Devourer appeared and Haggis looked at the increased number of people it needed to eat ' Why is it more demanding than before ? ' " Are you okay ? " Cela asked " Yeah , it's just for some reason it is demanding a lot to eat , isn't it ? "
They looked at the chained monster that had just appeared in the city ' Definitely has some demons fed in it ' Yuni thought feeling the unique and familiar presence of the devourer .
' It's similar to what the dream showed , but instead it's much weaker , probably cause not a lot of demons were fed . Caprion didn't have to care about his reputation in that dream . And maybe the demons fed it because I humiliated them , being famous is a nuisance sometimes '
Yuni went to the raid boss and checked the time " Yuni , why are you here didn't you clear a raid already ? " "I have to take care of this because the reason it's much stronger is because of the demons I insulted , so I have some responsibility to them too"
" Is it because of what you did to the demon realm " "Good guess , how did you know" even though Yuni isn't talking , Haggis somehow could hear her intended tone " This is no time to be sarcastic , why are you here willingly . Don't you have a house "
"I had clues on what happened , just like before I found the storybook of the major quest I was gonna participate in . I found a clue that this was the raid boss and I know what it does" ' She does ? Is the system assisting her that much ? '
Haggis was confused how the system was able to help Yuni by so much and recalled the challenges ' Oh now that I think about it , the system would respond to any player with at least one challenge that gives out reward instances '
As Haggis was thinking Yuni takes a look at her inventory and faced the devourer ' I should get its attention ' Yuni blew the mandrake whistle and the raid boss looked down , wondering what it was and saw Yuni .
Yuni takes out the stat stones and the devourer immediately recognizes it . They started to drool looking at the quantity that Yuni was showing and Haggis figured out what she was doing " You're gonna feed it those ? "
"Yep , the clues said it likes to eat these , so I was hoping to use that advantage to feed them so I can get the hidden piece , not sure what it is though" Haggis couldn't believe his insistent movement desire to gain Sluggish challenge ended up making the raid boss much stronger and helping Yuni ways he never thought .
" But " "Now go do something else the clues said there is a huge bird up at the mountain that you can hunt down" " I can't leave if the raid boss isn't killed " "You don't have to kill them , they only need to be neutralized"
Yuni takes out more stat stones "Now get away from here" Haggis takes his weapon out and Humility activates "You know what that means" Haggis sighed and leaves ' He is as courageous as the dream described him to be too bad that won't work on me '
Yuni takes out all her stat stones and gives them to the devourer of flesh . When the timer ran out , it gobbled up all the stat stones and felt full from it .

[ Mercy challenge progresses significantly ]
' WOW ' Yuni held herself back as her Solo , N/A and Mercy challenges contributed to the reward ' It was worth going out questing nonstop before Raid season ' Yuni collected her rewards and the Raid boss was sent away .
Haggis couldn't believe how powerful the variable the system bought was ' How is this possible ? ' Yuni left the city and another raid appeared ' It's another quest for the city again , but from the looks of it , this is much doable '
Haggis looked at Yuni , annoyed that he was beaten by her and forced to do another easy quest again ' I will probably need to get some more challenges ' as he thought about it . Haggis attended a meeting to formulate a plan on the new raid quest that appeared .
" We are given the responsibility to defend the city from Raids " a map appeared , revealing a wall with certain areas that are visible " It seems to be assigned to each guild depending on their territories "
" What's that greyed-out area ? " " According to what we know , it is Yuni's territory , our City's soloer " Haggis thinks of the other cities that can be reached by walking through land " How about the other city's ? "
" We couldn't reach them at all , it seems Raid season will block out some areas as of the moment . The defense hour has yet to come , but some freelancers are already intending to leave so that they can take part in the raid elsewhere " " Is it because Yuni cleared the Raid in the city ? "
" Yes " Haggis looked at all the guild leaders , knowing very well that some were the reasons they left ' They're probably being careful because Yuni's fame had humiliated even demons , who are higher level players , so they had to do some damage control by letting the players go or Yuni would've investigated it herself '
...
