You can change the novel's language to your preferred language at any time, by clicking on the language option at the bottom left.

A red ant approached No.404 while stepping down the hallway of a crude building.

It was the smallest of the ants there, but when it appeared, the other ants trembled and moved out of the way.

It was impressive to see the ants step out of the way like the parting of the Red Sea.

The ant approached No.404, who was lying face down.

No.404 shuddered and opened his mouth.

“Oh, great sorcerer ○○.”

Then the ant opened its snout, stroking the white mass of its beard-like jaw with its front paws.

Strangely enough, the approximate meaning looked like text.

“I believe in what you say. I also felt the energy of that evil demon.”

No.404 trembled as if thrilled.

Then the bearded ant shook its head.

“This is now the territory of His Majesty the Great Emperor. We cannot leave the evil demons of the Black Tribe in such a sacred place.”

The beard ant placed its forepaw on No.404’s head.

“Nature will be with you!”

Flash!

A dazzling blue light enveloped No.404, and his wounds, which were pouring bodily fluids, healed in an instant.

It was like a miraculous sight.

“Guide me, brave soldier. I will subdue that demon myself.”

Dozens of ants who had been standing still as if moved by the scene rushed towards the bearded ant and No.404.

“I will help too!”

“With the wise man, I won’t be afraid of any demons!”

The bearded ant nodded happily and shouted.

“Thank you! Together with us, we must defeat the evil spirits!”

It is a scene that is quite touching.

however.

Could it be that I am the demon that you guys want to subdue?

* * *

“Yup!”

I woke up.

I wiped the saliva that dripped from my mouth with my hand and recalled the dream I had just had.

In my dream, I was an ant.

But did I dream of an ant? Or is the ant dreaming of a person like me?

As if it reminds me of my dog dream….

Tring! Tring!

-No.404 × × × × × God × × × × invasion × × × ×!

-No.808× ×× ×× God× ××× Invasion××××!

-No.809 × × × × × God × × × × invasion × × × ×!

(Snip)

The word intrusion was added to the message, and a sharp beep sounded from the phone.

The ants that appeared this time were not the existing black ants, but large red ants that were red like blood.

“uh? this guy!”

I found a familiar number among them and sharpened my teeth.

It was the No. 404 ant that had run away after playing with me earlier.

“It went well! I’ll kill you this time!”

When, out of vengeance, I raised my index finger and tried to crush him to death.

An ant much smaller than the other ants in size stepped in front of him.

Unusually, the ant’s chin had hairballs like corn whiskers.

‘Could it be the bearded ant I just saw in my dream?’

The bearded ant, holding a small stick-like branch in its paws, opened its snout at me.

Curiously, I heard the ant’s cry.

-Nature will reject evil!

No, rather than that, it would be more accurate to say that it was visible.

Tsutsutsu!

At the same time, a blue flash flashed from the branches.

“uh?”

Flash!

A blue flash popped out of the phone screen.

Quick!

I didn’t even have time to panic, and it was heavily embedded in my forehead as I tried to kill No.404.

“Ah!”

With a scream, my body collapsed like a rotten tree.

thud!

* * *

A bunch of ants.

When they first heard of No.404, they laughed at him.

Does it make sense that a terrifying demon appeared in the lowest difficulty hunting ground?

If it had not been led by No.808, a great shaman and sage, they would have been ignored.

But No.404’s words were true.

The demon at the end of the hunting ground was more terrifying than they imagined.

Its size was greater than any mountain in the world, and its eyes, burning with rage, burned more eeriely than the sun.

Everyone was frozen in fear and could not move.

-…!

The demon let out a scream that would tear the sky apart and slashed its fingers at No.404.

Goo Goo Goo!

It was only a finger, but to No.404, it was as if a rock the size of a house was falling.

No.404 couldn’t even dare to escape from the attack of the demon that was incomparably younger than the first.

Then No. 808 stepped forward.

And he exploded the power he had accumulated throughout his life.

-Nature will reject evil!

Flash!

with dazzling blue flashes.

A miracle happened.

The magic arrow fired by No.808 pierced the demon’s head.

– Aww!

