Chapter 102. Now I Will Stand in the Sky (3)

A week of deep sleep? I actually like it.

The only things that piled up were updates about my units—no, my followers—and unread community posts. The Tribal Federation remained intact.

I had warned Paya and Muri about potential side effects before using “Unstable Manifestation.”

“We could tell nothing bad happened because we could hear Malak’s steady breathing.”

According to Lakye. Everyone must have been reassured by his explanation.

“…Still, a guardian worries.”

What kind of worry is that supposed to be?

While he apparently spent all day holding Totem #3 and sticking close to Totem #1, everyone else was diligently fulfilling their duties.

“I never knew digging was such hard work… I didn’t expect to feel the sensation of shoveling at my age.”

Harry brought the giant machine to Symphonia and hid it underground. He said he found a good spot with the help of “Mole” Lakye, who’s good at digging.

He brought all the parts and devices, so there were no maintenance issues.

“Well, I just believed in Malak!”

Kanto was earning points by going on hunts with the warriors.

“I hunted demons lurking around Tibera with Priestess Paya and Luna!”

Noah went on an adventure with our Tribal Federation’s girl group and achieved great results.

She’s now level 4. She chose Purification for her skill.

“I want to change the Tribal Federation’s symbol and flag. I feel the current ones don’t properly represent Malak. I’ll call some people who worked as artists…”

– Go ahead.

Yeah, that worm drawing on the flag was pretty bad. I granted Rachel’s request. She’s a good friend who handled administrative duties for a week.

[NotACatfish: Why are you ignoring all my messages?]

[NotACatfish: Do you really want to die?]

[NotACatfish: Hey!]

[NotACatfish: I know you’re not dead???]

Only after appeasing the upset Hannah did I finish the week’s worth of accumulated work.

I didn’t forget to make the excuse to other users that “Malak told me to stay quiet” to prevent suspicion about both Malak and I being absent simultaneously.

Mental issues… don’t seem to be a problem. I feel refreshed after a good sleep.

I checked my status window.

[Name: Malak]

– Available Blessings: Healing Totem (Superior), Divine Possession, Binding Totem, Zombie Control (High), Chaos Totem, Storm God’s Power, Malak’s Domain (Low), Enhancement Tattoo (Low), Transfer Totem

– Used Blessings: Berserker’s Soul (Kanto), Skilled Spirit Master (Paya), Totem Guardian (Lakye), Potential Explosion (Lakye), Unstable Manifestation

– Available Points: 8,700

– Followers: Paya, Lakye, Muri, Nix, Bojak, Sola… (See more)

– Enter Community

As expected, “Unstable Manifestation” was in a used state. The good news is that I received plenty of points for defeating the shadow demon.

If I take down two or three more high-ranking demons, reaching 20,000 points won’t be just a dream. It won’t be long before I use manifestation to finish off the demons.

Of course, I’m not underestimating high-ranking demons. The shadow demon was clearly specialized in corruption or terraforming rather than combat.

Even that stingray demon that Charon rode would be stronger than the shadow demon. Not to mention the cloud demon, which is exceptionally powerful among the high-ranking ones.

Now, let’s check the community. This is the moment I’ve been looking forward to.

Let’s see how everyone reacted to my awesome manifestation, starting from a week ago.

[ShotgunAttack: What am I looking at?]

ShotgunAttack was the first to announce it. One of the users who commented when I first posted.

He uploaded a photo of my body floating in the sky. The post was filled with profanity, likely from shock.

– Comments –

[TrustedMonkeyUncle: What is it what is it]

[Ghoulr: Isn’t it just a dragon-like demon?]

ㄴ [GoldenDragonKing: If it’s that big, it must be high-ranking or above]

ㄴ [Dorip: Is this a high-ranking demon Asian package?]

[SexySexKnight: Wow~! Asian dragon has! appeared! diary.maybe~]

[MeleeSpy: ?!]

ㄴ [MeleeSpy: Is this photoshopped?]

ㄴ [ShotgunAttack: Would I photoshop this?]

[NotACatfish: Dragon?]

Ah, this is when Hannah sent me a private message. She asked if it was really Malak. Of course, I couldn’t reply because I collapsed after the manifestation ended.

The next posts were all filled with dragon talk.

[FullPlay: What’s with the dragon?]

[FallenPowerKnight: Is it really a high-ranking demon?]

