House appeared from the sky and fell onto a forest made of trees with crooked and leafless branches made of wood harder than metal . Yuni cast a barrier and House tumbled into the forest , crushing all the wood as Damo got out " Wow these are hard " Damo said and Yuni checked on the loot she got from Mortis's inventory .
' Most of them have been taken away by the challenges ' Yuni wondered what she could do to at least make use of the items ' I can at least still access the crown of fiction ' Yuni suddenly noticed that there were some challenges on her .
' What the ? ' she checked through all of them , wondering where this was coming from ' Is this Welt trying to make me regret my choice ? '
[ Regret ]137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5Z13EwzHp
[ Live through events that cause negative effect on current life ]
' What the fck ? Is it because I did the memory lane ? ' Yuni found even more challenges , which were trying to enhance the experience of the memory lane dream sequences , which simply means that the difficulties were going to increase .
Yuni found several challenges fell under delirium ' What the hell Welt ? Are you that mad at me ? ' Yuni figured this crashout was at the very least reasonable since if she hadn't gotten the anti-raid ticket , she could've spent longer trying to recover her losses . Yuni checked the reason for the sudden increase of challenges and found it .

[ Any challenges that you can participate in will be accepted unconditionally ]
Yuni was partly annoyed by the strange trait given to her , but was glad this was something that only appeared after she had entered another server ' Considering how the storybook never says a thing about where I'm going like before , I'm safe from external threats , but until then I'll have to get used to this long list of challenges . '
She starts doing damage control ' Let's see fight wise I have Hopeless which forces me to the brink of the death but the bookstore has a lot of skillbooks that help take advantage of this . Moreover I can learn some skills through the skillshare facility as long as I put the right targets on their ' there was even more work to do know that this was the case and Yuni started to get used to things .
...
' I'd have farmed a lot of reward instances by now ' Yuni thought to herself as she faced against an area boss attracted by the challenge Decoy , Delirium inflicted phantom pain on her and hopelessness weakened her body .
' I know I said I wouldn't cheat , but what can I do if these challenges are directly attacking me in the soul ' it was like her character doesn't want to cooperate with her thanks to the challenges ' It's like playing a heavy after getting used to a lightweight '
Yuni rolled over as the twisted treant smashed its brittle branches onto the ground , dropping splinters everywhere ' I hate this accursed challenge ' Yuni wanted to curse , but she reminded herself she still had Silence .
' I can not wait to be able to scream all my frustrations at the endgame ' Yuni thought it was cruel to vent out her anger on Welt since they've been in prison longer than her existence ' Maybe I'll vent it out on the warden '
Yuni activated the illusion necklace and felt that it was somewhat stronger now ' Huh that's weird ' Yuni made the treant feel the same phantom pain Delirium was inflicting on her and slashed the air , which the treant moved their body , thinking a vital part was there .
' Okay , I definitely did not learn how to do that yet and neither has the necklace gotten an upgrade I'm aware of ' Yuni grabbed the scales of burden and made the treant feel the same weight she felt and an idea popped into her head ' Oh yeah , there were these kinds of items that benefit from your pain '
Yuni was excited to take advantage of her challenges after finding a way to weaponize her suffering ' But first I'll have to kill you ' Yuni used the illusion necklace and distorted the boss's senses .
' I should also look into how I can weaponize my challenges other than making them feel the same difficulties as I do ' Yuni walked to the treant as it went , made with all the sensations it was feeling and died .
Yuni evaluated the corpse , sensing that the demonic essence that the twisted treant had was changed by the madness it had just been subjected to ' I guess I should expect this much ' Yuni picked up the maddened soul and demonic essence .
' There was that kind of mechanic that Ekins put on the monsters , if they induced certain attacks , it would also affect the drop , unless your processing unit can fix that damage ' Yuni thinks about the processing unit , since they were the only viable replacement for the rewards she usually gets from the system .
' But the problem is if I use that , I might be seen as a pay-to-win user rather than player ' Yuni decided that she'll just have to get used to not getting any rewards and focused on figuring out a way to make use of her challenges and suddenly an idea came to her .
' What if I turn the challenges into a processing unit ? ' the idea seemed so outrageous , but so possible to her ' I mean , the reward instance it generated seems so useful if I could get some , but in the end , I can't exactly gain things just by being blind it only gives experience with the darkness . Moreover , I would have to hack into the system and establish lines of code to make this possible '
Yuni didn't want to get banned for interfering with the system without having developer access or the like . So she thinks about the only ways she could actually get close to it .