Yuni looked at the players "Sorry , but you need to have a high performance if you want to keep the job . I'll take the following names , if you miss quota I'm removing you from the gyms" Yuni accepted the players who were too cowardly to fight into the gyms while rejecting the lazy ones .
' It's a good thing House scared them away ' the weaker players returned back disappointed that Yuni wasn't merciful despite having Mercy , but being so aware of her strength , they couldn't do anything ' I will have to look for some raids to clear , but I'm not so sure about just leaving House here .
Yuni thought about the money she needed to pay to use the crown of restraint so that she could start bringing demons to work ' It's unfortunate that I couldn't get that raid boss as a familiar ' Yuni figured that if more raid boss belonged to the demons , they would return much stronger .
' I would need a lot of people to work on the gym to feed it again , but I would need the crown of restraint since it's becoming much stronger ' she thinks of how the system had added alternative payment when she was gonna gain management of the demon realm .
' Maybe they only present that alternative payment if I have them ' Yuni thinks of what else she could do while eating lunch ' I got a lot of money and it seemed like my challenges had increased the reward and the devourer got stronger , which made it easier for me to get more money from that reward '
A dangerous idea appeared in Yuni's head and it seemed as though she was gonna get a challenge that the system could not implement ' High risk high reward , so shouldn't I make the raid bosses more dangerous ? '
She thinks of her previous shenanigans where she fed the boss a lot of power just to make the rewards more and more appealing ' I'm gonna have to do it ' Yuni wrote in her book , a message to taunt the demons .
As she writes in the book , she hurls insults to her enemies , using harsh words and pointing out there failures . The many readers of hers were confused but her enemies were pissed . the church of eternal death , the demons and Grasil was pissed .
Grasil had to hold back since she hadn't broken her deal yet , the church of eternal death and demons , on the other hand .
" This low-level player dares !!! " " It seems just because she became the seven crowned demon king , she thinks she's on our level already " Yuni was not aware of this and continued through her day .
She accumulated more EXP by using the single legitimate training facility , which had many other challenges implemented to it , like extreme temperatures , gravity and debuffs ' Alright let's go to sleep '
Yuni wondered if her Delirium would be used as an opening and hoped the rewards were great , like that time with Lixa .
But she found herself in the second floor of the tower game she played after her world ' God darn it ' she cleared the fight as she destroyed the brittle skeleton army in a short time , Slimes were burned by her simple magic , disease rats were easy to kill with frost spells and in every floor Yuni had to reinvent the skill indulgence that it has become more effective .
' You know , being talented has its perks but drawbacks . It's getting incredibly boring , Humility isn't restrictive enough and my talent itself is a balance-breaking mechanic ' she sighed and got to the next floor .
Yuni dodged an attack and faced the dead boss and received two sets of notifications . One from the tower system and the other from the system she is currently in .
[ The boss has been killed ]10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAdGlY4gMm
[ You may claim your reward ]10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRzyci2qwJ
[ An invader has appeared in your dreams ]10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1WmrJUkMS
[ Kill the invader to complete the quest ]
" You're good , but this place is such a weird dream . Is this some dungeon you were born in monster ? " Yuni dashed toward them ' Who the hell are you calling a monster , you squid pretending to be a tree ' they dodged Yuni and slammed their hand , smashing Yuni into the ground .
Yuni spat out blood from the damage , surprised that the demon was so strong ' now that I think about it , Humility wasn't active ' Yuni felt her life in danger and the tentacles slammed into the ground killing her .
[ Would you like to make another account ]
' You piece of sht , my first death wasn't this early !!! ' Yuni grabbed the screen and crushed it as she hacked into the tower system ' since you deleted my account here , I'll just have to log in from another one '
She regained her cat beastkin character ' Since this is still the fifth floor , the character was still weak in terms of this tower . I guess I would be at the 20th floor from here ? ' Yuni logged back into the game and the intensity of Delirium decreased due to the invasion of a boss and her raise in power .
