Becoming a Hunter in a Dark Fantasy - Chapter 116
Only Noblemtl
Episode 116 Resurrection (2) “Rampas” was a game created with largely commercial intentions.
Because the demands of game users and the intentions of game companies and Gamechrome were aligned.
However, the main purpose was not to enjoy the game “Rampas”, but to see the dead characters from another game… “Soriheon” again. Ironically.
In some ways, it may be a rare and unique case even in the history of gaming.
Still, a game is a game. There must be one main character and one grand story.
-What should I do with this?
All of the developers at Gamechrome, who were supposed to be creating “Rampas”, were in a difficult position.
– I think the new Rampas characters will be buried because the existing Soriheon fandom is too strong. The attention isn’t that high either.
– Right. All the kids who died in Soriheon had strong presence and character… … As expected, this is putting the cart before the horse. It’s nonsense to say it’s a game for the sake of a game.
-… … .
-Let’s publish an article and retract the statement as soon as possible. That would be better.
Rather, let’s abandon the setting that the world is one where the dead characters of ‘Soriheon’ have moved to another dimension.
It seemed much easier to create a completely new game… … .
-Senior. If we retract that statement, angry users will come and burn us. There will be a riot.
-Hey, no way. Don’t joke around.
-They say burning at the stake is the most horrible pain a human can feel. I bet being beaten by a group hurts a lot too.
-… … Really?
I didn’t want to die, no… … .
Gamechrome, who could not bear to betray the trust of its users, made a big decision after much thought.
-Let’s do what we do best.
What Gamchrome does best.
That was the erasure of dreams and hopes.
-The moment you think, ‘Hey, this kid is a bit pitiful,’ that’s when it’s over. That’s how favorite and second favorite characters grow!
The main and supporting characters in “Rampas”, even the villains, were given narrative significance.
From the past to the ending.
It’s so heartbreaking and sad that you can’t help but look at it at least once.
-And leave some blank spaces, some margins! So that users can let their imagination run wild!
The main character of “Rampas”.
That’s how ‘Gale Gariv’ was born.
Despite being a world where monsters eat people, he has a sociable personality that likes people and gets along well with them.
Although his usual behavior is unappealing, he has a surprisingly strong and determined side when he does something, and he has a tenacious spirit, a purpose that is easy to sympathize with, and an air of mystery that seems to have a story behind it.
To establish himself as a ‘main character’ who can encompass both the existing Soriheon fandom and new users.
-I think it would be good to add some reversal points here.
Again, the main characters in all content must be special.
There has to be something that sets it apart from other characters.
With such a motto, Gamchrome naturally gave their protagonists something ‘special’.
Very willingly.
-Hmm. How?
-Why is there such a big twist in our worldview? Let’s use one of them.
That was the beginning of all the tragedies in “Rampas”.
-It’s only natural for the main character to become a hero. Everyone admires heroes and enjoys the journey of becoming a hero. However… …Just as much, we don’t want the hero to fall.
It’s dark fantasy, right? Let’s ruin it terribly.
– The moment when you become a hero recognized by everyone after all the hardships and trials. The moment when you reach the happiest moment in your life that you were barely surviving… … Wouldn’t it be fun if you fell into an uncontrollable downfall?
The fall of a hero.
That would be a perfect name for a new episode.
-That’s because he didn’t know about it at all? Oh, it would be better if the criminal who reported him was a colleague he trusted.
-… … Wow. Junior, you really are like Satan. No, you are worse than Satan.
-Why? Are you against it, senior?
-No? Who would say that? Wouldn’t that be fun? I totally agree.
He had to become ‘Gail Garib’ with his memory lost.
While suffering from an unknown madness, I never imagined, even in my dreams, that there was ‘something’ sleeping inside me.
It was for such a petty reason.
– A named mercenary who has sealed the Demon King inside his body. However, he has lost his memories and does not know the reason for this.
-Okay. That’s decided!
So even now, when secrets are forcibly revealed by others.
Gail won’t know who he is.
* * *
In front of the jar that was swollen to the point of bursting, there was Floreta, kneeling with her hands clasped together and praying fervently.
“Wake up. Please wake up.”
Gnaud’s clan, and the autograph collection that he had been gathering one by one since falling into this world.
I gave it my all.
Carefully selected and selected, only the best offerings are used.
“You are annoying. It is time for you to wake up from your deep sleep.”
The tightly woven seal was loosened like a thousand-year-old’s tomb, and offerings were placed through the holes to strengthen them.
He was gulping and trying to come out into the world.
“How suffocating have you been? It’s time for you to come out into the world!”
Why is such a great being like Him sealed and imprisoned in a mere human body?
What on earth was happening there that she didn’t know about?
As a poor floeta, I couldn’t figure it out.
but.
“You don’t have to worry anymore. You have me now! Your sixteenth servant, me, Floetta… …!!”
Floetta would do anything for him. What would she not do?
“I will protect you. With my life!”
Of course. He breathed life into the turbulent life of Floretta.
He personally anointed her and saved her.
Woof woof woof woof─!
“Your Majesty!”
As Floeta’s longing voice rang out, the jar shattered into pieces.
