Chapter 133. The Chronicle of Drifting Possessor (1)

I waited with other users for “MalJukStreetFuneralDirector” to finish his water drinking broadcast.

[MalJukStreetFuneralDirector: Phew. Now I can finally live

(Photo of completely emptied helmet)

The helmet was so hot I almost burned my hand. Had to cool it down a bit and wear iron gauntlets to drink.

I survived thanks to all of you. Without the community, I would’ve died from thirst or loneliness.

Thank you everyone]

At least the drinking water problem is solved. He can boil muddy water or groundwater, so there shouldn’t be any shortage for a while.

[DinosaurPunch: Now that you’ve had some water, get up and look for edible plants first. I’m a master gatherer. Just upload photos. I’ll identify everything for you.]

ㄴ [MalJukStreetFuneralDirector: Ah, yes! Thank you! I’ve received so much help from you, DinosaurPunch haha]

ㄴ [Ghooulr: This guy Maljuk is about to have grass porridge as his first meal lol]

ㄴ [CowBikiniDance: Perhaps it’s the true nutritional porridge?]

MalJukStreetFuneralDirector, or Maljuk for short, took pictures of various plants, trees, and fruits growing on the island and posted them.

[DinosaurPunch: The second, third, and seventh plants you posted are edible. The other plants are fine if you boil them. Just absolutely don’t eat the first plant. I almost died from the poison after chewing it a bit.

The second fruit you posted must never be eaten. It has a stronger sleep-inducing effect than sleeping pills, making you sleep like you’re dead. I was fine because I ate it in my hideout, but in your current situation, eating that would be disastrous.

If you boil and dry the bark of the fourth tree, grind it into powder, and apply it to wounds, it has an effect similar to painkillers. It numbs sensation to some extent, so don’t apply too much.

The sap from the fifth tree is edible. I’m not an isekai biologist so I can’t be certain, but it tasted similar to maple sap, so I think it can provide some sugar intake.]

DinosaurPunch provided extensive and useful knowledge, proving that his gathering diary posts weren’t for nothing, and this helped not only Maljuk but many other users as well.

[Ghooulr: Wait, that bluish-green fruit is edible? I thought it must be poisonous based on the color and didn’t even touch it]

[3Rep500: I don’t know about the rest, but that fantasy painkiller is amazing. I have that tree near my house]

[ITrustedTheMonkeyMan: Nice. Today we’re going with a kiddo vegetarian diet~!]

ㄴ [OneSlice: You should feed meat to a child, not make them vegetarian, you lunatic]

[NotACatfish: Tell us about hunting methods too, not just gathering. How can a person survive on just plants?]

Hanna’s here too. It feels like it’s been a while since I’ve seen her posting on the community. She’s usually busy with hellish training and demon subjugation, maybe she has some free time today.

Oh, I almost forgot. The reason I’ve been on the community since yesterday was to try contacting Dina.

Might as well do it now. I opened the message window. Dina doesn’t check the community or personal messages often, so contacting Hanna first is faster and easier.

[NotACatfish: What are you doing?]

Hanna messaged me first.

[Just resting. How have you been lately?]

[NotACatfish: Why are you suddenly asking how I’ve been? Did something happen?]

[Just]

[Wondering how you’re doing]

She gets really upset if I just state my business and end the conversation. To get good results, I need to pretend I’m interested in Hanna’s daily life.

[NotACatfish: Same as always]

[NotACatfish: Resting and training after finishing the last subjugation]

Dina’s special forces took down a high-ranking demon recently. They finally killed the one they’d been tracking since leaving after defeating Asha.

[NotACatfish: She’s working me even harder since I hit level 7. Dina is a complete psycho, a total psycho]

Hanna reached level 7 after killing the high-ranking demon. She’s become one of the top ten strongest among the living community users.

MeleeSpy, Princess Dina, Samurai Jackson, Ppuppupung(Soup), Sister Bella, Little Sister, and NotACatfish. Wow, my heart swells with pride.

I’m suddenly curious. How many high-ranking demons have been killed so far?

Dina’s special forces got two, MeleeSpy got one, Charon got three. The previous Pope got one through self-destruction.

Charon might have killed more. I only personally saw the stingray, the half-human half-demon, and the giant, but he might have lost other high-ranking demon zombies while fighting Roa. Let’s still count it as three for now.

I killed the shadow demon, the griffin demon, and yesterday’s beetle-like high-ranking demon, so add three more.

