Change (1) – Hanmaeum Salvation Church 3rd floor

“Um, what the fuck is that guy talking about?”

“Ayoung Yoon, Shin Woo Shin. Come behind me.”

I ignored Kim Cheol-soo’s whining and called Yoon A-young and Shin Woo-woo.

After quickly checking the two people standing behind me, I spoke again.

“Starting today, you will become glorious ordinary believers of the ‘One Mind Salvation Church.’ As the leader of the Salvation Church, you must obey my words, but if you follow along well, you will be rewarded sufficiently… ”

“Puhahahaha, he’s the leader of a cult and he’s a bitch―”

Puddukduk-

A bloody sound of bones being twisted.

I deliberately waved my hands back and forth in front of everyone.

Their trembling gaze leaves my hand and follows a straight line.

“Ugh, wow!”

As my hand moved, Kim Cheol-soo’s head kept twisting at an abnormal angle.

Lee Kyung-min, who was next to him, started urinating profusely and going crazy.

“The rule for the fairy in the original tutorial is to kill the first human who flutters.”

“Ugh! Ugh, uhhh!”

“Kyungmin, do you want to die too?”

“Sigh― Ah, ah, ah, no, ah!”

thud-

Kim Cheol-soo’s body, which was supported by telekinesis, fell pathetically on the floor.

The tongue that was sticking out of the mouth that was fluttering was put inside.

“… … .”

In the chaos of quiet shock and fear, I resumed my interrupted words.

“Well, you guys… Oh, fuck! You forgot how much I said!”

“Now, if you follow along well, you even mentioned a sufficient reward.”

“Ah, I remembered. Thank you, Ayoung.”

“Hehehe―”

He grunted and cleared his throat.

“If you obey and follow my words, I will guarantee you a comfortable bed, delicious meals, and sufficient amenities. Anyone have any questions?”

“… … .”

He was a political opponent, which was expected since the leader of the opposition, the late Kim Cheol-soo, died after twisting his neck.

I continued to look at Seong Ga-eul, who was strangely quiet.

The person who seemed to oppose it most passionately remained in his seat, half-fazed.

‘I guess something else happened in the process of persuading Kang San.’

Kang San also says that his brother did something for him and that he even left a gift like this on his way.

Ah, the river that gives generously.

Your camp and girl, I’ll eat you well.

At a religious facility, I touched the [stone statue of the religious leader] and installed it right next to me.

At that moment, the holy light began to fall and hit the spot in a straight line.

And then a huge stone statue of me slowly came down from the ceiling.

thud-

[The first holy relic of ‘One Mind Salvation Church’ is born!]

[Special Achievement ‘It’s not Holy Water, it’s a Holy Item! You have achieved ‘Do you understand?’]

[Various items related to religion are in stock in the store!]

[Your faith resonates with the light emitted by the holy relic!]

[(200/H) -> (300/H)]

Along with the sound of it landing on the floor, a flash of light that made you blink began to explode.

“Keuugh―”

I slowly opened my eyes while listening to Seo Taesan’s groaning.

There was nothing particularly special about the appearance of the stone statue.

What was special about it was that it had the face of a great figure often seen in schools and tourist attractions, and that it was made of white marble that seemed a bit expensive.

[Priest Stone Statue Lv.1]

[This is the first sacred relic of the One Mind Salvation Church and a sacred stone statue in the shape of its leader. The longer you look at this statue, the greater your faith and happiness will increase. Instill 5000 faith to the next level.]

[Holding Faith: 5900 (300/H)]

Ha, maybe because it was a holy relic, the faith required to raise one level was astronomical.

With tears of blood in my eyes, I placed my hand on the statue.

The white energy flowing from my body began to be completely absorbed by the statue.

Ugh-

At the same time as the sacred sound effect, the size of the statue grew to a point where it was clearly visible to the eye.

[The seal on the holy object is unlocked by one level!]

[The power of the ‘Cultist Stone Statue’ is revealed!]

