Episode 215
215. Rune of Heroes
A week before Christmas.
An article that could be considered unconventional was posted on the Plseba Cafe.
<Title: [Promotion] If you join the Four Gods Church, you will receive 10,000 points on the spot!>
└Content: Hello. It is said that the leader of the Four Gods Church is Nogeinnogei.
First of all, I would like to express my sincere respect to the Plseva family who survived until the 12th round. You are truly amazing!
This is none other than our Church of the Four Gods, and we would like to recruit those of you who are warriors of reversal.
The Church of the Four Gods is an organization that worships Black Scythe, who is ranked number one in the entire region, and anyone who loves and admires Black Scythe can join, regardless of nationality.
However, subscribers must only be players, and they must bring an ID card (enter simple personal information when signing up).
However, unlike other religions, we do not charge any membership fees or donations (important)!
In addition, we are planning to hold a small event to commemorate the new denomination’s move to Seoul.
At 10 am on December 25th, we will give 10,000 points to those who join our denomination.
And that too from Black Scythe himself! We will come forward and trade points, so don’t miss out on the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone by signing up, receiving points, and meeting Black Scythe in real life!
Please note that existing subscribers will also receive immediate payment if they come, so please attend without fail!
Below is a three-line summary for those in a hurry.
◆Event period: December 25, 2022, 10 a.m.
◆Event details: As soon as you join the Church of the Four Gods, you will receive 10,000 points directly from Black Scythe (you must bring your ID card)
◆Directions: Sashin Bridge, 625 Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul
Points are currency that can be used in special shops.
It is considered more precious than gold because the angel himself announced that it cannot be earned by any means.
You get those points just by signing up?
Is that also 10,000 points?
People who were attracted by the aggressive title had no choice but to leave comments.
└Do you really get 10,000 points just by signing up?
└Of course^^
└The famous Black Scythe is coming in person?
└Yes! Take this opportunity to receive the real thing!
└Why did you choose to hold the event on Christmas Day? Is it because you want to see lovers fight each other?
└There is no such intention. I chose this date because I thought it would be meaningful to have an event during Easter. Really.
└That… … You can’t run away, right?
└Try it once. Let’s see what happens lol
└In reality, both the name and face are sold, so how can you run a scam?
└If you eat and run, Black Scythe will probably track you down and go get your head… … .
There were over 50 comments, but Heo Tae-seok happily responded to each one.
I’ve posted a lot of promotional posts, but this is the first time I’ve seen this much interest.
It’s only been two days, but the number of views has exceeded 120.
‘Currently, the number of Pseva members is 130, so it’s like you’ve read almost all of them, right?’
Considering that the number of views of the previous post was 20, it was an unusual record.
‘Will everyone be able to come?’
The long-awaited Christmas day has arrived.
Ryu Min and Heo Tae-seok waited for the believers in the front yard of the newly prepared church.
Because it was a well-located place, ordinary people often passed by and showed interest.
“How much time is left?”
“It’s currently 9 o’clock, so there’s one hour left.”
“It’s still a long way away, so I guess we can wait patiently.”
But the players showed up earlier than expected.
“Hello, is this the Shinigami Church?… … ?”
“you’re right! You’ve come to the right place. “I am the leader of the cult, No-Pye-In-No-Gay.”
“Well, then this person…” … ?”
The man’s gaze turned to the side.
This is Ryumin, wearing a white mask and carrying unusual equipment and a large scythe.
It wasn’t difficult to guess who it was just by looking at it.
“I am the black scythe.”
“Well, nice to meet you. It is an honour.”
While shaking hands lightly, Ryu Min tried to understand the other person’s inner thoughts.
It was to distinguish between good people and bad people.
‘I didn’t mean to join with bad intentions.’
He was a pure Plseba member who came with a longing for the Black Scythe.
‘Well, most of the Plseba members are people with no problems with their personality.’
Since they passed the personality interview anyway, there were no corners to be found.
“Hello, my name is Cardinal Eom Jun-seok. I will give you a turn number and a sign-up form, so please read them while waiting. “When the appointment time comes, we will help you sign up in order.”
