' Looks like something good ' Yuni looked forward to developing the demon realm and checked it to see the desolate land and a sudden prompt ' A paywall ? Seems reasonable this kind of game essentially makes you a god or something similar , I am racking up a lot but still not enough '
Yuni found an alternate payment ' I have to give up the reward of the storybook of crowned demons and heroes ? ' Yuni checked the rest of the reward and found that one of them was the book ' If I recall correctly , I used the crown of fiction to trap the castle because it was a shame '
She knew how wasteful destruction truly is and checked the alternative payment's description ' If I am using this to lower the payment and still keep it how is it considered payment ? ' she still accepted it nevertheless and a screen appeared .

' That's fast , it already got up to 10 percent , but that might be because of the castle , it did act as the anchor for the demon realm . ' Yuni checked her wallet had lost some of its digits .
' Oh god dang it , guess that's ownership , I should be glad that it's very cheap already ' she checked her status screen , which had a lot of titles that flooded the inside .
[ Humility Update ]13Please respect copyright.PENANARRl1T8ybvt
[ Items are now considered ]
' The update is here , bet they used Balance as a reference ' Yuni thinks of how long it took for the update to be made and figured the encoder of Humility likely had a lack of inspiration and only got some when they looked into the Balanace's ability to bless equipment .
' They are very useful when I want to do something , Maybe I should go and look at my mail ' Yuni filtered out the mail and found many reward claims which she had claimed directly rather than keeping them in the mail .
' I have a lot of storage and most of them are souls and demon essence . I might have to use this inventory on the new game I'm getting ' Yuni wanted to look at the download rate , but figured it was fine to leave it alone and checked her mails .
' There's a demon who is mad at me for destroying a part of their branch ' Yuni figured that they'll also attack her like Grasil or maybe they would do it after Grasil was taken care of .
' Either way , there's no reason for them to try to get back at me , it might be more costly for them to do so , Ceil said it herself and she is good at managing players despite insulting them the most . Meanwhile , Zaun doesn't give a damn about their feelings when forcing them to train '
She reads the messages that had asked for compensation , as well as healing the broken demon realm and handing it back to the demon who owned it ' They say it's theirs , but there sure are a lot of other demons claiming it's their territory '
Yuni assumed that the broken branch was a free territory and seeing as the tree was the one who got rid of it , Yuni assumed that the demons were all trying to scam her ' Even the storybook agrees '
She thought of her reliance on the storybook and figured that she probably shouldn't trust everything it said . But the use of spreading the demon's mail out to ruin their reputation was very tempting .
' Maybe I should hold myself back , plus it's not like I can't save these ' Yuni saved the scam mail and looked at the other , which wanted to get some trades ' I'd rather not . I have quite a lot of blueprints from patience already , I might be able to put some use with them '
But she does worry about her lack of support and resources ' I do have access to a shop free of charge because of my fame with them , so I guess I could buy from them , but the problem is most angelic products are usually poisonous to demons . '
She thinks of training their holy resistance , but figured that would make the angels think she's gonna go after them ' Moreover , there's no reason to make the demons gain resistance to holy magic , the best bet is to make them work on their own in their playing field . '
Yuni smiled , happy to have a level of authority ' I did want to ask about why the abandoned mines had the confidentiality trait , but I don't have to care now that it has become my story instead '
Yuni hears a knock on the door and Haggis appeared " Oh hello , who are you mister ? " Haggis looked at Damo and sighed as he released all the stress " I just want to visit " Haggis walked ot the bedroom and looked at Yuni .
" You stole my stat stones " ' Oh that's right , there was that wasn't there ' Yuni threw some money toward him "Is that good enough ?" " I don't want money , I want some blessings from the balance "
Yuni was annoyed that her assets were being revealed by the storybook "Okay I'll get them" Yuni instructed Balance to make a blessing just for Haggis and wondered if he purchased another storybook since she likely burned his .
[ Download in progress ]13Please respect copyright.PENANAasYHWOR6u7
[ Permission to use the map of pathways from Crown of knowledge ]
' I'll agree to it ' she accepted , figuring that the map could progress the download much faster ' I racked up a lot of patience reward instances since I went through all those storybooks and memories , so I should claim them soon '
Haggis watched Yuni leave and takes his blessed weapon with him " How did you figure out that the castle was the anchor " "It's in the book" " I haven't read it for a while " "Not my problem in the first place . Why are you talking to me ? Do you have something that you want others to know ?"
' She caught on quick ' " I guess I do , with your fame , it could be easy to gain things , that reward that you got about the broken branch that you have could be used as training " ' I would need to gain some resistance to demon magic ' Haggis thought .