[‘Heavenly Shield’ spreads over ‘One Mind Salvation Church’!]

Paaah-

The light emanating from the head of the religious statue slowly began to expand outside the library.

Grumble-

When I opened the window with telekinesis and checked, I saw that a curtain stretched right in front of the library was protecting it.

Just hearing the name of the power gave me goosebumps.

[Heavenly Shield]

[The shield created from the relic protects the sanctuary from all threats the cult leader does not allow.]

I was just amazed by the power of the simple explanation.

This meant that as long as the religious leader’s statue, or sacred relic, was not destroyed, I had an absolutely safe area.

‘and! This is just a level increase, but the ability is crazy?’

It wasn’t worth the 5000 faith at all.

No, even if it was ten times the price, I would have gritted my teeth and bought it and upgraded.

[Priest Stone Statue Lv.2]

[…] Instill 10000 faith to the next level.]

Although the required faith was twice as high, I felt that it was not excessive at all.

You can obtain an ability similar to ‘Heavenly Shield’ by saving it for just two days!

Faith, starting today, I had to gather my faith with the determination to die.

Just as I was trying to gather my thoughts, I smelled a stinging smell that stung my nose.

Only then did I find Lee Kyung-min standing awkwardly with his pants wet with urine.

“Kyungmin.”

“Yes, yes, brother.”

“Ordinary believers are arrogant and say, “Brother,” so call me “leader” from now on.”

“Yes, yes! Church, teacher!”

“Go change your clothes and come back. If you don’t have it, take it off.”

“All right, I’ll go right now!”

I sent Lee Gyeong-min running up the stairs like he was being chased and looked at Kim Cheol-soo’s body.

“CNU.”

“Yes, yes! Cult leader!”

As expected, our CNU will probably live forever thanks to his sense of humor.

Shin Jung-woo could be seen feeling relieved as he nodded in satisfaction.

At that moment, a very funny situation came to mind.

“Well, what should I do with the zombies?”

“Yes, yes?”

“That’s it. I had no choice but to deal with the zombies.”

“Uh… , that that… ”

Shin Jung-woo couldn’t hide his embarrassment and looked away.

I asked Yoon Ah-young, who was behind me, again.

“Ayoung, what is that?”

“Joe, it’s a zombie! Oh, you killed a very bad zombie!”

“How did our Ayoung fall in love with you so much? It’s a long way for CNU to catch up, right?”

“Well, I’m only a little better than that pee pee!”

Now Lee Kyung-min has become an official pee-peeer.

In that respect, isn’t Yoon Ah-young also on the losing side?

Yoon Ah-young’s face was filled with shame as she whispered, ‘You?’ with a mischievous expression.

“Chinwoo, if you said this, you should understand. Aren’t you going to clean it up?”

“Yes, yes! Cult leader!”

Shin Woo, who hurriedly ran over, grabbed both of Kim Cheol Soo’s legs and dragged him.

Every time the sound of a dead body dragging on the floor passed by, a look of fear appeared on the faces of the believers.

“Everyone goes up to the rooftop.”

Sigh-

Rather, the believers left the reading room as if they had been waiting for my order to congratulate them.

uh… ?

Normally, in times like this, everyone’s legs are frozen, so I said, ‘I won’t say anything…’ ‘Everyone can’t go out!’ I had to say something powerful like this… .

Fuck, the human survival instinct was truly great.

“Ah, Eunbyeol Kim. You stay.”

“Yesss?!”

Kim Eun-byeol was the one who told him to stay, but a startled scream was heard right next to him.

After calming down Yoon Ah-young, who was falling into needless despair, I had Kim Eun-byeol sit next to me again.

“Ayoung, don’t eavesdrop and stay upstairs.”

“Hibbung―”

After confirming that Yoon Ah-young, who was planning to eavesdrop on the conversation on the minimap, was moving up, I asked Kim Eun-byeol.

“What do you think?”

“What… yo. this? Teacher.”

The librarian who had always been cool from the moment we first met was no longer there.

