I Login Alone

Chapter 154.

The flame burned up beautifully. The rising smoke blended with the sunset, turning it a golden color.

“It burns well.”

“Every one of these will be turned into mana. And in the end, new lives will be born.”

“I hope there will be fewer monsters….”

The first thing that the people did on the battlefield was treating the wounded and burning the dead. The importance of it was in the possibility of the dead turning into Undead due to the power of Setnak.

“I’m not sure with the other world. But in our world, only the high nobles could afford a funeral and bury the dead. After all, they could use the Cleanse magic that denied the power of Setnak….”

“Is that so?”

Jung Si-woo nodded at the explanation from the native and blankly stared at the glowing flame, then he took a step back.

“I wish you guys all the best.”

“Ar-are you just leaving?”

“Huh?”

He planned to leave quietly, yet an unexpected response came. The wingless civilians and the resistance forces were looking at him in surprise.

“I, I thought you would stay with us.”

“Are you crazy? My world is also busy with things.”

“Oh my…”

The horrified expressions of people, that’s something Jung Si-woo knew well. The unshakable fear, frightened by the possibility that the world could be taken over once again by the monsters.

“You guys have to protect your world with your powers…I might visit occasionally, but I can’t live here.”

“Aaaaah.”

“But.”

Jung Si-woo added few more words before leaving those people for the earth. He remembered Luta’s advice.

“I could bring some of you with me if you want. Of course, I only take in talented people.”

“Some of us…?”

The survivors looked at each other and tilted their heads. Jung Si-woo realized his words were irresponsible and dumb, but he couldn’t take them back, so he decided to wait for about 10 minutes before heading back to earth. And that was how after 30 minutes, Jung Si-woo introduced new members of the residential area to Beto and Luta.

“Herbalist Bolt and his daughter Nel who is studying potion alchemy. Farmer Simon and his wife Mona, Ah, Mona is good with baking bread.”

“You sure brought the talented people we need for daily necessities.”

Jung Si-woo continued with his explanation while tilting his head at Luta’s praise.

“The people in that world thought that I was looking for talented combatants. So after I corrected them, there was a competition among the production class, and I brought two pairs of the most talented ones.”

“I, I’ll be in your care.”

The 40 years-old Bolt had a deep knowledge of herbs and was quite an introvert, while the 12 years-old Nel had a similar personality as her father, but she was honest with her curiosity, unlike him. Simon and Mona, a couple in their 30s, gave off quite the normal impression. Still, they were respectable and talented people, to the point that the others were considerate enough to appoint them to stay at a place less harsh than Potupou.

“A place that’s vast, yet without monsters exist….”

“It’s incredible. I feel safe already.”

“Th-thank you for having us here.”

Of course, they knew very well that Jung Si-woo brought them in for a reason. However, it was better for those who weren’t chosen as resistance forces to live in a peaceful place. They were simply thankful for this fact.

“H, Hello.”

“Hi.”

Moreover, Bolt was happy to meet with a boy who was the same age as his daughter.

“You’ve made a new friend, Nel.”

“Yup!”

[Ahem…Hmmmm…]

Caina, who has been overly protective with her brother, kept touching her sword out of irritation already. Still, Beto was clueless about the relationship between a man and a woman, so he seemed rather happy to meet a friend of his age. Nel felt the same too.

“Beto is a guy, yet he is so pretty.”

“I, I’m not pretty. I’ll be a man soon. And Nel smells nice because she is a girl.”

Jung Si-woo decided to completely ignore such an innocent conversation. After putting a stop to Caina, who plotted to slice up Nel, he provided the two families with houses.

“There are a lot of naturally grown plants already. Don’t overdo it and just acquire land that you can manage to harvest crops on.”

“I’ll do my best. Ah, but…are there animals aside from the plants?”

he’d

“Haha, no way there are…”

[Moooooo.]

Jung Si-woo cut his line short and turned his head. And he saw a cow munching on grass.

“What on earth happened in here!?”

“As if you ever took an interest in things happening in the residential area.”

“Well…”

Luta once told him that the residential area would change fast as Jung Si-woo brought in people who had the right aptitudes, but he didn’t expect the entire environment to change along with the progress in infrastructure! He brought the cow to Simon with an expression of shock. Simon planned on even raising chickens to gather eggs. When Jung Si-woo asked whether he wasn’t pushing himself too much, he smiled and replied.

“There will be another member in my family.”

“What do you…ah.”

