I Am the Only Non-Returner - I Am the Only Non-Returner chapter 72

72 – The stage begins again

And 9 months after the stage started.

All seven of my partners, led by Eunchae, gave birth to babies, and the protective subspace was filled with eight babies, and angels swimming in the blue liquid filled the shelter hall.

Strangely enough, all my babies were boys, but they actually seemed to like them.

Shelter Durability 45,000/45,000

Durability was added by 14000 when the baby was born and when connected to the great evil Ser, making the defense even stronger.

The mothers, whose daily routine included playing with their babies for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and I, who found it difficult to stay in the hall for some reason, spent more time on the rooftop.

[Observer 333 asks if they are playing a game of collecting babies.]

“··· That can’t be true… It’s difficult for me too.”

At first, I just listened to Ser’s rambling stories, but before I knew it, it became a place for my complaints.

“For some reason, since the babies were born, the seven of us have come together and are demanding a strong sense of responsibility from me. Although they don’t say it directly, I know everything. hahahaha…”

If anyone shows differences in their affection for the baby, not even I can guarantee that they will take care of it.

[If spectator 333 agrees to the modification, he says it is okay to rape me and have a baby.]

“What are you talking about again? But aren’t you running out of points? I heard you used up all your points last time.”

[Spectator 333 says there is no going back and that he even borrowed money because he plans to finish everything this time.]

“What on earth have you been doing, making me so curious for months now?”

[Spectator 333 says it is no use saying that everything will be caught in the filter anyway.]

“Could you please tell me the reason why you are putting so much effort into me?”

[Spectator 333 says he didn’t put in much effort!]

‘I vaguely see her looking at the distant mountains…’

With less than 3 months left after Stage 21 began, my insight skills began to show things I had not seen before.

Although it was still faint, messages of spectators laughing and talking were leaking out from various spaces.

In particular, the messages from the people who sponsored me were clearly visible.

[Spectator 147 takes a sip of alcohol and yells at other spectators who are requesting to mate with various females.]

‘··· These days, I mostly just hang out with Eunchae.’

Of course, there were times when I did it with other people.

Purrr!

And the reason why the drone sound continued to echo on the rooftop was because Lulu was practicing flapping her wings by herself.

The caterpillar, whose body had now become quite long, was trying hard to fly by flapping its wings, which were much longer than its body.

“But is it just going to remain in its caterpillar form?”

It was very cute as is, but I think there was more to it, but change was really slow.

(Human, soon not only you but everyone will be blinded by my beautiful gestures! Ahhohohoho!)

“Hmm…What does that mean…”

The appearance is already attractive enough, so I wanted it to be worth the points.

(Oh, human! We are at the bottom right now! In this case, if you give us some more points, we will get a watering effect…)

Ha-eun no longer listens to Lara’s sophistry, and is sitting close to Lara’s huge body, using it like a waterbed.

“Cute…”

It was still cute.

After two more months, the four seasons passed and we reached the border between winter and spring again.

With two additional connections to Ser, the durability rose to 47,000.

And.

“Ser… When I clear it… I’ll come see you.”

She said that due to the reset, we did not obtain the original version’s rewards.

Although the variables that depended on luck have disappeared, he also said that it will not be easy in the future since the original game had a difficulty set based on various rewards.

‘Still, I’m confident I can overcome anything as long as there are no missions like parasitic bugs.’

– After…

＜00:03:04＞

It’s evening and there are only 3 minutes left in stage 21.

Although there was no specific promise, all the shelter people were gathered alone.

“I’m a little nervous…”

At my words, the other people also shook their feet and nodded.

Tieeing-!

“Ouch! Surprise!”

Euncheol was startled by the sudden notification, announcing the end of the long stage.

“Why are there so many deaths…Is there even a stage reward?”

When I spoke in surprise, as if it were unexpected, people who had experienced it said that they were actually surprised by the small number of deaths.

“I think it was over 10 million last time, and I guess it’s because of the pass. I guess there’s a clear reward that wasn’t there before? It’s a reward for not having any deaths?”

“··· This is the first reward after reset…”

Points held: 6,608,396

I lost 5 million points by feeding the spirits and spending money on living expenses, but I was happy to receive unexpected income.

‘In this case, only the shelters that used the pass suffered losses. It suddenly got reset and got messed up…’

Well, if you really want to be fair, you would also compensate for shelters that used passes.