The reason I didn’t sign up right away was because I didn’t have time for the appointment, but more than anything, I thought I might run away after signing up.
‘You can’t do that. ‘I need to gather as many people as possible.’
I had hoped that there would be more than 100 people, but that wish came true sooner than expected.
“Wow, is this the Four Gods Church?”
“oh my god! “I didn’t expect it, but it’s huge!”
At some point, people began to come in, making a loud noise.
As the appointment time approached, the number of people increased.
‘About 100 people was a ridiculous goal.’
There were still 20 minutes left until 10 o’clock, but I reached my goal.
‘If this continues, I don’t know if 130 people will be possible.’
This figure is possible if all Plseba members except the president come.
“Now that the time has come, I will help you sign up one by one. Starting from number 1, this way… … .”
Signing up was simple.
After sitting on a chair and taking a photo of your face on the spot, write your name, date of birth, phone number, and address on the sign-up form.
And, unless there is a natural disaster, I sign a declaration that I will attend the Four Gods Church service once a month.
This was a measure to prepare for people who just signed up but were not active.
Afterwards, face Ryumin and use the transaction function to receive points directly.
“Oh, really, 10,000 points… … thank you “Black Scythe.”
“Congratulations on becoming a member of the Four Gods Church. “Use your points well.”
“Can I go home now?”
“But I recommend going and listening to the speech if possible. “Because we plan to provide information that you will regret if you miss it.”
There was no one to have a long conversation with.
Because the next turn was waiting in line at the back.
click-
“It’s done. Next believer number 38?”
After going through a series of processes of taking photos, writing down personal information, and writing a memorandum, the transaction is made face to face with the black scythe.
It was a simple task, but there were so many people that it was busy.
Along the way, I met a familiar face.
“Black Scythe?”
“democracy?”
I already knew Minjoo-ri was coming.
Because Seonghwa asked me to go to the Four Gods Church together.
However, since the Prophet and the Black Scythe could not exist at the same time, they insisted that they go separately.
“This is my first time meeting you in real life, but you recognize me right away?”
“Because our faces are similar. And she also heard from the religious leader that she had already joined.”
“Hehe, my personal information is now known. Take responsibility. “Black Scythe.”
“Take responsibility.”
Min Joo-ri’s face brightened as she answered seriously what had been said as a joke.
“uh, ah… … .”
Although he was so embarrassed that he couldn’t find anything to say for a moment, Ryu Min remained calm.
“Is there anything else to say? If not, we’ll talk later. “The next person is waiting.”
“Yeah, that’s right. See you later!”
Ryu Min, who chuckled at Min Joo-ri, who left in a huff as if this was an opportunity, took the next person.
When the 50th turn passed, another familiar face appeared.
Ryumin had to pretend not to notice this time too.
“Seo A-rin? Were you also in the Four Gods Church?”
“What sad words. As a CPF public relations ambassador, I cannot fall into the Four Gods Religion.”
Seo A-rin, who was smiling, bowed after receiving 10,000 points from Ryu Min.
“Thank you for the point. I’ll write well. Oh, and… … .”
Seo A-rin became aware of her surroundings and whispered into Ryu Min’s ear.
“Thank you so much for what happened last time.”
“What happened last time?”
“I’m talking about CEO Ma’s death. “You did your best to keep us out of trouble.”
“That’s just telling the truth. “Actually, it wasn’t your fault.”
“Thank you, though.”
Normally, he would have been caught by the police and investigated for various reasons, but thanks to Ryu Min’s efforts, he was able to avoid such troublesome matters.
“Oh, the next person is waiting. See you later then.”
As Seo A-rin left with an expression of regret that we couldn’t talk much, the next person approached.
‘There’s no time to rest in this.’
Without the stats, the work was so hard that it was no different from hard labor.
Then, while I had some free time, I checked the time and waiting order.
‘It’s almost 10:30 and there are already 130 people gathered.’
The basic goal of 100 people has already been achieved, and even exceeded the expected number of 130 people.