Mona stood beside Simon while touching her not-so-swollen belly while smiling softly. Jung Si-woo finally realized why those people were so eager to send them here. They just wanted to give hope to the new life.

“But working while raising a child will be hard.”

“Don’t worry about it, and let me do my job. Mr. Bolt told us that he’d give us herbs that are good for the body, so it’s fine.”

Perhaps there was a trick in living in a fantasy world after all. Jung Si-woo looked at them smiling, and he had to nod along. And that’s how the task was given to the farmer couple.

“This is the map of the residential area. It’s not detailed, but…and this place is the spot you shouldn’t enter.”

“Understood. Then aside from this place…?”

“Yup, everywhere else is all right.”

Things with Bolt were taken care of in an easier way. Jung Si-woo allowed him to freely roam around the area except for the secret shop and the entrance to the Abyss (the lake deep inside the forest). The tasks given to them were analyzing the herbs grown inside the residential area and processing them through Nel. Those were their tasks.

“If there are more people here, your abilities will be of great help. So things are fine in the meantime. I’ll take care of your livelihood here.”

“I, I’m counting on you. I’ll do my best.”

Bolt was a herbalist by nature who felt proud of gathering herbs. It seemed that he was satisfied with the environment of the residential area herbs, unlike Potupou and Earth. With them, people could take care of their livelihoods in this place. Then, it was time for Jung Si-woo to tend to his work.

“I’m sorry for intervening in your conversation with your friend, but…Beto, I’ve brought the fragment of a legion god. Can it be strengthened?”

“Yes, Master. I’ve completed it by investing all the remaining materials.”

Beto and Caina left Nel and headed inside the forge. Then, they brought out a giant metal object in front of Jung Si-woo. It was a Gatling gun that a normal adult could barely manage to lift by using both of his arms, with ten layers of barrels that were more than 30mm caliber. Nobody could carry this before the appearance of the mana in the past, and it required cutting-edge technology to deal with the recoil.

“I couldn’t customize it…so it’s still under progress. I managed to finish the magic circle but not with the power source….”

“Don’t worry; you’ll acquire it soon…hmm.”

Surely, those restrictions weren’t relevant to Jung Si-woo. After lifting the bigger gun than the lightning god’s Rage Rifle without a problem with one hand, he tossed and caught it in the air to get on hold of its weight before nodding.

“Shall we try it out?”

There were two sacred treasures from the legion god on his hand, which he saved for this moment. The bystanders took a step back out of surprise, but Jung Si-woo struck it hard onto the Gatling gun without any hesitation.

“Kyaaa!”

“Haaa…!”

Their screams were satisfying. He grinned widely as he controlled his mana. The influence of the god was completely cut off the moment it became his possession. What he had to do was to apply them fully onto the Gatling gun. As the treasures were giant clusters of power, it wasn’t easy to melt them down onto the Gatling gun, but the magic circle wrote all over the gun started to absorb them. A red magic circle that was darker than the flames and denser than blood began taking form.

“As expected from Master!”

“It thanks to you as well, Beto.”

Beto finished up with the base material just by hearing out what Jung Si-woo wanted. Jung Si-woo accelerated his mana while complimenting Beto endlessly. The concentrated Dragon’s Dignity analyzed the powers of the Gatling gun and the legion god in detail, and it fully separated Jung Si-woo’s mana from combining with them.

The power of Steal plundered equally from everyone, crushing the spirit to make it reborn as Jung Si-woo’s power.

“Ahhh…”

Even those that didn’t know well about mana couldn’t help but be amazed by it. They even forgot the fact that those objects haunted them before. The bright light from the mana gradually thinned down as Jung Si-woo completed the enhancement while applying the mana that tried to escape from the Gatling gun. The weapon shined out with a metallic color.

“Complete.”

“Someone would think that you’ve finished cooking some meal.”

After smiling lightly at Soo Ah-rin, who was laughing dumbfoundedly, Jung Si-woo checked the weapon’s status.

[Legion Extermination Cannon]

[Rank – S+]

[Attack Power – 5,300 – 5,800]

[Skill Level – 0/30,000]

[Option – 1. Duplicate 49 bullets in the cartridge when a magic bullet skill is activated 2. ???]

[The birth of a weapon that can solely handle an entire legion after tweaking the power of the legion god into a direction that suits its purpose.]

“Woah.”

Jung Si-woo had this in his mind. Viva, the power of God. This was when he acquired two S-ranked weapons.