The demon collapsed with a scream of pain that seemed to shatter the sky.

Rush!

The ants flocked to him and worshiped No.808, bumping their antennae together, saying that he was also a great sage.

“Subjugating evil spirits! After all, you are a wise man!”

“Haha, you did a great job. Even His Majesty the Emperor will be delighted! Maybe you’ll share some of the saintess’ meat you’ll get from this expedition!”

“Congratulations, wise man!”

However, No.808’s complexion was bluish.

No.808 looked up at the open ceiling of the hunting ground with despairing eyes.

“Unbelievable! The power I’ve accumulated throughout my life doesn’t work at all!”

A terrible fear was engraved in the eyes of the old man, who was full of wisdom and faith.

No.808 opened its snout at its comrades.

“Everyone runs away…!”

But his words did not follow.

– These damn ant cubs!

Kurrureung!

With a scream that seemed to overturn the heavens and the earth.

Whoops!

A huge fist hit them like a meteorite.

It wasn’t just a demon.

He was an evil god who could destroy a country with a single punch.

Looking at it covering itself, No. 808 sighed with a face mixed with despair and awe.

“Oh, cruel and mighty god…”

Kwak-kwak-kwak!

Knock! Knock! Knock!

[ I am the sole god of the cruel slayer. (Edit) ]

6.

Tring! Tring!

[No.404 has exploded!]

[No.808 has exploded!]

[No.809 has exploded!]

……

Messages from the cellphone I hit with my fist rang endlessly.

Drops of blood trickled down from my slightly torn forehead.

But I’m worried about something other than the wound.

I was surprised and angry at the fact that I was attacked by an ant, so I hit it with my fist…

My cell phone screen is safe, right?

“phew.”

Fortunately, he was unharmed.

Even though it was a little expensive, it was good to put a protective film on it.

It seems that the fist of the unscrupulous artist does not make a single scratch.

But the ants, on the other hand, were shattered and left no trace.

“But how did these ants attack me?”

It’s full of things that can’t be understood by common sense.

Well, it’s far from common sense from the fact that a coin pops out for killing an ant on a cell phone in the first place.

Clink!

Clink!

Clink!

At the same time as I thought, coins poured out of my phone.

At most, he had killed a dozen or so, but the amount of these coins seemed to be in the hundreds.

But my surprise didn’t end there.

Tring!

[The unknown god’s karma has reached 1000!]

[Congratulations. You’ve won the evil god title!]

“It’s a title.”

It’s really like a game.

I clicked on the title text that popped up in the message window just in case.

support position!

Then, along with a strange noise, the screen switched and the title description window popped up.

[Cruel Slayer (F)]

– This title is given when Karma (bad karma) is over 1000.

-As a title effect, the battle luck of ‘Unknown God’ increases.

‘Those who walk the path of evil, use battle as food to grow into a true evil god.’

It is a title that is created only when Karma is over 1000.

well so far so good

However, the title description was a bit funny.

To grow into a true evil god by taking advantage of battle luck as food.

What kind of cartoon fighting people am I!

Tsutsutsutsu!

At that time, the copper coins spilled on the floor began to coalesce.

Gura coins from God Maker are combined in units of 100.

After a while, the countless coins disappeared, leaving four Guracoins engraved with 100 and dozens of Guracoins with 1 denomination.

Then, among the coins, a shiny thing caught my eye.

“What is this again?”

It was a greenish ring.

A small ring so small that I wish I could wear it on my pinky finger.

At the unusual brilliance, I looked closely to see if it was a jewel, but it was just a wooden ring.

“Sniff sniff oh the scent kills.”

As if standing in the middle of a forest, the ring smelled of refreshing phytoncide.

Just smelling it made me feel like my head was clear.

It was a time when I was looking at the ring in my hand for a long time because it was amazing.

Tring!

[Blind God’s Eye] Inherent power is activated.

Appraise the ring…

Appraisal successful!

“uh? emotion?”

A text appeared in my field of vision along with a message that a unique ability had been activated in Godmaker.

[Druid’s Ring]

– This is the ring that No.808 carried throughout his life, and contains the life of the forest.