According to the Saint, the Imperial Army and the Goddess Church killed two high-ranking demons in a joint operation… so that’s eleven in total.

MeleeSpy said there were over seventy high-ranking demons. That’s probably counting those who came through the dimensional gate.

By now, there might be even more. Some probably evolved like the tunnel demon that was trying to become a high-ranking demon. In the end, we haven’t even killed a quarter of them.

We still have a long way to go. Even after obtaining divine manifestation, it won’t be easy to wipe them all out at once. Using divine manifestation for 20 minutes means sleeping like the dead for a week afterward.

This is why I want to recruit Dina’s special forces to join the tribal alliance. I need strong warriors who can defeat high-ranking demons and protect the tribal alliance when I’m absent, alongside Lakye.

[What’s your next target?]

[NotACatfish: Nothing right now. One of the Bella sisters got injured]

Wait, “one of the Bella sisters”? She still doesn’t know which one is the older sister and which is the younger? They’re comrades fighting back-to-back! Isn’t that showing too little camaraderie?

[I see]

I just coolly moved on. She was always like that. Her indifference toward others rivals Lakye’s.

There’s a difference though. Lakye sees people as beneath him, while Hanna is just unfamiliar with people. One’s an elitist, the other’s an outsider.

I continued pretending to be interested in Hanna’s daily life while gathering information about Dina’s special forces.

The special forces were not too far from Symphonia. Good. I’ll recruit them right after obtaining divine manifestation.

I’ve already thought about what to offer Dina’s special forces. It’ll be an offer they can’t refuse.

[Gotta eat something soon, bye]

I’ve found out all the information I needed. Let’s end it here before it gets too long.

[NotACatfish: What time is it that you’re eating now?]

[NotACatfish: You can still message while eating]

See? She’s desperate to continue the conversation. If I don’t cut it off, she’ll probably keep messaging all day until she goes back to training.

I don’t dislike talking with Hanna, but maybe because I’ve been talking a lot with Lakye lately, I just wanted to rest today.

I’m a person with higher introversion than extroversion, so I need rest time too.

[Nope, busy lighting the fire, cooking, washing dishes, just hectic]

[NotACatfish: Tch]

[NotACatfish: At least send a picture of what you’re eating]

[Too lazy, sorry]

I closed the message window and connected to the community again. I’m absolutely not running away because I’m afraid my lie about being a paladin might be exposed.

[MalJukStreetFuneralDirector: I got some barnacles

(Photo of a very suspicious-looking large barnacle)

It’s quite heavy. This should be edible, right?]

Hmm. It looks like something you shouldn’t eat. But in a world with colorful edible mushrooms, maybe it doesn’t matter?

[FullPlay: Even Earth barnacles are notorious for their bad taste]

[NotACatfish: That’s a ball of poison, you idiot]

ㄴ [MalJukStreetFuneralDirector: Oh no. Really?]

ㄴ [NotACatfish: Eat that and you’ll suffer from stomach pain. I only ended up with stomach pain because I’m a high-level paladin, but you’ll be half-dead]

Our Hanna must be really bored to be commenting. And look at her bragging about her level in the process.

Hanna lived in Martba near the sea for several months. If she says it’s poisonous, it probably is.

ㄴ [MalJukStreetFuneralDirector: I threw it away immediately. That was close. Thank you~]

By the way, this user has really good manners. Is it because he’s an older man (not confirmed)? He gives the impression of someone who hasn’t used community forums much, or if he has, only in very polite ones.

He might snap from despair in this reality and change like MeleeSpy. I’ve seen many users like that.

Even users who posted with specific concepts

I wonder how long he can maintain that politeness.

[MalJukStreetFuneralDirector: Is there a way to keep the fire going continuously?

I’m anxious not knowing when it might go out. It was windy at night…]

I can help with this one.

– Comments –

[UltraSansMadWithMoonlightMassacreMode: You need to make a windbreak. Stack stones to shield the fire. Think of it as building a wall for the fire]

Of course, I can say this easily since I’ve never actually done it myself. Anyway, books say this is how it’s done.

ㄴ [MeleeSpy: Is that something Malak taught you too?!]

ㄴ [MalJukStreetFuneralDirector: Thank you haha]

I completely ignored MeleeSpy’s comment and replied with ‘np np’.

Now that he’s secured water, fire, some edible plants, and a bit of seafood, maybe he’ll take a breather once he gets a bed?
