chapter 3
3 – Living Flame
[Passed Nyarlathotep’s first trial.]
‘Huh?’
A status window message suddenly appeared in front of your eyes.
[Nyarlathotep is a foreign press that particularly stands out in the field of psychological attacks and brainwashing.]
[Nyarlathotep sincerely congratulates you for actively grasping the situation and inflicting psychological attacks.]
‘…’
She told her to rip her enemies apart, but deep inside she seemed to want to be coaxed into words.
[Reward: Avatar of Chaos + 1, Obtain a subordinate.]
[Avatar of Chaos (S)
You can change into the avatar of foreign press ‘Nyarlathotep’.
However, the ability of the original cannot be reproduced as it is.
Currently available avatars: Black man, Weeping and struggling]
[
[Potential: Average]
[Contract Constellation: Left hand stunned, right hand Nether Road]
[Skill: Strike (D)]
]
Gu Ha-sung.
That was the name of the guy I just verbally subdued.
Are you saying that the guy who succeeded in defeating you with words will become my subordinate?
‘Have you seen this crazy ability?’
To treat a person as if it were his servant. Is this ability only A-class?
Of course, it is possible to treat people like slaves with mental abilities.
However, the system directly ‘This guy is this person’s subordinate!’ I’ve heard that there is no such declaration.
Are ratings subjective? Are you saying that Nyarlathotep is Class A?
‘Then how strong is this avatar of chaos?’
If you think about it that way, the value of the avatar of chaos rises exponentially.
First of all, don’t use avatars unless it’s important. Honestly, I think I can avoid expulsion with just my mouth.
‘The most important thing right now is…’
I turned around and looked inside the class.
-Bar, what just happened?
-Did Goo Ha-seong kneel?
As expected, the most important thing is to organize the current situation.
“Listen, everyone. The situation is not strange. Because…”
* * *
Unfortunately, I couldn’t concentrate at all in today’s class.
[SAN figures 80 / 100]
SAN figures for using too many abilities? It’s because it was cut.
That number is my mental strength. Something indescribable powerlessness surrounds the whole body.
It feels like you can’t sleep even though you’ve been up all night.
Rational judgment was impossible.
‘No matter how hard it was, was it Eva who used her abilities against about 30 people…’
The more targets of the ability, the longer the persuasion time and the consumption of SAN was huge.
It’s because everyone was convinced after somehow tying together knowledge related to slavery and the concept of a teacher that they knew from both the East and the West.
The ring.
[Nyarlathotep: SAN levels can be recovered with sufficient rest and entertainment. Take a good rest today]
[Nyarlathotep: And from tomorrow, don’t create a situation where you can use your abilities]
On the way home after the academy.
Nyarlathotep saw my condition and gave me advice of his own.
[Nyarlathotep: Today, somehow, make your SAN level 100, because he will notice soon]
“That guy?”
While walking, I checked the chat window and said.
[Nyarlathotep: That red-haired slut, because if that b*tch comes to her current situation, it’ll be a headache]
“You mean K’tuga?”
Cthugha.
Another one of my internet friends was a woman with a fiery personality.
-Ah f*ck! f*cking bastards can’t get dirty!!
I pretended to be fiery, but in fact, I have a beggarly personality, so if I play games from time to time, aren’t I a person who breaks my character? It was to the point where I was thinking about it.
“But how does Ctuga know?”
[Nyarlathotep: You don’t notice]
“What are you talking about… I can’t believe it.”
Is Ktuga also a ‘foreign news’?
[Nyarlathotep: It’s not a foreign press… But if you get caught now, it will be a headache, so take a break as much as possible, I won’t say anymore]
Looking like she got tired of talking so many times, she hung up the chat.
‘Ktuga…’
She is like a ‘constellation’ like Nyarlathotep?
Is this a coincidence anymore?
I frowned and began to slowly search my friend’s window.

“Well, maybe not.”
No matter how hard it is, it won’t happen three times when your friends are new.
If that’s what happened, there really is something wrong with me.
Turb, tumble.
I didn’t do anything, but I started walking toward the house with a tired body.