Special Note: Good for increasing attribute power.

No. If it was 808, it must have been the strange ant that sent the mass beam.

anyway it’s amazing

can you feel

Is this possible because it is an item made by God Maker?

Or can it be used in everyday life?

As a test, I focused my attention on the objects in the room.

Just in case, let’s stare at it for a long time until it seems like our eyes will fall out.

[Blind God’s Eye] Inherent power is activated.

Appraisal succeeded!

“oh! done!”

Along with the God Maker’s notification, a text appeared in my field of vision.

Tring!

[One God’s TV]

– It’s a one God TV. Been using it for 1 year.

Special note: There are 8 months left in installments.

[Ilshin’s Notebook]

-It’s the only god’s notebook. I have been using it for 1 year and 2 months.

Special note: There are 6 months left in installments.

[The single god’s bed]

-It’s the only god’s bed. It is an old bed that has been used for over 10 years.

Special note: I’d rather stop.

…Let’s stop.

Well, actually, the items in this room are mine, so it’s just a reconfirmation of what I know anyway.

But what if this is the ability to read other people’s information?

At least, it must be an ability that surpasses the G-class, which is the ability level I received.

OK, I’ll try it outside sometime.

But right now, this ring in my hand comes first.

“It’s a Druid’s ring. It’s very small anyway.”

I tried to wear it once as a test, but it was too small and did not fit my fingers well.

The limit was barely reaching the tip of the pinky finger.

Ssssss!

Then, a refreshing energy permeated and vitality began to circulate throughout the body.

“uh? what?”

The body is as light as a feather.

In addition, the pain in my neck and shoulders, which were usually stiff from chronic fatigue and stress, disappeared like a lie.

“oh my god!”

***

As soon as the day dawned, I went to the [Paranormal Phenomenon Center] with a swollen heart.

It was the first place I visited thinking I had awakened my superpower.

At that time, the short-haired female civil servant who made the G-class judgment said in a businesslike tone.

“So you want to be retested?”

“Yes, it is.”

My ability is only G-level?

Even if you think about it common sense, it doesn’t make sense.

Aside from my emotional skill, my ability to create a ring that energizes my whole body when worn in my hand like this can’t be G-class.

A female civil servant stared at me, sighed, and handed me a wet tissue.

“Please clean up.”

“thank you.”

The traces of pigeon poop remaining on my head, the coffee stains on my T-shirt spilled by a passerby on the road, and even the pants with chewing gum attached to the subway seat.

My journey to get here has not been smooth.

Normally, I wasn’t on the lucky side, but after getting the evil god title [Cruel Slayer], it seems that I’m even less fortunate.

Maybe it’s because of the mood?

The female civil servant glanced at me with frowning eyes while she was wiping her hair with a wet tissue.

“There is less than a 1% chance that the test is an error. Do you really want a retest?”

“yes!”

I shouted loudly.

She let out a small sigh with a look on her face that said that there are definitely people like this who are indulged in self-confidence.

“If so, I can’t do it. As you know, the first inspection is supported by the government, but it is different after that. You will be charged.”

“how much is it?”

“It is 1.58 million won. sir. You just have to pay in advance and wait in front of the examination room over there. How can I pay? cash? card?”

“….”

More filthy expensive.

I said I would think about it for a moment and sat down on a chair in the waiting room.

I was thinking of paying with a credit card, but the bank account balance of only 200,000 won flickered in front of my eyes.

I should have searched for it and come back.

I looked at the druid’s ring in my hand.

‘I’ll do it later.’

Well, if you don’t test right away, you won’t lose your ability.

Besides, it’s not easy to succeed as a hunter unless it’s at least B grade, but no matter how much I think about it, my ability doesn’t seem to be that far.

From grade B onwards, it’s a realm that humans think is a miracle.

People with B-class or higher abilities are those who can lift cars with their bare hands or blow sparks like a flamethrower.

If you think of them as a standard, no matter how good my ability is, it will be difficult to exceed D-class.

Do a retest next time you have time.

Well, it was a bit of a breather when I received the down payment because this new work went well.

‘Anyway, there are a lot of people.’