' Ekins said that the processing unit is a product of a system that builds lines of code so that the processing unit can be installed into any characters and can be edited '
Ceil had done a study on how to transform the lines of code into actual processing units and Yuni , having one base to work with , took Limos and gave them the demon essence ' The only problem with Limos is that they cannot spit things out , so I got to teach them '
Limos ate the demon essence by Yuni's command and when it got to their stomach , they felt sick . Limos puke out the demonic essence , grossed out by it , while Yuni checked all the produce .
' Hmm it looks like Limos's biological division of stats can be applied to anything , but it must be removed before anything else happens or the process would digest it into stat stones ' there were already problems in here .
First was how unhealthy this is for Limos , a normal digestion involves eating food and turning it into energy . But vomiting it out would not only waste the energy of the body but also ruin it .
' But there is a solution and that would be having a second stomach but the problem is Limos's body ' Yuni first fed Limos some stat stones to calm them down and conveyed her thoughts to Limos .
Upon reading it , Limos got off Yuni's lap and hid behind a door shivering ' I knew they'd react like this , but there are some benefits to it , mostly for me and Limos isn't like Damo , who is used to society . They're more used to the law of the jungle and they are susceptible to trusting someone for helping them a little '
There were ways that Rein told Yuni on how to tame some of the monsters and cooperate with them . Upon weighing the cost of gaining Limos's cooperation , Yuni takes out something very valuable .
"Here" Yuni showed Limos a holy artifact that they've constantly been eyeing for , after spotting the holy grail . They drooled , but thinking about the text they read caused them to radiate suspicion towards Yuni while they ate the artifact , gaining another stat stone that was embedded onto their body .
' For now , I'll have to figure out what kind of use my challenges have , so until then , the processing unit development that Limos has will take some time to get used to ' Yuni checked the angel shop to look for some artifacts that benefit from her challenges or at least draw power from them .
' Wait , draw power from them ? ... There's a holy sword here grows stronger depending on the wielder's ability to save , just like how the illusion catalyst can draw out the power of challenges under delirium '
A list of challenges was opened and Yuni checked on most of them ' Humility has the bandages restricting the execution of certain skills , but since I have many more of these , I think I can get more '
Yuni thinks about the many hours of luck that she splurged most of her money on and then thinks about all the items that the challenges have taken and locked away ' I don't think I will need the rewards for a while Welt , with all these challenges and the random box gacha I think I can handle thankless '
...
The demons were all annoyed by the thief that has been stealing all of their resources and this thief had also become even more infamous throughout the other servers .
Many of the owners of the facility that generates stat stones were suspicious about that already , since the thief had helped the eternal death who lost to the challenger , who just so happens to have some kind of device or ability to remove the stat stones . But luckily for Yuni , this suspicion couldn't be confirmed .
But as for why they never suspected monopoly was because they never received the notification . In fact , they never even suspected that Fame-generated storybooks could be tampered with .
So now they have their eyes on Yuni's loot , who was never reported for losing stat stones because of her isolated land .
Some of the demons were already thinking of a way to isolate their land , but when someone had tried it and failed , they had to think that maybe the thief had their reasons , aiming for them instead .
And this is where the division within the scammer demons widened . Each of the leaders was starting to get suspicious of the others and was constantly sending spies to see who it was .
Yuni sends Damo , disguising him a little so he doesn't look like the ones in the storybook to gather intelligence learned about this ' Dang day one and this is some news I got from Damo '
Yuni thought of the irony since in the previous round it was Limos who caused all the guilds in a single server to develop distrust against each other and now it was her actions that caused it .
The damage was even greater long term as the leaders no longer trust each other ' I'm just glad that I haven't revealed the how on stat stone production with better quality ' Yuni thought to herself with a tone that sounds straight out of an advertisement for a better product .
She reads the rest of the information that Damo gathered from drinking pubs to pubs ' If Rein was reading what I had sent Damo to do , she would be annoyed by how I'm making an innocent demon cat whose job is a developer into a spy '
Yuni decided to make a mention that while Damo had been collecting information , he was actually given a lot of treats because of his cute appearance while collecting information ' That should calm her down when she reads this , if she ever reads it '
Yuni bought some books for Damo and clocks out as she goes to sleep ' I think it's about time to get the new game , I recall this game was basically Neslihan's inheritance game . '
There was a set of choices which was automatically chosen by Yuni but suddenly an interference came to her and the choice was suddenly selected to another one .
