Jupiter

It was a little past 5 AM.

Jupiter logged into the game as always.

Unlike his small body in reality, he departs to a world where a knight of light, exactly as he imagines, exists.

After logging into Deron, he felt a distinctly heightened perspective and checked the length of his arms and legs.

The sense of incongruity he felt every time he logged in grabbed at his ankles.

Until the awkwardness from the large body disappeared, Jupiter had to sit blankly in front of the large fountain.

The time it took to get used to it was about five minutes.

Jupiter dusted himself off and stood up.

The knight of light with a gigantic height proudly gazed at his holy sword.

He could once again use the holy sword that he thought he could never use again.

It was time to set off on an adventure into the wide world.

Jupiter was famous.

In a bad way, that is. He had been kicked out of guilds several times because of the ugly derogatory terms that followed him.

But despite that, Jupiter said nothing.

Jupiter checked the guild he was currently in.

The guild was a very small guild with a little over 60 members. Because the others, except for the guild leader, had very low login rates, they didn’t pay attention to Jupiter. In fact, they probably didn’t even know he was a member.

Jupiter – [Hello.]

WeepingTree – [Welcome.]

Even though he must have known who he was, the guild leader kindly accepted his greeting.

Jupiter was slightly touched by that fact.

The conversation ends with the morning greeting. Thanks to the guild’s tendency to not interfere with each other’s affairs, Jupiter didn’t know what the guild leader was doing.

“Hmm…”

Role-playing.

It was time to indulge in the character he had set up.

Jupiter closed his eyes and summoned the knight of light sleeping within him.

When he opened his eyes again, he was no longer a human with a small body, but a knight of light chosen by the Sun God.

The knight of light was full of justice. He couldn’t stand injustice, and he always lent a hand to those in need.

It didn’t matter if they were NPCs moved by AI, not people.

“It seems you need my help.”

“Ah, are you an adventurer?”

“I am not an adventurer. I am a holy knight of light.”

“Perfect timing. Could you possibly do me a small favor?”

“If you need help, anything.”

“Waa~ Then please clean the stables behind me!”

“… Anything.”

The knight of light must be kind.

Jupiter silently cleaned the manure-smelling stables.

It was a quest that could be completed easily. It was also a quest that no one bothered with.

But sometimes, such quests would throw out special clues.

Just like this.

“Thank you for your help! I don’t think I could have finished it by myself today. This is a reward. Please accept it.”

[Old Lunaris Goddess Statue]

A goddess statue with a sacred aura.

It has not lost its holy divinity.

※Not Exchangeable

A good start.

Jupiter felt proud and gave a small smile.

Although it was not a human but an AI, just a doll that only answered within a set pattern, seeing the smile on the little girl’s face made him smile without realizing it.

“Thank you.”

The knight of light does not desire a reward, but does not refuse one either.

That was the setting Jupiter had decided on.

The knight of light began to travel again. In his hand was a small goddess statue.

In fact, after several expansion packs, Jupiter’s inventory was filled with miscellaneous items that he didn’t even know what to use for.

It was something that had happened because of his personality of completing all quests, but the hints that those items gave were all vague, so he couldn’t reach the end of those quests.

Probably, the goddess statue he received this time would repeat a similar situation.

It was when Jupiter left the capital city and had just arrived at the hunting grounds.

A group fight came into his view.

It was a fight between the human race wearing blue holy robes and the evil demon race.

At that moment, Jupiter’s eyebrows twitched greatly.

It was because the appearance of the demon race fighting the human race was familiar.

ChewyStickyCow. It was the guild of the Blood Demon King, whom he recognized as his arch-nemesis.

Indeed, even after the server was integrated, he’s waging war against other human races to spread his power.

Jupiter admired Yeon’s role-playing skills. At the same time, Jupiter’s gaze was moving busily.

It was to examine the appearance of the users wearing blue holy robes.

All the users are human. The group consisting of paladins, priests, and mages belonged to one guild.

Guild Name [Exorcist]

A guild name he liked.

They were similar to him. They were kindred spirits.

Jupiter felt a resonance in his heart. It was like seeing a close friend.

“Drive out the evil demons!”

“The judgment of God!”

Jupiter drew his sword. He was also a knight of light who worshiped the Sun God. Jupiter of the Holy Sword was on the side of humans.

That was the setting.

The brilliant holy sword reflected the sunlight and brightly illuminated the surroundings.

Jupiter aimed his holy sword and cautiously approached.

“Hey there. You, Exorcists.”

“Who are you…?”

“That, that weapon…!”

Indeed, Jupiter nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

They were role-playing users of the same type as him. If so, there was no way they wouldn’t recognize the appearance of this holy sword.

“Ah- this sword you mean? It’s called the Holy Sword Balmung.”

Although the unique options of the world item had disappeared, the appearance, its name, and the item grade were maintained.

“I, Jupiter of the Holy Sword, will join you.”

