97. Round 7 begins
Dominance is a temporary skill that allows you to enforce orders on the player.
The downside is that it is limited to 10 times and only works on players.
‘And the fatal flaw is that it can only be used in other worlds.’
It’s not that the skill can’t be used in reality, but it doesn’t apply to dominance.
‘No, regardless of application, it is not registered at all.’
It is only registered in the skill window when you are a district representative in the other world, and when you come to reality, your right to rule disappears.
‘Is it because I’m not the district representative in real life?’
Allowing such dominance to be used only once in reality is the reward for the winner of this representative selection contest.
‘You can never miss it.’
That wasn’t the only thing that shouldn’t be missed.
‘There is a rune that appears as a reward for this round’s sub quest. Only with that can you rule Plseba.’
Among Plseba’s executives, the only remaining player is Yamti.
This is a rune that must be obtained in order to counter Yamti’s abilities.
It is also a rune that is included in the list of 18 things that must be obtained.
‘In this round, the integrated representative reward, and the rune of the sub-quest. These two must be obtained at all costs.’
I had the confidence to do that.
Before midnight, I came in fully prepared to attack the round.
[Now, we have to select a representative, so please wait a moment. We will discuss how to proceed.]
After saying that, Priscilla flew leisurely towards the place where the angels were gathered.
[I’m here?]
[Priscilla, hello.]
[Elfir, hello.]
[Sophia, hello.]
The 10 angels who met through district integration greeted each other in a formal manner.
Now it is time to decide on a guide to lead the integrated area.
However, since they were angels who hated working more than dying, they often passed the blame on to each other.
[Who wants to do it? Angel willing to volunteer?]
[That’s a stupid question. To be honest, where would there be an angel who would volunteer?]
[You never know. Is there an angel who likes volunteering?]
[Wow.]
[By the way, Priscilla. I heard you did something really fun with Olive the other day.]
[Yes, I heard that too. Was it a king game?]
[If the human in the district wins, they can nominate him like a king, right?]
[Why don’t we try that again?]
[That sounds fun.]
Priscilla was actually glad that the angels agreed.
‘There’s a black scythe in our area!’
Because this was my chance to become king.
Priscilla said excitedly.
[Then the representative selection method is the most basic death match method… … .]
[for a moment. There is a black scythe in your area.]
[uh? Oh, did you know?]
[Kihihihi, I heard it all.]
[If you’re Black Scythe, you’re currently the only human over level 50, right?]
[If it goes to a death match, of course Priscilla will become king.]
[Then it’s a very unfair game.]
[Why are you trying to take the throne for free? Wow!]
Priscilla, who had secretly hoped she would be able to get over it, looked disappointed.
[Then what should we do? Do you have any other good opinions?]
[If you have a black scythe, it is impossible to play games with force.]
[that’s right. How about letting the person who passes round 7 first win?]
[Oh, that would be okay.]
[After all, the 7th round has nothing to do with strength.]
The angels agreed.
Except Priscilla.
[Priscilla. What do you think?]
[Well, it seems like a fair method.]
Although she was shocked, she had no other reason to refute it.
As I said, the 7th round quest had nothing to do with power.
‘Damn, I thought I could take the throne this time…’ … .’
A feeling of anxiety crept into Priscilla’s mind.
Maybe Black Scythe won’t win first place this time.
‘The record may be broken for the first time.’
Other angels had the same thought.
‘It’s worth a try if you pass the 7th round. Giggling.’
‘No matter how strong the person called Black Scythe is, there is no answer for round 7.’
Seeing Priscilla looking dispirited, the angels began to secretly look forward to it.
They say they too have the potential to become kings.
And I had already thought about who I would shoot if I became king.
‘Priscilla? I’m sorry, but I’ll have to keep you in charge of the area.’
‘Even if it’s because I feel bad for trying to eat something for nothing. Giggling.’
Priscilla returned to the humans, not knowing that the angels who had already joined forces were giggling behind her.
[After discussion among the angels, the representative selection method was decided. Instead of a death match like last time, the district representative who passes the 7-round quest first will become the integrated representative.]
“Oh, it’s not a death match?”
“Whew.”
Except for Ryu Min, the remaining district representatives breathed a sigh of relief.
If I had fought the black scythe, I would have given up the position helplessly.
‘You have to complete the quest first to become a representative…’ … .’
‘Then is there a possibility for me too?’
I still don’t know what the quest is, but I thought it would be better than a death match.
[I will give one attractive privilege to the person who becomes the integrated representative this time. Of course, this is a secret as it will only be revealed to the person who becomes the integrated representative.]
It was said to be a secret, but Ryu Min already knew the reward.
[Then I will announce the 7th round quest!]
After a while, the quest window appeared, and everyone looked at it with wide eyes.
◀ ROUND 7 ▶

└Achievers: 0/2,461
This was because the quest content was covered with question marks.
“Oh, angel. There was an error in the system?”
“Quest appears as a question mark.”
[It is not an error. The 7th round quest is private.]
Contrary to Priscilla’s calm words, there was confusion in people’s eyes.
“It’s private….”
“Then what and how should I wake up….”
[No further explanation. Okay then.]
Priscilla coldly disappeared along with the other angels.
Like an abandoned dog abandoned by its owner, the people who looked at the angel’s back were in despair.
“I don’t even know the quest, so what should I do?”
“Are you f*cking leaving now?”
“There is no such thing as foolishness, really.”
I mumbled and expressed my dissatisfaction, but there was no answer.
At that dark time, there was a message that appeared before everyone’s eyes.
[Time remaining until round end: 01:59:59]
“Huh? You have time, right?”
“What? Should I just wait?”