' Oh no ' the cards were all selected and Yuni was heading straight to the endgame ' Man I usually complete these very quickly , but this is really pushing it '
Yuni completed the inheritance process , which was a bunch of puzzles that she had to solve . Something that she had a lot of difficulties with because of her blindness ' At least it stayed true to the material , I can't believe that recklessness is also going to influence my dream sequences '
Yuni thought of the memory lanes and wondered how long it would take if her challenges were stretching the time of each game system ' It was pretty long during the first few games , but as I progressed , it got easier and faster too the more I understood the world systems . I remember Ceil getting annoyed to having to investigate each lore by herself '
Yuni wakes up and goes outside , setting up a goal for this branch of the demon realm ' I'll be ending those scammers for good , they don't know much because of my use of the crown of restraint and speaking of the crown '
Yuni checked the crown slots and found that there was one that was forming ' Hmm ? a reward ? ' due to thankless Yuni got used to not getting any reward but for some reason this one was giving her one .
[ Gather achievements and a crown of its liking will appear ]
Hacking into the system allowed her to search for the source , being the storybooks of the crowned demons ' I thought it would be related to the world , but specifically the storybook of the crowned demons ? Maybe I can get rewards , but not directly from Welt , maybe there's a way to look for them ? '
While thinking about it , a slot appeared under the empty crown slot which kicked out the crown of hunger ' Hmm from what I learned , this reward isn't coming from Welt but rather the storybook and in this storybook , there is a world system . I guess it took a while for it to grow . And it looks like it has gotten enough power from this demon realm '
She was starting to wonder if there was also another world system in this branch of the demon realm and thought about the vastness of the demon realm having a world system on a single branch .
' I'll call this the crowning , with its history of crowning demons related to their deeds in from the broken branch ' suddenly a loading screen appeared in a different font and style .
[ Player Yuni has already attained certain achievements in this demon realm ]
Yuni was surprised to hear it and suddenly came the reward .
[ Crowning of player has occured ]137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIluOKntTyB
[ Crown of Monopoly will be formed ]
Yuni recalled that she had stolen from all the demons and all of a sudden , Yuni felt her inventory reduce in the materials as the crown of Monopoly took stat stones she had stolen from the demons , allowing it to grow stronger .
' Okay so even without Welt , I am still being rewarded ? ' she recalled her understanding that Welt would technically reward anyone depending on their achievement and with the crowning , taking inspiration from Welt it had established itself as part of Yuni's account and character as well as a giver like Welt .
This in turn caused the crowning to start gathering all of Yuni's resources acquired through Solo's monopoly to form as the crown of Monopoly and it turned its target to other potential targets .

' Wait , what about fighting ? ' Yuni asked the crowning , but to the crowning they already considered Yuni's tricks against the demons as fighting them as not only has she stolen from them , but also tricked them so she could monopolize their products on her own without being suspected .
And to the crowning that was enough to be counted as an achievement . While it is strange to gain the crown of Monopoly her Solo challenge already had monopoly as a base for the new crown .
[ All production of stat stones will fall under Crown of Monopoly ]137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKia1eqSqs

' It seems like the crowning only gives me crowns depending on how good my achievements are , Monopolizing all those stat stones is crazy and not getting caught is crazier too , but I wonder how this crowning system works ? '
Yuni could tell that this was going to be a great system if it had been established in a proper world ' Wait, doesn't that mean that Balance is also a world system ? ' Yuni started to think about how Welt described themselves as the reward .
' Looking back , it didn't make sense and I never really studied how world systems were made , but only did some theorising . So maybe the system Welt was before they became self-aware , was involved in rewarding its inhabitants when they didn't feel acknowledged '
Yuni wondered what kind of world would cause something like this ' I don't know about rewards at all , maybe it's cause I'm rich ? ' she thought of Naul , who was so greedy that she had to help an admin from what Ekins calls bankruptcy .
While thinking about that , Yuni checked the crown of Monopoly , thinking Naul would enjoy using it ' Although it does embody monopoly by a lot ' there was a strained eye that represents the greed of Monopoly , hands were holding onto things like blueprints , skillbooks , stat stones and a bag of money and random resources that Yuni had taken through Monopoly .
' It's a bit quirky and the positioning of the hands is a bit messed up . If Rein sees this , she would require a complete makeover , but what can this young system do ? Monopoly is such an abstract concept that can be associated with greed , but Monopoly is pretty structured '
She recalls the other crowns the crowning previously made and assessed their design . Seeing as most of them were very easy to understand since they weren't as abstract as Monopoly , so making their designs wasn't so difficult .
' Or maybe the crowning based the design choices on how they are viewed by others , That is where most inspiration came from according to Rein . ' while thinking about the crowning Yuni recall the birth of a being that came after the crowning system .
' I should check if Balance has the potential to be a world system ' Yuni went to Balance and checked ' Hmm that's weird . Balance has no potential at all ? ' Yuni was confused since she had seen the scale of Balance's origin .
' Actually , it would be weird for them to be a system when they have self-awareness first . Welt did mention they only became self-aware after the system grew or maybe it's because Balance's world was so small . ' Yuni could sense that Balance had potential , which seemed to have disappeared a long while ago .
