Episode 235
235. Archangel’s Proposal
‘Hey, angel? ‘Angel?’
The small mukbang asked several times in his mind, but there was no answer from the angel.
‘Can’t you hear me?’
It seems like he can only convey his thoughts rather than reading his inner thoughts.
‘You say you have some business to do with me?’
The mukbang who was following the angel stopped and looked back.
Before we knew it, we had come so far that the people on the meadow looked like ants.
‘Why on earth did I bring myself to a place like this to avoid people’s eyes… … no way?’
A smile appeared on the mukbang’s face.
‘Are you trying to give a hidden reward without others knowing?’
Could it be that the angels have recognized the efforts he has made to live tenaciously?
That’s why I’m trying to call them separately and give them compensation without anyone knowing.
Such hopeful thoughts continued until an angel came down from heaven.
[Why are you laughing so hard? human?]
“Oh, no. lol. Anyway, what is there for me to see… … .”
[The person you need to see is not me, but the Archangel.]
“Archangel?”
[I don’t know why, but the Archangel wants to meet you. May you know with glory.]
The mukbang continued to fill me with joy.
‘also! ‘I thought it was a hidden reward!’
I wanted to scream and run, but since I was in front of an angel, I exercised patience.
However, I couldn’t do anything about the corners of my mouth rising.
[Why do you keep smiling?]
“Haha, ah, no. “I feel good thinking about meeting the archangel.”
[You know something. First, shall we go meet the Archangel?]
“yes!”
[Hold my hand for 10 seconds. I will move to heaven.]
“ah.”
The angel’s hand I held for the first time was soft.
The grinning smile was like the sunlight of a warm spring day.
‘Ah, angel. I think I’m in love right now… … .’
After 10 seconds, which seemed like an eternity, passed, Mukbang could no longer continue his thoughts.
It was not just because a world so brilliant that it could truly be called heaven unfolded before my eyes.
Because an incomprehensible message appeared in red letters.
[You left your seat during the round.]
[If the player does not return to the venue within 1 hour, the player will be disqualified.]
[Time remaining until disqualification: 00:59:59]
“uh? What does this mean? disqualification? Angel. I just got a strange message… … .”
When Mukbang saw the face of an angel, he was speechless for a moment.
The face that seemed like a warm spring day was gone, replaced by an evil smile.
[Giggle, did you follow me so foolishly?]
“angel… … sir?”
[What are you, an angel? A scum-like human being. Don’t look at me with those unfortunate eyes?]
The angel’s tone of voice, which usually used polite expressions, also changed.
It seems that there is no reason to speak respectfully in heaven.
Leaving behind the shocked mukbang, the angel muttered into the sky.
[yes yes. I just brought it to you. Ah, yes, I will be waiting.]
The mukbang’s expression became distorted as if he had belatedly realized the situation.
“You fooled me! “It wasn’t a reward!”
[Are you a crazy person? When did I say I would give you a reward? And I didn’t lie at all? Because it is true that the Archangel wants to see you.]
“what?”
At that time, a brilliance appeared before my eyes.
I blinked my eyes reflexively and saw an angel I had never seen before.
A handsome angel with wings and elegance that can’t even be compared to that of an usher.
[A lowly servant meets the majestic Archangel.]
[Get up. Millen.]
[Hah?! Oh my, you even know my name. W, it’s an honor!]
Mukbang was struck by the sight of the angel who had been growling just a moment ago making an expression like a shy girl.
Because it felt like I was seeing myself in love just a moment ago.
[You can now go back and play the round. If you leave too much, you may be suspected.]
[All right. It was an honor to meet you. Well then… … .]
When Mylene disappeared, only the male angel and mukbang remained on the cloud.
[I am one of the seven archangels… … No, should I say 3 people? Among the three archangels, Gabriel is second in rank. I guess your nickname is ‘small mukbang’?]
“Yes, that’s right.”
Mukbang responded with politeness without realizing it.
It seemed like it had to be that way.
It was elegant, intimidating, and on a different level from any angel I had ever seen.
[You will know by looking at the message. After one hour, you will be disqualified from playing. Simply because I came to heaven.]
“… … .”
[Of course, there is no way for you to return from here. The only ones who can travel between heaven and the other world are the angels here.]
“Why are you doing this to me? Please let me go back.”
[I want to go back? Wouldn’t it be better if the qualifications were revoked? You don’t have to participate in survival games anymore, right?]
“ah?”
That’s what I heard and saw.
Being disqualified as a player means being excluded from the game.
You no longer have to fight for survival.
[Instead, you will lose your player powers and return to normal life, but that will be a better life for you. Rather than taking the risk of extinction like now. yes?]
“Yeah, that’s right.”
He shouted loudly that he would clear the 20th round and make his wish come true, but he was not confident.
Because I had no idea how difficult the quest would be waiting for me in the future.
‘I want to go back if possible. ‘To the original life.’
It’s revenge, it’s nothing, and there’s no need for the player’s power.
I just want to live.
That thought shook Mukbang’s heart.
“So, if I wait here for just an hour, I can go back to being a normal person?”
[yes. But I won’t let that happen. I will send you back to this world before you are disqualified. If you reject my offer.]
“A suggestion?”
[You know who Black Scythe is, right?]
Mukbang’s eyes cooled down at the nickname that suddenly appeared.
“You know… … .”
[You have a grudge against this guy, right?]
“… … .”
[You know it without me saying it. I’ve already researched everything. I want revenge on the Black Scythe. That’s why I called a piece of trash like you here.]
“W-what do you want me to do?”