' Since you want to die that badly , I'll have you destroyed ' Yuni strengthened her body from techniques that belonged to her other games , not from the system she is currently in and dashed to the invader .
" Heh you're weak " Yuni emitted an intense amount of killing intent and the demon was terrified by this and blindly used all their attacks at once . Yuni slashed the attacks , ignoring its effects as her character's defenses increased from the application of skills that it wasn't used to .
" HOW ? " ' Wanna know how ? because I'm a veteran cheater obviously ' Yuni hacked away its flesh roots from the ground and ignited a poisoning fire onto the chopped tentacles " ARGH THIS IS CHEATING "
' Like you're not , I wouldn't cheat unless my opponents a cheater ' Yuni wished she could lower her opponent's stats so she didn't have to cheat ' I've learned this in the second game , but cheating makes everything boring '
" Wait wait wait , I could report this " Yuni hacked the system around the demon "No you won't" The demon was surprised to see the sudden change in design by the screen , which was glitching even more now .
" You're an admin ? " "That's what they called me , but look at it this way . I'm a game developer and its tester . And as both I have to make sure cheaters like you get what they deserve" Yuni cuts off the connection and assistance that the demon receives from using the system .
"This system is great , I bet it was a really good system until leeches like you , who couldn't do anything without it , decided to just wish for more fortune" Yuni sighed and walked to the demon , who couldn't get up because many of the skills necessary for it's giant movements were connected to the system .
' Why can't I get up ' "This is the cost of being complacent and reliant on this system . Maybe it should give people the option to be able to reward themselves" Yuni killed the demon and retracted the skills that the body didn't earn .
' This system is too forgiving to players like you ' Yuni thinks of the stats stones and wonders what this system's origin is ' Seeing as it has a will to ask for help , there must be someone up there that is keeping it in prison , maybe a powerful admin ? '
As she was thinking about the system and its habits , it rewards Yuni ' I don't know how I feel about cheating to fight a cheater '
[ Reward tip ]10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEO2QWgxC1
[ you may use challenges for certain oppurtunities ]
' Challenges ? ' Yuni recalled how she had used the challenge of delirium to be able to absorb the magic circle that Silga casted ' Maybe I should look into the challenge's ability ' Yuni walked to the chest for the fifth floor area boss and claimed it and proceeded to the sixth floor .
[ Repairing damage done by invader ]
As soon as it was finished Yuni breezed through up to the tenth floor with her revived third character account ' My kids altogether are my first account , that admin account I left with them is the second normally I would count the third account as dead but since it was a cheater I'll count it as the third this is not copium '
After relearning the indulgence skill Yuni finally woke up and checked the raid progress ' More undead elves , I better trap their souls as soon as possible so that I could put them to work ' Yuni leaves the increasing undead to House while Damo marveled at House's capabilities .
Yuni finally put back all the undead souls into new demons and gave control to Caprion so that he could force them to make stat stones ' I should also check on Narra to see how well the world tree was working '
She was reluctant to spend a delirium quest reward and was given a notification ' Hmm that could be a good investment considering that I did pay 10 just to head to the city of angels because I didn't have the skill for it '
Yuni agreed to the suggestion of investment and was told to go to the church to claim the reward instance ' Seriously does it have to be the church ? ' Yuni arrived at the church and since there was no priest , she just went to the idol and found that she could easily claim the reward that the system suggested .
' That's strange , do I even need an NPC to do stuff here ? ' Yuni was starting to wonder what the NPCs are for ' Its true that some of the operations require an NPC but do you need to take care of even this ? '
Yuni wondered what it meant and recalled the person who was asking for her help through the system ' Oh if I recall correctly , I assumed they had some kind of admin or else how would they have been trapped and be asking for help '
Yuni also recalled how the necromancers had asked admin's permission to increase the raid strength to dispose of her and the demons had fed the raid boss to get rid of Yuni .