' Maybe I should bring this up to Welt and ask them about it ' Yuni checks on the status of this demon realm and finds out that it has a sort of ranking system ' It seems like Welt or Warden built this to create competition , but the demons end up using this as some sort of control over others '
There were a lot of consequences of using such a system , one of which was that the demons wouldn't dare to challenge a demon stronger than them . And it was taken advantage of by the demons to force them to be beneath them .
This kind of cause and effect caused the ranking to be modified into something vaguer . Which involved listing ten names and calling them the top ten without the right arrangement and then 10-50 and et cetera et cetera .
It fixed the problem , but it also created the ten demons of the table , which made it so that the ten demons rule the entire branch region .
' But since it hasn't put me up there , I'm guessing I'm kind of an anomaly ? I do have Humility and Adversity , so my ranking would be weird . And this fighting part is also ironic , usually you have demons fighting here and there . But this ranking system basically established a society that keeps the weak weak '
The lowest ranking was considered for both livestock and workers . The reason the livestock exists is to keep the workers in check and force them to obey the rules , thereby preventing rebellion on the ten demons .
Yuni leaves House to go to the demons while wearing a stealth spell to prevent demons from finding out about her ' I cast this , but there is clearly a giant arrow that is pointing under me . The only reason it is hard to find me is that it grew bigger as my fame did '
Yuni teleported herself in the middle of a meeting ' First , let's listen to what they have to say ? Cause as long as I am inside a building with them , they won't notice ' Yuni learns more about their conversation and feels the tension they have around them .
' Hmm it would be troublesome if they suddenly decided to team up against me , I could use Rilvor and Gyan , but the thing about Solo is that my character has to do most of the work . I can use the characters , but they only act as support , which is annoying since they also had to make a sudden update that I ahve to be the main dps '
Yuni sighed but since there was no such thing as winning a war with battle only she decided to change her approach based on what she learned from the meeting ' How about dragging them down with this demon they mentioned ? '
She first thinks about the things she needs to do to appear a credible supporter to the demon that was gonna help her .
' As Rein would say , a king will only look majestic if they look majestic on the surface , it doesn't matter how rotten they are to the core ' Yuni returned home , leaving the demons with the news that Yuni has become the Crowned demon of Monopoly and contacts Caprion in person .
" You want to trick some demons into obeying you ? " Yuni nodded "I also want to replace the leadership and turn this place into a production site" " That planof sponsoring a demon , does seem plausible with our resources and facilities , but why am I at the front ? "
' Cause according to Welt , you were a very good businessman who can even deal with demons , but I can't say that ' "It doesn't matter , you'll be getting a moola to support the kids and I can even send you to the lower worlds to bring in some kids to save them , whatdya say Caprion ?"
Caprion felt like Yuni was just throwing money at the problem , but seeing the amount and the digits that Yuni offered for his help , Caprion agreed "Alright first I need to make a beautiful design first gather up all the demons and with all that money and demon essence Monopoly gathered , I can bring in another crowned demon while you will work up a script"
Caprion was curious about which one it would be and Yuni kicked Rilvor out of the party , giving the characters to the souls " You fool " Rilvor used his crown , but suddenly was stopped by the crown of Monopoly .
"Don't try anything funny Rilvor , that body you inhabit is mine and no matter what you attempt to do , you will not be allowed to do what you wish without my consent" Yuni told Rilvor as Gyan was called and told of the plan .
...
Caprion sets up the stage and with the three crowned demons standing guard along with other greater demons that Caprion had made a contract with , while he stood beside a throne that Damo had made based on the aesthetics of the crown of monopoly .
Yuni decorates the throne by putting the other crowns on the unoccupied hands and they grasped the crown , clenching them tightly .
"The stage is set , Caprion . Summon our fallen demon" Caprion nodded and activated the summoning circle . As a demon , the ten demons were cautious of appeared . They were surprised with the sudden change of environment and feels the dense concentration of demonic essence as well as the void of it on the throne .
" Fazor , the eternal livestock . We have an offer for a demon like you " Fazor was surprised to hear from Caprion , who had a low concentration of demonic essence while the other with higher concentration were silent as if just there for show " Where am I ? " a screen containing Yuni's information appeared and they quickly understood what this place was .
" Why would the challenger choose me ? " they were confused that Yuni was sitting on the throne " Ahem , you are selected for our plan to take over the ten demons who tried to scam the eight crowned demon . We have studied your history and find you very suitable for the crowned's sponsor " Caprion said .
' So they know I was the former ruler ? ' " How will this support come ? " Caprion asked and Yuni smiled "If you have a strong will against the rulers , then you will get it , but if not , then I will simply choose the next one , which will be one of the current ruling ten demons"