However, when I looked at the entrance, people kept coming in.
‘Non-members somehow found out about it and came to visit.’
Just because I posted a post on Playseva, not only Playseva members came to visit me.
Perhaps because the article was circulated externally and even made into articles, non-members also came to visit.
‘This is enough. ‘It’s time.’
It was a good condition to obtain the hero’s rune as planned.
‘Shall we start soon?’
At that moment, people are seen rushing into the church.
‘You’re coming again?’
When someone saw them, they looked like a familiar group.
‘Jo Yong-ho?’
The Mercenary King and his mercenaries visited the Four Gods Church.
‘If I do this well, I’ll be able to gather all the players from all over the country, right?’
I guess I’ll stop being surprised and put my plan into action.
Ryu Min looked at Heo Tae-seok.
Heo Tae-seok, who happened to make eye contact, changed his mask and put it on.
It was a signal to activate the black seed.
Heo Tae-seok nodded slightly and looked at the place where the seeds were planted.
After all, it was a crowded yard with more than a hundred people.
‘If you germinate the seeds now… … .’
A high-level demon will be summoned and people will be surprised.
Of course, even though it is a devil, it is not likely to attack since it is Heo Tae-seok’s summoned animal.
‘I don’t know, but I guess Black Scythe has something in mind.’
Since it was God’s command, I used the skill without hesitation.
‘germination.’
At that moment, a stem suddenly rose from the dirt floor where the players were crowded.
“Ugh, what, what?”
“What is this!?”
On the devil’s trunk, which rose like a telephone pole, leaves opened their claw-like mouths.
Cheok-
A random demon fell under a drool-dripping leaf and stepped on the ground.
“Kihi, kihi, kihi.”
It was Devlin, a 2m tall red-skinned devil with the appearance of a goblin.
“Finally, Kihi. Kihyuk in the human world. “It showed up.”
No one could understand what the stammering guy was saying.
I couldn’t speak demon language and this sudden situation was very embarrassing.
But it wasn’t just the players who were embarrassed.
“Humans, kihi. So much kihi. “Keehee, I’m embarrassed to hear you’re all gathered together!”
In an instant, Defiz’s head, which rose up, fell to the floor.
Ryumin’s scythe cut off the devil’s head without delay.
It was a meaningless death that occurred 5 seconds after being summoned.
“Summoning a devil to a sacred place. “Are you sane?”
Ryu Min, who spoke in a frosty voice, issued a warning to the audience.
“I don’t know who you are, but don’t use any skills here.”
Although there was a lot of noise, the situation was resolved.
Some unsophisticated summoner summoned a demon, and Ryumin dealt with it early.
Of course, the summoner, Heo Tae-seok, was very embarrassed.
Because it was unforeseen.
“Black Scythe. Just now… … .”
“Good work.”
Heo Tae-seok was a little embarrassed to see him shamelessly killing a demon that he had ordered to summon, but Heo Tae-seok was determined to do so.
I assumed it must have been there for some reason and moved on.
‘There’s a reason. For very obvious reasons.’
Ryu Min, who returned to his seat, smiled and looked at the message that appeared in front of him.
[The first high-level demon species was killed and 100 people in danger were saved.]
[The activation conditions have been met.]
[The hidden rune ‘Hero’s Rune’ will be provided!]
[The acquired runes are automatically imprinted on the player’s body!]
‘I finally got it. The Hero’s Rune is one of the must-obtain runes.’
The conditions for obtaining runes were simple.
All you have to do is kill one demon in front of 100 people.
‘That alone counts as saving us from a crisis.’
The system recognized that the mere appearance of a devil among defenseless people meant that they were in danger.
However, the devil must be of a higher level or higher, but the black seed learned at level 40 can only summon mid- to low-level devil species.
‘That’s why I waited until Heo Tae-seok was level 60. Because he has to kill a higher species of demon.’
Fortunately, everything went as planned and I was able to obtain the rune.
Ryumin smiled behind his mask and looked at the information window that appeared in front of him.