“The, the owner of the Holy Sword…!”

“The knight of light has come!”

Jupiter blankly opened his mouth at the reaction of the Exorcist guild members.

It was the first welcome he had ever received.

Bright smiles and gazes of admiration directed at him.

It was a type of thing he had never felt before.

“That bastard is…”

“Sparrow.”

Sparrow. It was a nickname given to him after he was sniped and killed during a strategic retreat.

It was a cute nickname, but it didn’t suit the knight of light.

Jupiter aimed his sword at ChewyStickyCow, the Blood Demon King’s subordinates.

“Ha…”

Sparrow. Jupiter’s joining wasn’t very frightening. He was alone, and his gaming skills were terrible.

The character’s stats were good, but that was it. It was just one more manpower.

The ChewyStickyCow guild members sighed at the frustrating situation.

Their guild master was a student. A very young student who hadn’t even graduated from middle school yet.

It was almost 6 AM. He couldn’t skip school, so the guild leader left.

Leaving the aftermath to them.

But not everyone could be logged into the game all day.

Just like the guild leader going to school, there were also those who went to work.

Therefore, the number of logged-in ChewyStickyCow guild members began to decrease significantly.

In contrast, the number of logged-in Exorcist guild members was increasing as time passed.

The fanatics flocking in from all directions caused a subtle fear.

“Charge! The owner of the Holy Sword is with us!”

The Exorcist guild began to attack with Jupiter at the forefront.

Thus, the battle began.

Swords clashed, and fire and ice flew towards each other.

It was fierce to the point of being desperate.

The ChewyStickyCow guild for their guild leader, the Exorcist guild to protect their concept, or rather, their beliefs.

Even until just before death, even while falling, their gaze was glaring at the opponent.

Deep anger was embedded in their eyes.

Jupiter swung his sword and became dazed. He swung the holy sword of light. Surely he was on the side of justice.

“Ugh…”

“Die! Evil demon!”

But why?

Jupiter’s gaze turned to the side.

A fanatic wearing blue holy robes climbed onto the body of a ChewyStickyCow guild member who had fallen to the ground and was already turning into a gray corpse.

The large sword held in his hand struck down on the corpse.

Jupiter’s movements slowed down. He had been caught up in the atmosphere, but it felt like he had been splashed with cold water.

“Owner of the Holy Sword! Wake up!”

“Ah.”

Jupiter was startled by the desperate voice and swung his sword.

Kang!

A rogue who was secretly approaching was knocked away.

The Exorcist guild members approached him and stabbed him with their respective weapons.

It was a battle where the numbers were more than twice as different from the start. There was no way they could be a match.

“Execute the demons!”

Of course, they won the battle.

Jupiter blankly watched the actions of the Exorcist guild members.

Insults, curses, attacks, etc. towards the gray corpse. They poured out actions that he couldn’t bear to watch.

Jupiter momentarily felt the illusion that red horns had sprouted above the heads of the people wearing blue holy robes.

“Thank you. Indeed, you are worthy of being the owner of the Holy Sword.”

“Do you have any thoughts of joining our guild?”

“What country are you from?”

Praise and questions poured out towards Jupiter. He was invited to join the guild.

Jupiter couldn’t laugh. It was a situation he had always wanted, a situation he had always imagined.

Why?

“Demons in the quest area!”

At that moment, a priest shouted. The gentle face of the person wearing glasses instantly distorted and turned red.

“We must leave right away!”

The Exorcist guild members, as if accustomed to this situation, hurriedly began to prepare to leave.

Then suddenly, Jupiter felt a gaze directed at him.

“Aren’t you going?”

“Owner of the Holy Sword. Didn’t you hear just now? Evil demons.”

Someone else wanted Jupiter to join them.

Jupiter, who had been standing blankly, slowly nodded.

Jupiter was dragged along by them.

His gaze struggled to detach itself from the spot where the ChewyStickyCow guild members had disappeared.

The place they arrived at was already in the midst of battle.

The sound of flashy and powerful skills was deafening.

The faces of the humans pouring out their hatred for the demons were distorted like demons.

“Join us!”

“Woooaaa!”

Jupiter, too, was swept into their ranks as if following the flow.

Demon race.

He faces the ChewyStickyCow guild.

It was a guild with a deep, bad relationship. Each and every face was familiar. They were not in a relationship where they would pour out hatred, even if they were wielding weapons at each other.

Jupiter’s holy sword was not drawn.

He just stood there silently.

“Hey!”

“Owner of the Holy Sword!”

They urge him from around him.

The knight of light pondered. He pondered and pondered again.

“Draw your sword! That holy sword!”

A crazy gaze is directed at Jupiter.

Jupiter, who had fallen into deep thought, was able to come to one answer with that gaze.

Seureureung-

The holy sword is drawn.

The brilliant holy sword was aimed at the Exorcist guild, not the demon race.
