Chapter 133. The Chronicle of Drifting Possessor (1)

A deserted island? This guy has quite the unusual fate. Not only did he get possessed, but he also ended up in a strange place.

ㄴ [DinosaurPunch: A deserted island? Please take a picture]

DinosaurPunch, a user who’s been around almost since the beginning, took the lead. He’s the one who’s been posting the gathering diary series since George’s raid team was wiped out.

ㄴ [MalddukStreetButcher: A picture? How do I send one?]

ㄴ [DinosaurPunch: Click on ‘Write’ and then ‘Attach Photo’ on the far right]

ㄴ [MalddukStreetButcher: Ah, I see]

[MalddukStreetButcher: I’ll send a picture

(A photo of a beach with an endless ocean stretching out)

I thought it was just a beach, but as I kept moving around, it seems to be an island. Not just any island, but quite a large volcanic one.

There are no people or traces of people. Though I might have missed something.

I’m really scared right now. If this isn’t some hidden camera prank, what am I supposed to do? Please respond quickly]

– Comments –

[ITrustedTheMonkeyMan: Wow, it really is an island?]

[SexySexKnight: Trapped alone on an island~ If it were me, I might have f.a.i.n.t.e.d~!]

ㄴ [Bench500: This isn’t a joke, you heartless bastard]

[ShotgunAttack: Wow. This is truly hopeless. I have no idea what to do or where to start]

[CowBikiniDance: That username is so tryhard lol]

[MeleeSpy: Why is this real?]

While everyone was getting excited, DinosaurPunch stepped up again.

[DinosaurPunch: Are you sure there are no infected, cultists, or demons?]

ㄴ [MalddukStreetButcher: Yes. I’ve been around the island and haven’t seen any. But is this really the world inside Surviving as Paladin? How is this even possible?]

ㄴ [DinosaurPunch: Whether this is the world inside the game or a real world similar to the game… I don’t know the details either. What’s certain is that you can feel pain and hunger, and if you die, it’s over]

ㄴ [MalddukStreetButcher: Ah…]

ㄴ [DinosaurPunch: Still, it’s fortunate there are no demons. You can make a cave your home, so food should be your main concern]

That might not be fortunate. No demons, cultists, or infected means no way to gain experience.

A high-level paladin might find a way to escape that island, but with level 1 paladin abilities, it seems almost impossible to leave.

Even from just the photo, the waves look extremely rough. Even if he managed to build a raft, it would capsize immediately.

Not wanting to crush his hope, I didn’t say anything. Unlike Hanna, I’m a sensible person.

ㄴ [Ghoulr: You need to make a fire too. You might freeze to death while sleeping]

ㄴ [MalddukStreetButcher: Food, fire… I understand for now]

ㄴ [Bramanda: Are there any animals on the island? Any plants?]

ㄴ [MalddukStreetButcher: Come to think of it, I haven’t eaten all day. I haven’t seen any large animals, but there are plenty of plants]

Many users actively helped MalddukStreetButcher, who had become an “isekai Robinson Crusoe.”

But these people seem to be misunderstanding something.

ㄴ [UltraSansMadWithMoonlightMassacreMode: You idiots, he needs to find drinking water first, not worry about food and fire]

Even though I graduated from a no-name university and lived as a convenience store worker, I know a bit about this stuff. I’ve read several survival novels.

You can survive without food for weeks, but without water, it’s hard to last three days. Fire can be delayed too. Considering he survived last night just fine, it doesn’t seem too cold yet.

Paladins who wake up in caves are fully equipped with armor, helmets, and shoes, so that shouldn’t be a major issue.

Water is the absolute priority.

ㄴ [Ghoulr: Ah, right. Have you had any water?]

ㄴ [MalddukStreetButcher: I was so thirsty I drank some seawater… I know I shouldn’t]

Oh no. If he keeps drinking that, he’ll get dehydrated.

ㄴ [ShotgunAttack: So UltraSans, do you know how to make drinking water?]

ㄴ [UltraSansMadWithMoonlightMassacreMode: No, sorry]

I know water is important, but I don’t know how to make it. I know you need to make a simple water purifier, but I don’t know how to build one.

ㄴ [UltraSansMadWithMoonlightMassacreMode: Does anyone know how to make a simple water purifier?]

I’m sure I’ve seen it somewhere, but I’ve forgotten.