" So I was looking forward to helping you " "What can you help me with ? I'm about to get some blueprints off the idol" " You may have that , but you don't have proper personnel , I doubt the demons would just listen to you and surely the balance can't just maintain a blessing just for you all the time , you saw that they can make blessings from the stat stones "
' He is right on that matter ' "Then do you have any personnel ?" Haggis smiled " I have a black mage in my group , they are best suited for magic related to demons . It will be good for him to be able to train and he's very capable "
"Then I'll look for you at the challenge office for evaluation . I need to farm some reward instances after getting the blueprints" the part ways and Yuni claimed the patience rewards , which were construction blueprints that could be used in the demon realm .
' I should use the crown of knowledge to store them all , there's only so much storage my inventory has and I doubt I would be able to keep paying the rising price ' Yuni heads to the challenge office but couldn't find Haggis and went in to farm some reward instances first .
Yuni came out and saw a bunch of children and an elderly "I thought it was just one ?" " It was , but he wanted to make sure the kids are safe " Yuni faced the elderly man , sensing some amount of demonic power in him .
' It's not very strong , but it looks like he gambled some of his remaining life for power . And from the looks of it , he has a lot of talent ' " Hello miss Yuni " Caprion said .
' Since he made a deal with a demon , Haggis probably figured I could make use of him , but how does he know they're talented ? Did he drink a similar potion that I drank or was it just a good guess or gamble ? '
"I see that you spent your lifespan for power" " 10 years to be exact " ' 80 years old and barely hanging on ' " My body will die , but I heard I will become a demon because I got power from them , so I would like to be able to keep these children safe "
"The children will need a gas mask and some holy relics will do . But you will be a demon after your death " " That is fine , it is already a great opportunity for me to work in a much stronger body " Caprion said and Yuni didn't like their obedient attitude .
"Follow me" Caprion waved goodbye to Haggis and followed Yuni while taking the kids " Listen to Miss Yuni , alright ? "
They arrived at House who prepared lunch "Damo , we're eating outside" " Okay master " Damo said while the kids thought ' he looks so cute and fluffy ' they ate outside and Yuni waited for the download to complete .
Once they finished lunch , the download was almost done , Yuni gave Caprion some instructions and took him inside House while leaving him a book made from a demon " Where is Grandpa Caprion ? "
"He's reading" Yuni takes out the storybook of crowned demons and heroes while Yuni bought a batch of holy relics from the store ' I should find a way to make some stat stones rather than that can you at least explain what it does , it's not as simple as one plus one when it is suppsoed to be harder to gain another level as you level up '
Yuni clicked on the new stat stones to read the description ' Much better ' "Stat stones are more potent the bigger the gap is between the user and its level"
Despite being inside another game , Yuni continued to be very attentive to some lack of detail ' Maybe that's why I don't explore much ' the download was complete and Yuni gave each of the children a holy relic .
"Do not remove them , got it ?" " Yes , Miss Yuni " ' I feel like a kindergarten teacher ' she opened the book and a castle gate appeared in front of them . They all crossed in and marveled at the granduer of the throne room .
" Wow " Yuni closed the book as soon as all the children were in and waited . The door was knocked and she opened it to see a well-kept demon with a goat head " Hello Miss Yuni , the ritual was complete "
"Children , this is Grandpa Caprion's new body" The children looked at Caprion , only a little terrified , despite Caprion head looking like a goat with some darkened features " Is it ? " " Of course , who else would tell you a storybook to bed "
As Caprion convinces the children that he was the grandpa they knew , Yuni was checking on the facilities she could use ' Hmm it looks like the sap of the demon tree isn't working ' The demon tree sap was just an analogy to refer to demonic essence .
' It would make sense since it was broken off from the tree itself , but I have a lot of them in storage , but I'll need to work on a way to make more of them if I want some hands around the demon realm '
There were no clear mechanics that Yuni was allowed to use except for communicating with someone and she used it to text Caprion and received a reply ' Seems like a newly developed game , it's good that they made it so it doesn't overwhelm the user ' Yuni first checked her resoruces .
' The demonic essence is limited and while I can use the demon essence to bring out demons , making them swear loyalty isn't easy ' there was an option to turn the children into a sacrifice , but she refused that easily .
' Even though they are one of the best sacrifice in efficiency . It is also the one thing that can let you speed run into a horrible reputation . While most people understand that demons love to devour souls , the biggest thing they like is anything that was living , hence a deal with them costing an arm or leg or maybe your life . '
She had read the introduction to developing demons while having lunch and already made a plan ' Let's figure out the ecosystem ' The land was completely barren , so Yuni needed some life here .