The magical power contained within… … the evil spirit of the water king was completely poured into the unconscious Gale, under the guidance of Floeta.
Heart pounding.
Heart pounding.
Heart pounding.
In the quiet space, the sound of a heartbeat rang out loud.
The chains binding Gale’s limbs broke, and his body floated into the air.
The Gnaud clan, the sign of Floeta, the soul of the water king… … .
All the sacrifices that were offered gathered towards Gale. Each one with different effects and magical powers gradually mixed together and became one.
When the sacrifices that had become one were all absorbed by Gale.
-Flash!
《Grrrrrrr… … .》
At that moment, Gale, no… … something inside him woke up. A sound like the low roar of a ferocious beast was heard.
The revealed pupils were bright red.
Although it still had a human appearance, it had a sinister, evil quality that could not be attributed to a human.
“ah!”
Floeta was delighted. It was a feeling she had long forgotten.
‘You’re finally awake!’
The spiderweb-shaped green pupils shone brightly. Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
‘Finally… … I’m not alone!’
Floeta, she died in the original world. She was brutally defeated by being stabbed in the whole body with large and small spears.
She felt wronged. She finally felt like she had something to live for, so why did she have to die?
-What did I do wrong! It’s unfair! It’s unfair! I’m unfairly treated!
Then the hunter carrying the noble cross looked down.
With a cold gaze that seemed like it would freeze Floetta at any moment.
-You are a pest that is eating away at this world.
The hunter said.
-Your ability is extremely dangerous. The ability to suck the life force out of anyone you touch and turn them into ‘humanoids’. It is a dangerous S-class ability suitable for mass genocide, and you actually have a record of destroying a city-state overnight.
-… … Ouch, ugh.
-Tell me, Floeta La Russell. How many people have you killed so far? … … No. Let me ask you a different question. Do you remember the names of the people you killed?
What did you answer to that question?
… … Ah, I remembered.
-I don’t know! That kind of thing! Do you remember how many pieces of bread you’ve eaten so far?
-… … I see. You really are a villain with no room for reform.
The hunter raised his long spear and pierced Floeta’s heart.
-Die. Apologize to the victims you killed in hell.
So… I thought he was dead.
But, lo and behold, Floeta opened her eyes again.
-Huh? Where is this?
In a completely different world! At least it wasn’t the hell Hunter had mentioned! Floetta was satisfied.
But that was only for a moment. There was no one here. Not the beloved Demon King, nor my dear colleagues… … .
I was lonely. I was so desperately lonely. Time passed so slowly.
-If this is how it’s going to be, then why am I alive?
But now it’s different! I have a reason to live!
“Ahaha! Demon King! It’s me! It’s Floetta!”
Unable to contain his boiling passion, Floeta ran to his dear Demon King.
Whenever she was acting up, the affectionate man would stroke her hair.
‘Please pet me again!’
I’ve been so lonely being alone all this time…
Floeta smiled broadly, anticipating the warm touch that would soon be felt.
But the evil, insidious eyes sparkled like glass beads.
‘It’ drew a strange shape as if it was smiling.
“……ah?”
It was when Floeta got right up to ‘it’s’ nose that he sensed something was wrong.
‘I’m not the Demon King!’
This isn’t the person she knew!
The moment Floeta was about to turn around… … !!
《Gaaaaaaah!》
‘It’ moved at incredible speed and swung its arms down.
The hand that held the human form suddenly became huge.
Kwajik─!
Floeta died with his head crushed.
* * *
It was a misunderstanding.
Whatever the reason, it was clear that Floeta had misunderstood something.
‘Someone must have noticed the sealed ‘Demon King’ inside Gale and planned this.’
Maybe… … during the Lampas Hunter Exam?
They expected that Gale, now a hunter, would approach Depicio and instead tried to kidnap him.
Floeta was an apostle who followed the devil.
In exchange for her autograph, she was able to swap locations with those around her who had the power of the ‘demons’.
‘That must be why Nero and Gale switched places.’
But unfortunately for Floeta.
That thing inside Gale was not the Demon King of her world that Floeta knew.
‘A demon king who existed in Rampas in the distant past, before the mythical era.’
It was a completely unrelated guy.
In addition, the Demon King in ‘Soriheon’ was the final boss, unlike Rampas.
So… … at the very end, there was absolutely no reason for the main character to die until he died.
So there was no such thing as being randomly selected and being dimensionally shifted.
What game would have you kill the final boss without any chance of success?
‘I guess I was just mistaken.’
There are no living demons in “Rampas”. The only ones that exist are those that are sealed or dead.
What was overflowing in this world were not demons, but monsters.
So, for some reason, Floeta must have misunderstood the presence of the Demon King trapped inside Gale and devised this plan.
“or not…….”
She may have been so lonely that she blindly believed that the Demon King sealed inside Gale was the one she followed.
There is a setting that Floeta, who came over to Rampas, was extremely lonely.
“What a crappy original.”
He changed the flow a little bit, and the plot became like a roller coaster.
Shuaaaak-!
This made Akmun Elwin emit golden magic from his entire body and increase his acceleration.
Once again his new form shot forward like a ray of light.
Long golden contrails appeared and disappeared as Elwin moved.
Until Elwin arrives… … 5 minutes left.