' Maybe there's something I'm not seeing here , the bookstore even had a main branch which they generate skillbooks from , so maybe I should also look into that ' she recalled that the store was closed and decided .
' It's not cheating if I'm curious , plus as a game developer and tester , I have done my fair share of horrible games , so I need to evaluate this one ' Yuni said and excused herself . She hacks the church and found something behind the idols .
' Oh now that's just weird ' she found rewards stacked atop each other behind the idols like pizza cartoons at a pizzaria , she analyzed them quickly ' Each reward aligns to the idol they represent , so that means I was giving away my rewards but to who '
Yuni thought of the main branch and figured that this world's system might be more complicated than the systems where she had created an account in and smiled ' Finally a bigger playground , I hope this endgame they said was gonna happen is going to be grand '
She used her delirium reward instances and got the instructions on how to travel through immaterial realms ' It seems pretty comprehensive ' Yuni reads it while walking back to House and she arrived at the world tree branch .
She entered it and found that the place was much bigger "How is it ?" " It has been great , it seems that they have matched the world tree's standard as nutrients "
' Weird to say it like that , I know the world tree requires a cycle of life and death to preserve it , but saying that the fertilizers have to be high quality makes it feel like elves are raised to be slaughtered '
" I have been progressing more as a spirit too because the branch only has to focus on me and you've bought a lot of elves from the first batch " "I'll try bringing more in and it seems that the church is planning to get rid of me , so there will be a lot of oppurtunities for undead elves"
" Will you be fine ? " "I would be even more worried about Raid season not ending because my enemies are planning to send more attacks . Just last night , they sent an invader and whihc I had to take care of" Yuni leaves while thinking about the system .
' There's that tip that I received after killing that cheater ' Yuni thinks of her challenges ' Maybe I should look at my items ' Yuni could easily match Sobriety with hunger since it is her body's quick digestion that prevents it .
' But I have no use for it , the crown of disasters and poisons don't even work , weapons aren't that useful since I have some good ones already but ' Yuni checked the crown of restraint ' Restraint is the action of limiting freedom '
She checked Humility and wondered if that was the one ' Maybe try it on ' she put the crown on and felt the burdens fall into her immediately . Humility also activated as it absorbed the effect of the burden of restraint .
[ Crown is restricting certain memories and stats ]
' So it's like Humility but constant ' Yuni breaks the restraint on her memories and feels it regenerate ' There's some use in it '
[ Alternative payment detected ]
Yuni checked the descriptions ' I think I can afford this alternative payment , carrying the effects of the crown to be able to use is annoying . The burden doesn't seem to appear in the crown of fiction , maybe cause its mine '
She decided she could finally use the facilities that Damo built ' I won't need to use the crown all the time ' she fills up the gauge of the facility with demon essence and takes out some random demons .
As the first batch of demons was finally made , Yuni used the crown of restraint and set up some rules ' If you keep an elephant in a wooden cage when it's young , it'll never learn how to break it '
Yuni was satisfied as she put on the crown of restraint ' Although the demons might learn about it when they read the story book , but by the time they do , I'll have full control of the crown of restraint without having to deal with the demons '
Yuni suddenly thinks of the possibility of a spy infiltrating and exposing the truth to the demons and thought that she sounds like a tyrant because she exploits demons .
' It's not like I'm doing something bad , the demons themselves are always rowdy , restraining them will allow me to be able to treat them as workers at the very least '
She explained to herself so that she gets to keep working the demons as slaves ' But I do have to care about welfare , as long as they aren't in bad conditions , the demons will not revolt ' Yuni decided to call Damo to build a factory to produce food .
' There are a lot of those here , it even labels what kind of product it makes . ' Yuni packs the blueprints and returns back up " Haha you did great House " Damo said , praising the mass destruction House has done , killing many powerful undeads , while Yuni was worried .