' I can speed time up by using money and I can start by searching up some demon seeds , but the problem is I don't know where ' there was a lot of demon essence in the air , but there were no plants around .
' Let's see what the angel store got ' Yuni found what she needed ' It's a big price , but it's worth it ' Yuni paid for the miracle of plant life .
' It's nice to know that angels are aware that spreading seeds of their faith is considered invasion ' she applied the miracle on the demon realm and paid for a time acceleration .
A forest grew around the castle and as the anchor of this realm the castle remained intact despite the forest growing around it "Manage the forest and make sure that the seeds disperse themselves"
Yuni selected the crown of knowledge and took out some books made from demons who used plants and magic that could be used for seed dispersal "Understood" ' He's getting used to the role '
She purchased a nursery for the children and placed a holy relic to protect it "Make sure to pay the debt alright" " I will " Yuni leaves and Caprion smiled to the children " Now children , grandpa will be doing some farming alright "
" Can we come ? " " After I check that it's safe " Yuni returned almost broke ' I spent too much , but that's what happens when you buy loyalty with money . ' She checked her storybook and found that Caprion was not in there and a notification appeared .

Yuni thought of the cost and sighed . She paid for it to ensure money and monopoly and went back to the challenge office to farm some reward instances ' At least I get a lot of money from it and there's my channel too but they might be disappointed since I haven't done any streams yet '
She thinks about the viewers who would like a livestream from her channel ' There's no upcoming quest yet , so not much to make other than some minor quest , plus the abandoned mines didn't have a lot of good content '
Yuni figured that she should get used to using her crown of fiction with the illusion necklace now that she can't use its full power without Balance ' I should probably go look for Haggis and sell the whistle , but I did plan to make that elaborate filter '
There was confidence in her plan to create a magic like this , as it wasn't so hard for Yuni to be able to do something like this ' It would take most of my time though , but I could just have some demon do it instead '
Yuni thinks of the second crowned demon ' It might be possible to force them to be a researcher however , using the crown of restraint to force them into submission is so costly but the paywall's cost is reasonable . '
The cost was expensive even more than Caprion's employment wage ' They are pretty unbalanced, so using them on the new game would be better . I could use them despite the limit to it because of my character's weakness '
Yuni thinks of what the next quest would be , wondering if it could be a grab for territory , dungeon clears , gathering and hunting quest or the daring quest that had a choice between high and low risk with equally high and low rewards the exploration quest .
' It's so exciting to finally play a game that's actually good ' While thinking of the future quest , Haggis was already certain about the next quest ' They're probably gonna surprise us with a boss raid , they're gonna send down some monsters so that we fight . A lack of preparation is what killed half of this server causing it to merge with another server '
Haggis looked through the adults who wanted to save some of the children as well as make connections ' Since there's already a big butterfly flapping her wings , the time might be tighter or much longer . Either way , I need to make sure to kill that boss monster '
Yuni checks her challenges and found one gaining a progress bar ' N/A has two reward instances must be related to how many levels I should have '
There were no idols for the two new progress bars so Yuni just spammed the claim button for a while and got a reward ' Stat stone making instructions ? ' Yuni thought that this must be related to the existence of EXP itself ' I never really get the existence even the leveling up system we had was considered hardcore because you don't actually gain EXP but actual experience '
She wondered if it had to do with immaterial things ' I'll just read it tommorow for now let's go to sleep ' Yuni wanted to make sure that Delirium's quest came properly or else Mercy will be forced to use one reward instance .

[ Generating quest conditions ]
Yuni appeared and first tries to see what it was ' Oh wait it's a continuation of that memory ' Yuni figured she was gonna have to wait again for a long time and accepted it . She witnessed the start of her journey as her younger self reads the collector's notes and learned about a world beyond her birthplace .