Gabriel looked a little surprised as he watched the mukbang, which immediately pointed out the context.
[Hmm, I guess I wasn’t as stupid as I thought. Well, before I get to the main point… … .]
An object appeared in Gabriel’s hand.
It was an old-looking book with large purple beads embedded in it.
[Take this first.]
The mukbang who received the book looked at the beads without thinking and was surprised.
‘what? It seemed like something was moving inside the bead… … .’
Looking now, I couldn’t see anything.
I guess it was a mistake.
“What is this? “What about this eerie book?”
[It is a type of warp device. If you put this on the player’s body and memorize the starter word, you can bring them to heaven.]
“Heaven?”
Gabriel nodded and got to the point.
[Attach this to the body of the black scythe and memorize the starter word. Then we can force him to go to heaven. In other words, they can disqualify players like you.]
“ah… … .”
[how is it? If you bring the black scythe to heaven as I tell you to, I can exclude the guy who is the likely winner from the round. You wouldn’t expect your competitor to make it to the 20th round and get his wish, right?]
Mukbang nodded quietly.
If this continues, the Black Scythe will win, as the Archangel said.
No matter what happens, I don’t want to see him do well.
“But why are you asking me to bring the black scythe?”
[This guy committed a very, very big mistake that disrupted the order of heaven. So he should come to heaven and be punished.]
“What kind of punishment… … ?”
[There is no need to know the details. All I can say is that it will be so painful that you will want to die. So don’t worry. I will take revenge on him. All you have to do is warp him to heaven.]
“If I do that, will you exclude me from the survival game as promised?”
[of course. After I punish Black Scythe, I will bring you to Heaven and disqualify you as a player. You can no longer get caught up in the survival game and live like an ordinary person.]
“It’s not like you have to live in a customized body in another world, right?”
[Of course not. As soon as the player is disqualified, the avatar will disappear and only the soul will remain. Of course, I will do my best to help your soul, who helped catch the criminal, return to Earth. If you want, I can help you live with angels in heaven.]
In my heart, I wanted to live in heaven with pretty angels and give birth to rabbit-like children, but… … .
‘There’s no way angels like me… … .’
It was a mukbang that made me want to go home, perhaps because it reminded me of the expression on the face of the angel who treated me like a bug a while ago.
“I will return to Earth and live a normal life.”
[okay? If you want, let me do that. As long as you properly complete what you are told.]
“I will. “I will do it unconditionally.”
It was a never-to-be-received opportunity for a mukbang.
A chance to escape the survival game, and a chance to get revenge on the Black Scythe.
I couldn’t refuse it because it was an offer with nothing to lose.
‘You mean you can disqualify me just by attaching a book to my body and memorizing the starter words?’
No matter how strong the black scythe is, there will be nothing you can do if you are warped to heaven.
Because it was said that only angels have the means to cross dimensions.
‘I’ll probably be disqualified without being able to do anything and be taken away by the angels. Hehehe.’
Since it was said that the punishment would be painful enough to kill, it was the perfect revenge.
But when I thought about it, there was a problem.
“excuse me… … .”
[what?]
“Can I attach this to Black Scythe’s body? I’m sure you’ll notice if you get close because of presence detection… … .”
[Even so, it only takes a moment. Just attach it and memorize the starter word and it will be activated immediately.]
“That’s true, but since it’s my opponent, I’m a little worried… … .”
The mukbang, who was hesitant, got to the point.
“Can you give me an item or something? If possible, it’s a good thing. “It would be a problem if you noticed before you even put it on.”
‘This damned human bastard…’ … .’
Gabriel’s eyebrows twitched for a split second, but it was literally a split second.
[Don’t worry. The Black Scythe won’t pay any attention to you as it continues the round. If you’re really anxious, take action in the last 10 waves.]
“10 waves?”
[When that happens, people will be quite confused. It’s a good time for you to aim.]
“Oh, it would be better to move then.”
[good night. The starting word is ‘La Grassi Betaom’. Memorize it and use it.]
“That’s a strange starter word. all right. “I will try.”
* * *
The moment the round starts.
Small mukbang has returned to the grassland.
This is because the Archangel warped me back to the other world.
‘You’re back. ‘It’s not a dream, is it?’
It’s not a dream or anything.
Because there was a book I received from an angel in my inventory.
[?Ǹ??? ?????]
– Category: Consumables
-Grade: God
-Effect: ?Ǹ? ????? ???? ????
– Restrictions on use: Master level or higher
-Description: ?? 10m?? ??????? ??ƸԾ? ?Ǹ? ????? ?????? ?ҷ??? ?? ?Դ? ????. ?ٸ? ?????? ?????? ??ü?? 100???? One?? ???ϴ?.
‘I have no idea what it says.’
Is it because it is a heavenly object?
Some text was broken in the system.
All we know is that it is a consumable item and that it is God grade.
‘This is my first time seeing the god level… … Is it a high grade?’
Anyway, you have to memorize the starter word by holding it against the black scythe’s body.
Since I have memorized it over and over again, I will never forget it.
The only problem is whether the black scythe can really be warped.
‘I’m going to try it. Instead, if you get caught, you might die… … uh? Come to think of it, I’m a party member, right?’
Party members cannot kill each other.
Realizing that point, Mukbang raised the corners of his mouth.
At least you won’t die.
‘Then all you have to do is get close… … ‘Is it easy?’
It turned out to be an easier mission than I thought.
‘Should I hold on until wave 10?’
A small mukbang with a sly smile entered the crowd of people.
At wave 10, I decided to take advantage of the chaos and put my plan into action.