' There's no elves at all ' she figured she may as well use Cremation fire and threw the flames as they only burned the undead and left the living alone ' I guess I'll get rid of the source then ' "Damo I need you to build more facilities"
" Ehh , but what about the upgrades ? " "This one is important and it's not like I will leave the raids to House" They both enter the demon realm and Yuni finds Caprion "You will need to take control of these demons"
" Understood " "And bring out some elves so I can get some information" Caprion bought out the elves while Yuni digs the information " There is a hidden dungeon that the church has made as per the agreements with the admins "
' Interesting , I'm guessing they might be able to make some defenses by now ' Yuni leaves the demon realm ' Though I may be weak as of the moment because of the crown of restraint , Humility is counting that now '
Yuni finds Balance and gives them a tip " Just within the forest ? " Yuni nodded "They are attacking House and I'm just retaliating" " Got it , I'll support you " Yuni leaves as more monsters appeared .
" That god darn balance !!! " the necromancers were pissed that Yuni was leveling the playing field when the system had already reduced their powers because they were much higher leveled .
" The Challenger is here " the crystal echoed , the voices dead out as Yuni killed them " What should we do ? "
Yuni's equipment gains more buffs as she equips a staff for fire magic to cast cremation fire an effective method to clear those who aren't alive ' I've killed undead in my dreams already , no reason to not be able to do it in the real world '
Yuni suddenly sensed an increase in the presence of the undead and figured it must be the necromancers pooling all their buffs into their one singular undead . She heard explosions and the ceiling caved in as the necromancers escaped .
[ Assisting weaker party ]
Yuni got off the rumble and dosed herself with a potion and absorbed its effect before Sobriety penalized her ' Seems they had some plans to ensure they don't get any responsibility ' Yuni opened the stream , ready to get some money as the Dullahan rose from the rumble .
[ Dullahan has now become a raid boss ]
' Is there some kind of condition that makes you a raid boss ? ' Yuni thought and figured that House might become one if they met some conditions . Dullahan's horse charged at Yuni as the they lifted their broadsword up in one hand while the other hand carried its head .
' Maybe it has to do with the definition , House would need to attack players to be a raid boss , but is fighting against other raid bosses the same ? ' Yuni's fake body faded into smoke as Dullahan slashes it .
' There's no reason to tire out the Dullahan and horses like that can pretty much walk on dirt roads ' Yuni equipped the crown of poison and as Dullahan charged toward Yuni , she caused the trees to die and used the crown of hunger to destroy the wood even further .
Yuni ducked under the horse and took that advantage as the horse turns . She used the crown of disasters and caused the soil to break . Yuni used wind magic to spread it to obscure the view while Dullahan clenched their head to keep Yuni from taking it .
Yuni equipped the crown of weapons and walked silently and touched the broadsword . Upon sensing the slight movement , Dullahan located Yuni and swung the broadsword towards her but felt nothing , assuming it was an illusion . They looked around and saw Yuni standing there .
The horse charged towards Yuni and Dullahan swung the sword , only for the sword to fade into a smoke . They were surprised and Yuni slowly reached out and touched the head ' Game over ' with the crown of restraint , she used the head as a catalyst and completely took control of the dullahan .
' The thing about stats is you don't need them , what you need is tricks up your sleeve ' the Dullahan tried to resist the restraints , but Yuni had paid a lot for the crown of restraints use to make sure they couldn't and kneeled in front of her , offering the head .
Yuni cast cremation fire as the head burned and so did the rest of the body and the horse ' My fights are gonna be like this with this crown on my head , it's quite fun '

[ Rewards are being enhanced by Mercy ]
Yuni accepted the rewards and searched for the rumble and found the crystal that acted as a catalyst for the undead ' They spent all of the mana inside but with the mana from the death of Dullahan , I can recover some of it '
Yuni takes the crystal and heads back home ' Now I just have to deal with the demons , maybe I'll find that raid boss with the lame name '10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hHzONvjAN