[ITrustedTheMonkeyMan: Skynet, please tell us how to make a simple water purifier]

This idiot is acting up again. What would this fake AI know? He’s the one who slandered me, an Asian, calling me Baal or whatever. He probably won’t give a proper answer.

[Skynet: Making a simple water purifier requires professional knowledge and safety considerations, so it’s not recommended.

Since water plays an important role in our health and safety, it’s better to purchase and use reliable water purifiers or source systems]

ㄴ [ITrustedTheMonkeyMan: Go die, sir]

See? Just frustrating nonsense.

ㄴ [Bramanda: How about boiling water?]

ㄴ [DinosaurPunch: That’s the most standard method]

So we need to make a fire first after all.

ㄴ [MalddukStreetButcher: How do I make a fire?]

Ah, it’s not easy. Unless he has a lighter, matches, or a convex lens, making fire in that natural environment won’t be simple.

Since his level is low, he can’t use skills to start a fire like Siu did in that village where he got trapped while looking for Viagra.

“How about making this our final subjugation site?”

Lakye, who had finished preparing for the journey, showed me the map with Totem #3.

Ah, it’s already this time.

I felt sorry for that guy, but I had work to do. Other users were helping him, so they’d find a way somehow.

I checked the map.

Hmm. It’s quite far from here. Should we ride Toughie with Paya’s help and fly there?

…No. Though he’s not showing it, Lakye must be mentally and physically exhausted after fighting high-ranking demons two days in a row.

The final high-ranking demon we need to face possesses instantaneous acceleration, stealth, and the ability to generate deadly poison within its body.

The Holy Maiden said it annihilated dozens of imperial knights under the cover of night. It seems to have been quite infamous even before the apocalypse, with the nickname “Night Stalker Demon.”

If the half-human half-demon is a hunter, this one is an assassin. In its world, it might have been called “Grim Reaper” or “God of Death.”

Fighting it in this state would be suicide.

– Since it’s our final opponent, let’s conserve our strength as much as possible. No running.

Running and wasting energy doesn’t seem right. Let’s subjugate it in perfect condition.

“I’m fine.”

– I want to rest.

I’m worried. Me.

Accumulated fatigue could lead to critical mistakes. Since we have time, it’s right to control even minor variables.

“…Understood.”

Lakye quickly agreed when I was firm. He must have been tired too.

– Why don’t we leave the totem here and go rest at the tribal alliance for a while?

If we just leave the totem here, we can summon it again.

After briefly considering, Lakye shook his head.

“That would dull the blade in my heart. And I’m worried about losing Malak’s totem. I’m sorry.”

Well, that makes sense.

People naturally don’t want to do anything once they get under the covers. If he spends even a moment in the comfortable and cozy tribal alliance, everything will feel bothersome.

– I understand.

Lakye needs healing right now. I’m thinking of taking a leisurely road movie approach to the final subjugation. It’s not like the manifestation is urgent.

After exchanging a few words with Lakye, I connected to the community. It wasn’t that I was tired of the conversation; I just stepped back because Lakye was concentrating on finding the way.

[MalddukStreetButcher: I made a fire using flint and dry wood!

(Photo of twigs with sparks)

As you all suggested, I broke stones with the sword from the cave to make flint. It worked better than what I was using before.

I’m still blowing air into it with my mouth. I’m so happy]

That’s a relief. They say making fire is really difficult, but he did it. Like other users, I left an encouraging comment to cheer him on.

[MalddukStreetButcher: Where should I boil water? I don’t have any suitable container…]

Ah, I can help with this.

ㄴ [UltraSansMadWithMoonlightMassacreMode: Use your helmet]

ㄴ [UltraSansMadWithMoonlightMassacreMode: Filter the boiled water through a shirt or towel before drinking. There might be sand in it]

Using a helmet as a plate or cup is an old tradition. The story of soldiers on battlefields flipping their helmets to cook food is famous.

Isn’t the word “hot pot” derived from helmet cooking, where they boiled lamb and herbs?

ㄴ [DinosaurPunch: Wow. Good idea]

ㄴ [ShotgunAttack: That’s right. Since we all arrive armed when possessed, he should have a helmet]

I might be pretty smart.

[MalddukStreetButcher: Bubbling

(Photo of water boiling in a helmet)

It’s working well. Phew. I can breathe a sigh of relief]

It feels like watching a survival broadcast live.

Though there was no host’s commentary or vivid sound, it was stimulating and fresh, especially in this boring demon apocalypse world with nothing to do.

This is incredibly entertaining.