“If there’s a time limit, doesn’t that mean you have to do something in between?”
“f*ck, do we have to find the quests on our own now?”
People complained, but there was no other way.
Time continues to pass, and there is no telling what will happen when the time limit runs out.
I have no choice but to do something.
“It will definitely be a quest to kill monsters.”
“If you look around, you’ll find something.”
“It’s suspicious over there. Let’s go there!”
People began to disperse.
Some people just walked wherever their feet took them, while others said the forest on the other side looked suspicious and went into it.
But about half of the people just stood there blankly.
It’s because I don’t know what to do.
At that time, a group of people approached Ryu Min.
These are Ahn Sang-cheol, Seo A-rin, Heo Tae-seok, and Min-ri Min, who were at the party in the last 6th round.
“Black Scythe. Are you here?”
“Why are you all coming together?”
“Oh, I met you by chance nearby.”
“It was nice to meet you like this again. Hehe.”
The four people seemed to have become somewhat friendly with each other.
‘I guess we had a little party together?’
It’s not a bad situation.
Anyway, the four of you are allies that Ryumin must raise.
There is nothing wrong with it as long as we are friendly with each other.
“Hey, Black Scythe? You mean the 7th round quest. What is it? Do you have any guesses?”
Ryu Min responded to Ahn Sang-cheol’s question.
“Why are you asking me that?”
“Ah, I’m sorry if you were offended. It’s not for any other reason, but because I thought you might know something about Black Scythe’s insight…”
Ahn Sang-cheol was embarrassed, but Ryu Min cool-headedly dismissed it.
It would be difficult to make people feel like they knew about the prophecy.
“The quest didn’t pop up, so what can I do? It’s the same as you.”
“Oh, I see.”
Ahn Sang-cheol, who seemed a little disappointed, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.
It was an expression that finally gave the Black Scythe something to help with.
“Then, Black Scythe. Shall I give you information about the 7th round?”
“7th round information? How do you know that?”
“I heard something from a prophet of reality.”
“prophet?”
Ryumin frowned.
‘Last time, I thought you were hiding it, but now you’re talking about the prophet without hesitation.’
Was I an idiot for thinking I could be trusted?
When I glare at Ahn Sang-cheol with that thought in mind, he flinches and stutters.
“Why, why are you doing that?”
“No. But you’re a prophet. You’re talking nonsense.”
“It’s true. One of my acquaintances is a prophet. I have already received help several times, right? Seo A-rin?”
“Yes? Ah, that’s right. That’s right.”
‘Did you drag Seo A-rin in too?’
One more person who cannot be trusted has been added.
“Hey, what are you two talking about? Prophets?”
Heo Tae-seok asked with a puzzled expression, and Min-ri Min remained silent.
‘Minjoo-ri seems to be quite surprised on the inside. ‘He is telling a story about a prophet who he thought only he knew.’
After reading my thoughts, I suspect that the prophet is Ryumin.
‘This situation has become a problem.’
Ryu Min wanted to sew up Ahn Sang-cheol’s mouth right away, but there was no good reason to do so.
“Black Scythe. I will tell you about the 7th round, without any compensation. How do you feel? Would you like to hear it?”
“…….”
Ryumin, who was pondering, quickly nodded.
“Okay. I don’t know if it’s reliable, but let’s hear it first. Because we have to grasp at straws.”
“Haha, don’t worry. The prophecy is never wrong.”
Ahn Sang-cheol, who said so, relayed the prophecy he had made.
“The prophet said, ‘Do not be deceived by temptation. All you have to do is remember these words to conquer the 7th round.’
“What do you mean? Temptation?”
Heo Tae-seok asked, but Ahn Sang-cheol only shook his head quietly.
“I don’t know the details.”
“Um, is that Ahn Sang-cheol over there?”
Min Joo-ri approached with a clearly embarrassed look on her face.
“Isn’t that prophet’s name Ryumin?”
“……!”
This time, Ahn Sang-cheol was surprised.
The same goes for Seo A-rin.
Heo Tae-seok looks at the two in turn with a look on his face as if he doesn’t know what’s going on.
‘Haa, f*ck.’
Ryumin watched the whole situation and sighed inwardly.
Four people ended up sharing the existence and identity of the prophet.
‘Well, is there any problem? What if my identity as Black Scythe is not discovered?’
It was a situation that made him sigh, but Ryumin held back.
I think it would be better to split the four of you up for now.
If we gather together, won’t we continue to share information about the Prophet?
“Don’t be fooled by temptation. Thank you for the information. It remains to be seen whether the prophet’s words will come true.”
“You’re probably right. If you just remember that.”
Ryumin nodded and spoke to the four people.
“I think it would be a good idea to split up and look for more information.”
“You mean scattered?”
“If you move, you might get new quests or information.”
“Still, hanging out together….”
“It’s unclear whether it’s a party quest, so why should it be like that?”
Ahn Sang-cheol swallowed his sleep at the cold tone.
There was no way that the person who caused Sadal would look good in Ryumin’s eyes.
“Uhm, I understand. Then, let’s each solve the 7th round. Black Scythe. Good luck! See you next time.”
Ahn Sang-cheol and Seo A-rin bowed their heads and disappeared.
Heo Tae-seok also notices and bows his head awkwardly.
“Well, me too…”
Now only Min-ri Min remains by Ryu-min’s side.
“You go too.”
“Ah, I get it…….”
Even though it seemed like he didn’t want to break up, Min Joo-ri left.
Ryumin, left alone, sighed.
‘The situation has become annoying.’
Then I thought about it carefully.
‘But what was the 7th round quest?’
I stood there thinking about it for about 5 minutes.
“Aaaah!”
An ear-piercing scream was heard from somewhere.
