
The first hunt for Yu Suha, and the second hunt for Yu Suha that had to be done one more time because he was killed by the Sword Saint before 24 hours had passed.
Therefore, 4099 deaths.
The traces of my death were spread across the vast plain.
“Yaaaa…”
I nodded.
As I watched with satisfaction the map of hell I had drawn myself.
“Really, a lot of people died.”
It was that moment.
-Goooooo!
The legion of bones roared.
-Kaaaa!
The skeletons bared their teeth. They all looked the same. He was similar in size to me and the same height as me. Wouldn’t it be natural? These are monsters that testify to my death, not other people.
‘Even the weapons are all the same.’
dagger.
The skeletons were all holding the same dagger.
When I took my own life. And it was the weapon used when hunting Yoo Su-ha.
“Nonsense···!”
However, I was the only person in this wide plain leisurely looking at the skeleton’s weapons. Witch and Sword Saint. Both hunters were looking around with embarrassed expressions.
“what’s this? Gongja Kim. “Is this really your skill?”
“yes.”
“You’re lying!?”
The witch was astonished.
“oh my god. A skill that summons thousands of monsters! Never heard of it! “Because you have this skill, you cleared the 10th floor on your own!”
“uh.”
The witch seemed to have arbitrarily misunderstood my strategy. The witch was amazed by herself before I could correct her illusion.
“no. That’s not it…”
hmm.
done.
“Well, that’s right. yes.”
“also!”
“We’ll talk about the details later.”
There is no reason to resolve the misunderstanding right away.
You should do your best to chat with the devil in front of you.
-How can you… have the same skills as me?
Not only the Hunter but also the Demon King was confused.
The Demon King stood still in place. There was no expression on the Demon King’s face, but just by hearing his voice, I could guess how embarrassed he was.
It was a waste.
If you could see the facial expressions, you would be able to see that Oh Man-sang was all frowning.
“Are you curious?”
I gave up my regret and smiled.
“But what should I do with this? “I have no intention of teaching you.”
-······.
“Keep wondering. Or are you going to teach me on the condition that you sacrifice your neck for me? how is it?”
-I can’t forgive…! This should not be allowed!
The Demon King roared like a wounded lion.
-How long are you going to mock me! Goddess! My wandering thoughts! Resentment! Didn’t he promise to accept all grudges? How come this…!
“Sword Saint!”
I didn’t listen to the demon king’s funeral. The Demon King had his circumstances, and I had my role. The devil is my enemy. If the enemy was distracted, it was an opportunity for me.
“Fight with the skeletons! “If Sword Saint joins us, at least we won’t be pushed out!”
“Hmm.”
Geomseong answered with a dissatisfied face.
“I understand. I don’t feel comfortable fighting with monsters… “It’s more moderate than helping you.”
“thank you! Black Dragon Lord, please help me! “Let’s defeat the devil together!”
“I know. “Don’t grab my ankles!”
The Sword Saint swung his sword, and the witch spread aura. Both of them seemed determined to follow my command until the demon lord was defeated. I nodded once and then shouted at my deaths.
“Hundred ghosts!”
The bones of Sichuan growled softly.
“Show us what you’re best at!”
I ordered.
“Kill, die!”
The Legion obeyed my orders.
-Goooooo!
Skeletons rushed in all directions. Jump up! The monster with only bones remaining was light. It jumped high in the air and landed on the orc’s head. He clamped down on the orc’s neck with his bony legs and stabbed the dagger with both of his arms.
Sigh! Phew!
The skeleton swung its dagger like crazy. The orc’s eyes, mouth, and throat were torn by the blade. The orc let out a short sigh and fell to the ground. The impact of his fall shattered the skeleton’s left arm, but he did not stop. Just hurry and run towards your next prey.
-Keeeeee!
Elsewhere, a goblin screamed in pain. A skeleton whose body has been shattered and all that remains is a skeleton. It bit the goblin’s forearm using only its teeth.
-Gooooh!
-Keeee!
Other skeletons also gathered around the goblin. They were all skeletons, broken in some places.
A broken arm. The leg disappeared. Losing your head.
But everyone was holding daggers. Kiik! The goblin struggled, but it was a useless struggle. The skeletons surrounded the goblin and slashed their swords.
The fountain of blood burst.
-Wow, f*ck.
Bae Hu-ryeong stuck his tongue out.
-Look at who those skeleton bastards look like, and how strong they are. An army of monsters that aren’t afraid of dying. What is that. It’s scary!
Massacres took place all over the plains.
The Demon King trembled with anger.
-dare!
Clean water poured out continuously from the shadow of the Demon King. If the water was red, I would have thought it was the blood of the devil. The Demon King was screaming as if he was vomiting blood.
-You are not qualified!
The Demon King’s scream resounded in the sky.
-A mere person from another world!
I hit the ground.
-One who does not carry any malice, resentment, or life in this world! How dare you block my path!
It echoed between heaven and earth.
“Does it matter where you come from?”
I spoke with that echo in front of me.
“I am standing here now. However, if you consider this alone to be insufficient qualifications…”
The echo had not yet subsided.
I heard a voice in my head.
[Top gives you tinnitus.]
As if someone who has watched me for a long time is blessing me.
As if congratulating me for finally being free from the prison of time.
[Your nickname is Death King.]
The voice rang out for a long time.
[Homage to the king who harvests death.]
Yes.
Someone remembers me.
Even if I die for a day and die again.
Someone knows why I am standing here.
That’s enough.
“Don’t meddle.”
I picked up my sword.
And he said to the enemy:
“The tower is proof of my qualifications.”
Death King.
That was my second name.