That wasn’t something we thought about, so we quietly waited for another reward.

After a while, the long-awaited reward notification followed.

Artemis’ God of Abundance Statue will be provided.＞

From Noble mtl dot com

Statue of Artemis, God of Abundance

– A divine statue created by Artemis, the ruler who completely rules over one dimension, with her own energy.

– After completing the final stage, the rewards received through the attribute [Abundance] Are increased by 10,000% for a certain period of time. (It drops to 100% after a certain period of time.)

– After completing the final stage, all shelters around the statue have an invincibility effect for a certain period of time.

– After completing the final stage, the blessing of the earth falls on a certain radius around the statue, increasing the growth speed of crops by 1,000%.

– Mission performer Eungyeon’s magic recovery speed is linked to the recovery speed within the shelter.

– Wow…

– Crazy…

People who are busy reading and admiring messages floating in the air, out of focus.

‘It is a divine statue given by the goddess herself, so the effects are beyond imagination, but it is unfortunate that except for the last effect, all are rewards for an uncertain future.’

Actually, if you received 3 more magical power recovery rewards, the impact on the game itself would be so great that it would be unfair.

“If this happens, when I spend my abundance, I will have to split it into what I receive every day.”

“It would be nice not to have to worry.”

You definitely can’t give up on a 10,000% rise.

Even after clearing the final stage.

If you donate 40,000P durability, the original amount is 240P, but due to the new effect, you can receive 24,000P every day for a short time. In just two days, more than the original amount is lost.

“Just looking at the effects, it means that you will continue to use this system even after finishing this game. Ugh…”

As Gahi said, it seemed like there was no way to go back to the same life as before.

And as long as you supply points, there is nothing more convenient than this system.

‘Ah… Ringling…’

I immediately thought of Ling Ling, but my entire body froze for a moment as my partners’ silent gazes were simultaneously pouring towards me.

‘The seven girls have really good memories… But Ling Ling and I have no relationship…’

Burrr- Burrr-

A smartphone that beeps as time goes by.

However, without even lifting a finger from the phone I threw on the sofa, I walked towards the refrigerator.

Then the eyes of the seven partners all roll towards my phone.

‘It’s scary… I’ll have to think a bit more about making an offer to Lingling. As soon as it came, it might disappear like a dead rat…’

Of course, she will not be defeated by force, but she will definitely suffer a lot because it is a different world of pressure.

‘Now that I think about it, there’s no guarantee that it will come, but it’s just a bowl of kimchi soup.’

I slowly sipped my drink and returned, picked up my phone as casually as possible, and headed to my room.

I felt hot gazes on my back, but I am not the same person I used to be to the point of shrinking from something like this.

Full!

After lightly throwing myself on the bed, I opened my phone with excitement and checked Lingling’s text message.

Lingling: Doggo! Are you alive? Huh? Answer me!

Linglin: It’s over, right? But it seems like something has changed in the air. Could it be that something happened to the system?

“Oh… As expected, Linglin, I have a good feeling.”

If you feel something like that without any insight, you have an innate sense.

Puppy: When it comes to games, there was an incident where the version was reset. So the stage ended at level 50. Are you feeling okay? It turned into like I was petrified?

Lingling: I’m fine! It feels like I dozed off for a while and then woke up, so I feel a little drowsy! But what about initialization? What is happening?

Doggo: Why don’t you read the message carefully? It’s probably way up there.

And after a while.

Linglin: Twaaa, what is this? We didn’t have a reward like this, right?

Doggo: Yeah, it might be a little difficult because of that. The difficulty may have actually increased while resetting. I hope you don’t underestimate the next stage. I think the organizer will make some corrections, but…

Linglin: I understand first of all! Now it seems like other people on our team are starting to notice! Thanks for the info! I’ll contact you again later!

“hahahaha, Linglin is the same. Well, since he really stayed the same, I guess I’m the one who changed.”

I feel sorry for thinking that you’re going to have a little trouble because of me, but I guess there’s nothing I can do about it.

If you’re having a hard time, come to us?

Eunchang: Oppa, I’ll be home in 10 minutes~

Now, Eunchae naturally spends the night in my room.

Her soft chest and warm body temperature.

A morning in the shelter of a slightly different air than usual.

And with some worry and some unknown excitement, I stood at the starting line of the stage again after a year.