[TrustedMonkeyUncle: Judging by its appearance, it’s cloud-level]

[OneSlice: Do we have to kill that too, besides the cloud? We’re in trouble]

Some users in the community tried to get answers from veteran users.

[TrustedMonkeyUncle: (Help!) MeleeSpy!

MeleeSpy, who tries to teach us through the EunuchBro series, might know the identity of that dragon!

Everyone trusts MeleeSpy who killed AtomicRex and high-ranking demons, right?

Bro! Tell us!]

I’m curious about this too. Would MeleeSpy know something?

– Comments –

[ShotgunAttack: If it’s really MeleeSpy?]

[FullPlay: It’s not impossible]

[MeleeSpy: Hmm…]

ㄴ [MeleeSpy: Dunno?]

ㄴ [TrustedMonkeyUncle: ㅡㅡ;;]

ㄴ [FullPlay: What’s “dunno”? You don’t know?]

ㄴ [FallenPowerKnight: If even this guy doesn’t know, what kind of high-ranking demon could it be?]

Nope~ Not a chance.

If even MeleeSpy, who is estimated to be near max level or already at max level, doesn’t know, then I guess there are no users who know about Loa Malak except for my followers and Dina’s special forces?

I continued scrolling down to check the comments.

ㄴ [MeleeSpy: Something of that caliber is only one besides the cloud]

ㄴ [MeleeSpy: But it should be guarding the capital…]

ㄴ [TrustedMonkeyUncle: What the fuck are you saying there’s another cloud-level thing???]

ㄴ [Bramanda: MeleeSpy, you’re not joking, right? Is that true?]

ㄴ [LoveDeathNyang: Nyang nyang nyang…(in despair)]

ㄴ [MeleeSpy: Master “EunuchBro…do you know?”]

ㄴ [MeleeSpy: EunuchBro “I don’t know, Master…something like that…”]

ㄴ [TrustedMonkeyUncle: Wasn’t EunuchBro fighting with the Master right now?]

ㄴ [MeleeSpy: Oh right]

ㄴ [MeleeSpy: Tsk]

ㄴ [MeleeSpy: Pretend you didn’t see that]

ㄴ [NotACatfish: Idiot]

Anyway, I learned that there’s something cloud-like near the capital. MeleeSpy has been saying “there’s something in the capital area” for a while, and that something might be it.

I checked my private messages briefly to see if there was anything else. Many people besides Hannah had sent me messages.

Hmm, there are some usernames I don’t recognize. Users I have no connection with.

[PuPuPung: Um, you’re Malak’s herald, right? I’m Gukbap. I’m a member of Dina’s special forces who fought alongside Malak. Are you watching the community now? Is the dragon in the photo Malak?]

What? This person was Gukbap? When we met offline, why did they call themselves Gukbap instead of PuPuPung? Was PuPuPung that embarrassing?

Come to think of it, I’ve seen this user somewhere before. I searched for “PuPuPung.”

On the day I first accessed the community, they posted “Where is the Cathedral?”

The Cathedral is listed as the final destination in the status window of paladins level 7 or higher. Were they level 7 back then?

There were also messages to Siwoo and Noah.

[MorningTentSetupKnight: Dragon! That’s Malak, right? Has he descended now?!?!?!]

[PetiteNoah: Malak manifested and then disappeared with a poof, what should we do? The priests say he’s not receiving prayers! Does the herald know anything?]

Ah, this must be from when I passed out after the manifestation ended. Lakye probably came later and explained that I was sleeping.

I’ll answer… all at once later. I closed the message window and went back to the community.

[TrustedMonkeyUncle: Real-time holy knight…giant robot sighting

(Photo of the giant machine moving in the distance)

Fortunately it was very far away…would have been squashed if it noticed me…

First the dragon, now this? What is it? Cyber demon?]

So they saw Harry controlling the giant machine. This user might live in a city near Symphonia.

Anyway, Malak and now a giant robot. Me and the Tribal Federation kept adding fuel to the community fire.

Even in this situation, Siwoo, Hannah, and Noah tried not to make mistakes by barely posting anything except nonsense.

They really are reliable friends.

[Bench500: Something…something is happening…]

[Bramanda: Is the final day coming?]

[Valkyria: Oppas, protect Kyria~]

All posted today. The bait hasn’t died down yet, as it seems to have made a big impression on many users.

Good. It’s time to execute the plan I had in mind a week ago, before I collapsed from overwork.

Something I’ve wanted to do since I first fell into this world.

The operation called “Promoting the Tribal Federation.” It’s about time.