"I cannot believe the many people that tried to inherit the position of the manager , many had said it was impossible and settled for a simple position beneath that" ' I never knew at that time , but I remembered coming here to visit to try and show my children the burden I held '
She was annoyed by their ungrateful attitude towards her suffering and her children called her "cringe" "Trauma dumping" ' I still hate those ungrateful brats , one day , when they reach a threshold just like that collector , I'll figure out how to make the inheritance potion I drank '
"I've collected enough firstborns and now I just have to watch them grow"
"year one all the firstborns celebrated the day I received them , it was a birthday to motivate them . There is no point in growing attached to them , they are only small pebbles to help me become a boulder"
"Year two , I started their education to ensure their souls are trained well and to mold them to be able to inherit the burden of emotions and power that came with responsibility . Exercise was also important and I have been expanding their diets so that they can become much more capable of inheritance"
"Year three , I made sure that they all compete , I placed prizes and telling them to simply do their best . I applied many teaching methods to ensure they are well developed and have a stable foundation"
"Year four , the development is going well , they are scoring much higher than children twice their age . Yet they still retain the vigor and curiosity of 4 year olds . It has made them much more suitable for any inheritance"
"Year five , the top performer will have to be the final ingredient I will need to make sure that all of them are obedient however , Obedience can be detrimental to the inheritance potion for that foreign heritage"
There was no log for the sixth year as it only reached the fifth . Yuni hears herself approach the potion they made , which was unlike the previous dream as it remained intact ' Not again ' Yuni felt the same pain that came from the potion of inheritance as she resisted the pain .
' It's pretty mild compared to before , tolerable but hurts like crazy ! ' Yuni tolerated the pain and the dream ended . Yuni wakes up annoyed by the first intense pain she has experienced . The pain was something her young body had to handle too , which made it even more painful .
' I'll probably be seeing it again later on ' Yuni thought of how to make use of Delirium for other things ' It can lead to other dimensions , so maybe I could use this soon ' she wondered if this could help her in walking other realms just as it did with the others .
' There are a lot of stories that depict characters going mentally unstable as they walk the planes , different from their own so that advantage to explore also means facing something that destroys your worldview daily ' Yuni checks her mail and finds a lot of emails on application .
"Sorry Haggis but I do not need that much I still have a lot of work to do" Haggis knew something like this was gonna come up since Yuni had paid a lot just to get Caprion .
' She only accepted him because he had good stats so I can't force her , even she must be aiming to survive but the fact that she didn't come in a group could mean that the system intentionally bought her in '
Haggis figured that Yuni had a lot of talents , hence why she was chosen ' I'll have to break the news to them soon , it won't be any different from the beggars ' Haggis walked out and saw some elves .
' She should be able to take care of them moreover , they wouldn't dare to do anything if Yuni has Balance with them , however , since they infiltrated the quest and made it spike , it could be better to warn her '
Yuni reads the message and wondered what to do about it ' I wonder what they want to do ' the elves walked around House and were subdued immediately . Yuni tied them up and asked "What do you want ?" although the elves were nervous they answered .
" To sign an oath that you do not leak the information that you have learned about us elves " "And ?" "Surrender your copy of Prince Grasil's storybook" Yuni weighs the pros and cons .
' My readers would figure that I somehow had encountered it and probably be hooked around the elves , so the best way for this to end is obvious ' "I want something in exchange" The elves did not try to argue .
" What is it that you want ? " "A world tree branch , according to the books in here , I can use it to improve a forest's growth , if you've seen my new storybook "the rule of the seven crowned demon" you can tell that I have a forest now and I want it as resilient as possible"
Grasil who was reading this already agreed to it " We will contact our superiors first but if you leak the information this deal is off " " But first make an oath that you would agree to not leak it "
' Sure it progresses my silence challenge anyways ' "Then you do the same too Grasil" Yuni's words reflected into her book and she reads Grasil's storybook .
Grasil makes an oath to trade a branch of the world tree to Yuni in exchange for her silence on his matters .
Yuni made the oath too and once that was settled , she let them go ' The readers will wonder about that , which means I have the opportunity to ruin his opportunity and they can't get mad at me since I had to cover their reason and I can't do anything about it '
Grasil felt chills through his body ' What is this uneasiness ? She better not reveal any information . If she does reveal any more than necessary , my reputation and credibility will be destroyed ' Yuni thought of how killing a bunch of foreign people would heal the world tree .
' I don't know much about how a world tree heals , but will it be fine if the world tree use the corpse of other races as fertilizer ? ' Yuni thought of the mad forest and wondered if that was even the right kind of fertilizer for something as valuable as the world tree as it fed on dead elves .
' if I recall , the quest said that the reward was the death of the world tree but why is that given as a reward ? doesn't seem to benefit me in anyway . ' she wondered if the system had a different perception of rewards and penalties ' They did penalize me when I sacrificed myself , but for some reason , it benefited me ? '
She was confused by the difference in the perception of rewards and penalties because of her experiences ' If it does benefit me at least tell me why ... but maybe that why only comes after gaining the reward , I did took a while to understand why I was penalize by Mercy when I chose to be a sacrifice . Maybe they just display that as cause and effect