His confident eyes and tone of voice became slightly dead after witnessing Kim Cheol-soo’s death.

But of course it was not a complete surrender.

I could tell just from the way she spoke, but more than anything, I couldn’t see any ‘proof of faith’ on her body.

“It may be bias, but wouldn’t a librarian read books often? Is there really nothing you want to know about me in this situation?”

“… Yes, leader.”

Short answers and consistent ignorance.

On the contrary, the more I asked, the more interest I felt was waning.

He telekinetically removed the glasses from his slightly bowed face.

I forced my trembling face up to enjoy it, as if I was thinking about Kim Cheol-soo’s final days.

Of course, to determine whether she is truly beautiful or not, you have to take off her glasses first.

Just by eliminating the prescription glasses, her appearance improved.

His characteristics as a librarian and his mature appearance gave off a strange charm.

Although she is a little older than Yoon Ah-young and Seong Ga-eul, there are many people who prefer this look.

‘Should I eat it right now?’

I shook my head at the biggest problem in my life that suddenly occurred to me.

Even if she was forced to eat it now, she wouldn’t immediately become a fanatic.

So it didn’t feel like Yoon Ah-young, and that awkward posture was more obedient than Seong Ga-eul.

There was no spark of interest. The charm of humanity itself has not yet reached me.

‘Fuck, is it already time to pick and eat?’

First of all, the second goal was always Seonggaeul.

I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to make a hill for Seong Ga-eul, who would be tormented so much in the future.

Because women find great comfort in relationships with people.

However, if you actually use scissors, I won’t forgive either of you.

“Just go up too.”

“… Yes.”

After hearing the answer, I immediately checked the system I needed.

I touched the ‘priest statue’ and moved it to the other side.

[It costs 100 faith to move the ‘Statue of the Church’. Do you want to move it?]

Okay, once you install it, you can modify it by paying a certain amount of faith.

[It costs 100 faith to remove 1 tile from the library wall. Do you want to remove it?]

Removal of the building was also possible.

Okay, this building will also be thoroughly remodeled to my taste.

At the moment I was installing the ‘Statue of the Church Leader’, I remembered the notification in the store window that new items were in stock.

(Search for the product you want!)

[‘One Mind Salvation Church’ general believer uniform: 100 faith]

[‘One Mind Salvation Church’ Awakening Shinto Uniform: 150 Faith]

[Frame containing the cult leader’s holy image: 200 faith]

… …

[tip! After building the ‘Promotion Center’, you can stock custom products!]

As expected, many items related to religion were updated.

The ‘Kimha Promotion Agency’ written on the tip caught my eye.

To find out what kind of facility it was, I looked for the Promotion Center in the religious facilities under the tab, but it was not there.

This also seemed to be a hidden facility that only appeared when unknown conditions were met.

As I sat down and tinkered with this and that, I felt like I was growing into the early stages of tycoon-type games.

Otherwise, it was similar to laying the initial foundation for the RTS genre.

As I thought about it that way, as if I were a former gamer, ideas and directions began to well up in my head.

First of all, whether scouting or farming, strengthening the main base was the first priority.

Because an idiot who doesn’t even build his own house properly and invades someone else’s house is bound to destroy himself.

Rooms for believers had to be built, and the stone statues had to be upgraded quickly.

Also, the religious facilities that had been lifted had to be built one by one, and convenience facilities were urgent matters for me as well.

When I thought about it that way, I realized that there were a lot of places to use faith, but the sources of supply were very limited.

[Possessed Faith: 900 (300/H)]

Fuck. Faith, faith was so desperately needed.

But it didn’t matter.

Because I can earn from now on.

That was part of the reason why all the believers were sent to the rooftop in the first place.

It was simple to become ‘Rabbit Gyudyu’, the symbol of a deceased person, both in the game and in reality.

All you have to do is continue to perform repetitive tasks with high efficiency.

‘Now the zombies around here are drying up.’

I had to start working on my faith.
