“What the heck? Something definitely seems different… … ”

As Shigure sat cross-legged, examining his own condition, numerous question marks floated above his head.

While she was groaning like that for a long time.

‘I guess it’s almost time.’

Do Yu-jin, who was watching from the side, called out to her and told her to open her eyes, while roughly explaining her current condition.

After hearing the entire explanation, Shigure’s reaction was simple.

Tsk-

“Is that really possible? Without any price?”

“No, it’s not without a price.”

How many points have I just spent on you?

The points earned by holding the Devil’s Fragment were all gone?

“It’s true that I’m the one lending you my strength, but you have to use your magic power as is.”

“That’s obvious! More importantly, it doesn’t make sense that I can use your power for that small price?!”

“What, this is the world.”

Do Yu-jin shrugged her shoulders slightly and said.

“There’s no particular reason why it shouldn’t be done.”

It may sound insincere at first, but at least in Do Yu-jin’s opinion, there could be no more accurate explanation.

Because the world they live in now is one where all the impossible can become possible with the birth of one baby with special powers.

“So… … The metaphor is a bit grandiose, but you can think of the system mechanism itself as the relationship between a god and a believer.”

When a believer offers his or her faith through prayer, the god who receives the prayer gives his or her power to the believer in the form of divine power.

Well, in Do Yu-jin’s case, instead of prayer, loyalty.

And in return, it was a little different in that he gave the power of his own special trait instead of magical power or divine power, but I thought that was within the margin of error and could just let it go.

‘Well, as for the trait, it seems that right now, the only thing that’s given is [Transparent and Distorted Being (6★)], which is the most suitable personality for Shigure.’

Sigh-

‘Even the ones given to me seem to be of a degraded level that can only be used to the level of a 1-star.’

Do Yu-jin grumbled quietly to herself.

Of course, it was not going to be like this forever, with no progress.

If Shigure were to train in [Transparent and Distorted Existence (6★)] or strengthen her loyalty towards Doyujin, thereby strengthening the passage of Gears that connects the two, the level of power she can receive would also increase.

‘Well, for now, it’s probably not much different from just wearing an invisible cloak.’

Although Do Yu-jin gave such a harsh evaluation, Shigure thought differently.

“Oh my god… … ”

Even though the world is full of all sorts of rules and mysteries and you never know when or how things will turn upside down, there is still basic common sense.

And the miracle that Do Yu-jin showed now could be seen as a frontal denial of such common sense.

It may be obvious, but martial arts and magic are two subjects that anyone can learn if they want to because they have their own established foundations.

But unlike the other two, the unique abilities that each person possesses, the powers that Doyujin commonly calls traits, are fundamentally closely related to the individual’s soul, or rather, their very existence.

That’s why it was common sense in this world that you had to put in the effort to melt flesh, tear muscles, and cut bones in order to find or develop it.

however……

‘But to pass on your talents to someone else in such a simple way… … ‘

As Shigure was so shocked, little goosebumps gradually appeared on her skin.

As I was thinking about this situation, a metaphor that was more intuitive than the relationship between believers and gods that Do Yu-jin had mentioned earlier came to mind.

‘Devil and Mine… … ‘

As his thoughts reached that point, Shigure unconsciously glanced at Doyujin.

‘I guess… it has some kind of connection with the devil?’

It’s only been a day or two since Shigure started to wonder about Doyujin’s true identity… … It’s true that they met in Japan, but in any case, the reason the scope of the investigation was narrowed down to this was because of the conversation we had last time.

‘That time, when I told her that I was a succubus, she made a strange expression on her face.’

Do Yu-jin simply made that expression because he didn’t know how to accept the situation where a man was called a succubus, but Shigure accepted it differently.

It’s like Do Yu-jin has a sad and heavy secret related to the devil.

And once that direction of thinking was set, the rest of the puzzle fell into place in an instant.

For example, why was Do Yu-jin able to eliminate the resentment that was deeply embedded in the villagers’ bodies?

‘Perhaps it was because he possessed the power of a demon that he was able to easily remove the curses of those monsters. Or maybe he possessed some kind of demonic knowledge that is not yet known to the world.’

… … something like that.

Glance-

‘The demonic power that this person possesses… … Is it perhaps of the erotic or dream demon type? Hmm, or maybe both… … ‘

If Do Yu-jin had heard this, she would have questioned him, asking what he thought of me, but Shigure had no choice but to infer it that way.

A beautiful appearance that makes your eyes clear just by looking at it, and a sexy charm that makes your heart and stomach ache just by being around it.

Like those who wander through dreams, they blur and distort their appearance, and like flowers reflected in a mirror, they are clearly present but do not reveal even the slightest presence.

It was a reaction to the word succubus, but it was reasonable to guess in this way when looking at the form of power that Do Yu-jin possessed.

‘I’d like to just ask, but… … I guess it’s better not to.’

A time of great upheaval.

In a time when countless dungeons were created and destroyed repeatedly, and various superhumans appeared and caused all kinds of chaos, people suffered from the sudden appearance of fields, magic realms, and villains who used their abilities for crimes.

‘And of all the damages that occur in this way, the most vicious one is said to be the damage caused by the devil.’

It goes without saying that even after such a long time, it is common to see people immediately pulling out their weapons when they meet a demon or a mine.

‘The reason he’s trying so desperately to hide his existence is probably to avoid the eyes of those people.’

Kuk-

‘No, maybe it’s just survival instinct… … ‘

She knew nothing about this man named Do Yu-jin.

But even with that kind of confidence, it was easy to infer that he didn’t have an easy childhood.

Kuk-

‘I said that anyone with demonic powers should be reported to Mine immediately upon discovery… … ‘

But Shigure didn’t do that.

Because Do Yu-jin’s existence is the only lifeline that can save his younger brother?

Of course, there was a reason for that.

That was the very reason she approached Do Yu-jin in the first place.

But now, the reason he couldn’t betray Do Yu-jin, who reached out to him first, even though she was prepared for his identity to be revealed, was more pressing.

Ps …

‘What, is this a useless thought now? Since I signed a contract with this guy, I’m probably half a mine now.’

Shigure smiled slightly, thinking that something was making him feel better.

‘That’s great. Now I can gain faith as I believe, and I don’t have to worry or fret about useless things.’

Of course, in return, he ended up giving him everything he had, but Shigure didn’t care one bit.

Because if it was to save my little brother, I could pay that price with a bright smile.

While Shigure was secretly making useless promises like that.

‘Why is this kid suddenly giggling by himself?’

Do Yu-jin looked at her with a puzzled expression.

“Then Shigure, from now on, you will observe the movements of the Black Dragon guys and gather the information I told you about before.”

After Do Yu-jin finished speaking like that, she glanced out the window.

The time when the moon begins to rise.

The time when I wrote it down on paper was gradually approaching.

‘Well, nothing much will happen, right?’

In the end, it was true that Do Yu-jin ran away and left Rumi to Chabia, but he wasn’t particularly worried.

Because he was confident that Chavia wouldn’t find out that he had done such a thing.

The moment he went to the meeting place with such a light heart, Do Yu-jin couldn’t help but think again.

“Hey, be honest with me.”

Kwak-

“You’re the one that gorilla bitch was looking for?”

The point is that the main characters in this game are all guys you can’t let your guard down on.