Have you walked about 10 minutes now?
Looking at the convenience store I always stopped by, it seemed like it was coming soon.
I should not do anything today and go to sleep right away…
The ring.
“What?”
At that time, a chat came on my cell phone suddenly.
You said you wouldn’t talk anymore, but suddenly you had something to say?
[Cthugha : Last warning, sever the contract with that b*tch right now]
“Ktuga?”
However, the true identity of the chat was Ktuga, not Nyarlathotep.
Break the contract? You already knew our contract…
[CTHUGHA: Yayaya ㅑ]
[Cthugha: What kind of crazy b*tch did you sign the contract with?]
“Oh.”
When I scrolled up, it seemed that Ctuga already knew about our contract.
It’s just that I didn’t know about it because I was busy.
Surprised, I hurriedly sent a chat to Nyarlathotep.
[Randolph Carter: Ctu already knew this guy?]
[Nyarlathotep: Damn you down]
What?
Kwaaang!!
“Crazy.”
My body reacted before I even thought about it.
A huge explosion erupted over the bent body.
I almost suffered a serious fatal injury.
[SAN figures 78 / 100]
Damn it, I was so surprised that my SAN level dropped.
[Nyarlathotep: The worshipers of the red whore have come]
I checked my phone in a hurry and started to check the chatting that came up at the speed of light.
[Nyarlathotep: Hide for now]
-I couldn’t have gone far. Find
-We must fulfill the orders given by our god.
I heard the voices of solemn men around me.
I heard that there are people who worship the constellations as if they were a religion… Are there people like that in K’tuga?
Turulun, tururun. Turulun, tururun.
“Dude, f*ck…”
I quickly hid myself and called Ktuga.
A growing beep. I also don’t get…
-Hello.
Have you received it?
“Ke, Ktuga?”
– What’s wrong? Flirt.
“A flirt?”
I’m a mother-in-law who has never dated a woman in my life.
I’m not one to listen to flirts.
“I-I’ve never dated a woman in my life…”
-A year ago, in Cross RPG.
Hearing my words, Ctuga slowly began to repeat his words.
– You married me.
“What?”
At that, I frowned and slowly began to search my memory.
Cross RPG.
It was an old MMORPG game that was released quite a while ago.
A game that was treated as a kind of national game because of its high awareness.
There is a system called ‘marriage’, which allows you to marry a specific user.
When you get married and become a couple, there is a benefit that gives you extra experience when hunting in a party, so I married Ktuga for the purpose of buffing.
-Ktuga, let’s get married.
– What, what? Go, suddenly?
-No, I mean it comes with leveling…
-Well, well, it can’t be helped if you pray like that~. I’ll accept it.
-Oh yes, yes.
‘Child, crazy.’
Maybe it’s because it’s annoying, so I skipped over it. Thinking about it like this, it was understandable to misunderstand.
No, but who the f*ck is overinvolved in getting married to a game?
“It was just a game marriage!”
-I was serious, it’s a dog.
I can’t understand the language.
-Nyarlathotep, sever the contract with that b*tch. And you have a contract with me.
“Do you want me to sign a contract with you?”
-Yes. What can that b*tch do for you? I can do it too! I’ll give you overwhelming destructive power, not meanly touching people’s mentality!
“Ah, no, but I can’t slander the first god I signed with like that…”
-Then die! If you can’t have it, die, you bastard!!
The ring.
That’s how this short phone call ended.
“It will turn, really!”
I knew Ctuga’s personality, so I could understand it.
That she really wants to kill me.
[Nyarlathotep: This crazy b*tch doesn’t know how much]
[Nyarlathotep hastily sends a gift.]
[Recovery over SAN!]
[SAN figures 130 / 100]
Suddenly, vitality springs up in a lethargic body.
The feeling of not being able to lose something. What? What is this omnipotence?
[Nyarlathotep : Quickly transform into any avatar]
– I found it.
At the same time I opened the status window, a man with a red sword jumped out from the side.
His sword plunges down at me.
[Avatar of Chaos: One who wails and struggles]
Then the sword broke.
