Skill Devouring to the 666th Floor Episode 110
110. First Meeting with the Supporter Party
Exactly one month after sinkholes erupted across the entire world.
[Apostle contract period has expired.]
[Transcendent Spirits can no longer contract with Apostles.]
A message emphasizing the importance of Apostles echoed throughout all of humanity.
“Th-this means…”
“Doesn’t this mean the number of Apostles won’t increase anymore?”
“Ah… I’m so envious. I wish I had become an Apostle…”
Due to this message, the value of Apostles rose even higher, and the importance of guilds also grew.
Guilds were fundamentally groups that operated on party play as their foundation.
Perhaps because of this.
【Yellow Dragon Guild is recruiting Apostles!】
【Industry’s best! Perfect care guaranteed! Sunshine Guild, recruiting guild members!】
【Safety is our top priority. Safe Party Guild recruiting Apostles!】
The Transcendence Net was flooded with such Apostle recruitment posts.
However.
[Notice][Author: Amon]
【Title: Spam posts will be deleted without warning.】
Thanks to Amon’s notice, the bulletin board was kept relatively clean.
“I should join a guild too. Which one should I go with?”
Jason, who had been browsing the Transcendence Net for a moment.
“Nah, let’s stop these random thoughts. Today is that day, after all.”
He sighed and returned to training.
Swoosh! Swish swish swoosh!
He was training his spear arts, trying hard to recall the techniques Amon had taught him.
“Hey, Jason.”
Joshua was approaching with a smile.
“Working hard today too?”
“Yeah. I have to always work hard.”
Jason moved his spear toward an imaginary enemy again.
Joshua clicked his tongue at his friend’s appearance.
“Somehow it seems like you’ve been more dedicated since meeting Lord Amon last time?”
“Since I became his disciple, I need to have skills worthy of that, right?”
“Rather than that, aren’t you doing this to make a good impression?”
Flinch—
Joshua didn’t miss it.
Jason’s spear shaft had wavered in the air for a moment.
“Wh-who am I trying to impress? Me?”
“Who else. Those supporters, right?”
“…”
The three supporters that Amon had introduced.
Jason, who had to become the leader of that party.
Although he had readily agreed to do it, it was certainly burdensome.
“You’re working harder than usual to show your best side, right?”
“…I can’t have any embarrassing situations.”
When he first heard that his party members would be women, Jason had frozen.
In his life, the only female creature he knew was his mother.
‘C-can I do well?’
Worry was indeed at the forefront.
When was the last time he had a proper conversation with a woman? A few years ago?
Moreover, the party members he had seen through ViewTube videos were all exceptionally beautiful.
Just as Asians could recognize pretty Westerners, Jason had an eye for beauty too.
“They’re all celebrity-level, and one of them is actually a famous celebrity in Korea. Will you be okay?”
“I-I’ll be fine, of course. You think I’ll mess up?”
“This guy is already stuttering. Keke.”
Joshua found this situation amusing and just smiled mischievously.
‘Damn it. Is watching someone else’s house burn down that entertaining? Someone’s insides are burning up here.’
Soon it would be time to board the flight to Korea.
He had promised to meet them as soon as he arrived in Korea.
“Stop training and get ready to go. At least you shouldn’t smell like sweat.”
“Ah, mind your own business! I’ll handle it myself.”
“So sensitive. Keke.”
[Passengers, our aircraft will soon arrive at Incheon International Airport…]
Jason finally arrived in Korea.
Joshua was with him as well.
Since Joshua knew Korean geography better and they also needed to receive E-grade magic stones from Amon, they came together for both purposes.
“This is your first time in Korea, right?”
“Yeah. It’s quite a developed country, isn’t it?”
This was just a temporary visit for now, but later he would have to settle down here.
He hoped the convenience would be good in terms of long-term residence, and it seemed he didn’t need to worry about that.
Soon after, a welcome face met them at the airport.
“You’ve arrived.”
“Am… Tae Seong!”
Jason quickly changed his words after almost saying Amon.
He would rather call him master, but he had to hold back since Tae Seong disliked it.
“Was there any inconvenience on your way here?”
“Not at all. Thanks to having a rich friend, I came comfortably in first class.”
“Look at you being modest. You’re rich too.”
“Haha, shall we talk while we go?”
The three people traveled by car.
Tae Seong, who knew the geography well, took the wheel.
“There’s something you need to know on the way.”
“Yes, Tae Seong. What is it?”
Jason, who asked without thinking, soon couldn’t help but be surprised.
“The supporters don’t know that I’m Amon.”
“What? They don’t know?”
“They know that Amon supports them from behind, but they don’t know the actual identity.”
“Then how did you meet and talk with them?”
“I disguised myself as someone else.”
“What?”
“Watch carefully.”
As if to show them while he was at it, Tae Seong pointed to his own face.
Soon after.
“Gasp!”
“Th-the face…”
It changed into a different person.
Even seeing it with their own eyes, they couldn’t believe it.
“There’s a skill that changes faces like this.”
“Wow…”
“Holy…”
Both Joshua and Jason’s eyes widened.
They were more surprised than when he used the stealth skill.
“This face’s name is Kang Hee Seong, and I always maintain this face when meeting them. When introducing myself, I only explained that I was a messenger delivering Amon’s words.”
“Ah…”
“But may I ask why you hid your identity…?”
At Jason’s question, Tae Seong said.
“I thought they would feel burdened if I revealed I was Amon.”
“Ah…”
The two people nodded in understanding.
That made sense.
Wouldn’t having a representative step forward be less burdensome than Amon appearing directly?
“We’re almost there.”
Jason couldn’t help but feel nervous inside at the mention of arrival.
‘Phew, I was surprised by the sudden question.’
Inwardly sighing in relief, I looked at the two people through the mirror while driving.
Fortunately, they didn’t seem suspicious.
The reason about feeling burdened seemed to work.
Actually, there was another reason for not revealing that I was Amon.
‘I’m afraid of losing Park Se Hee.’
In the past, Park Se Hee had asked me to kill her.
A choice made because she could no longer endure the pain of life.
But I couldn’t bring myself to kill her, and I failed to save her.
That’s why I’m trying to keep my distance.
‘If I approach her as Amon, she might get hurt even more.’
Showing the camouflage technique to Jason and Joshua was also for this reason.
To pretend together and match our stories, I had no choice but to tell them the truth to some extent.
“We’re almost there.”
Soon we arrived at the promised cafe, and I led the two people inside.
Of course, while maintaining Kang Hee Seong’s appearance.
“Ah! There he comes.”
“Over here!”
The supporters who spotted me wave their hands.
Park Se Hee, Han So Ra, Seo Mina.
They all have bright expressions.
Unlike someone else.
“Don’t be too nervous. I’m here with you.”
“Ah… yes.”
After whispering to Jason in English, I introduced him in front of them.
“Remember I said I’d add a party member before? This is that person.”
“Ah… he’s handsome.”
“Someone try talking to him. So Ra unnie, do you know English?”
“I, I can’t.”
“What about Se Hee unnie?”
Park Se Hee would know how.
“I’ll do it. Nice to meet you. I’m Park Se Hee.”
Park Se Hee introduces herself to Jason in English first, extending her hand.
He only nods and doesn’t take her hand.
Why is he being so shy?
This is the same person who thrust his spear at me without hesitation during our duel.
“Jason. Please introduce yourself.”
“Ah… you are Jason Potter from America.”
“Huh? You are…?”
“Oh, my, my mistake. Ahem…”
Joshua beside him squeezed his eyes shut and held his forehead.
A future villain getting embarrassed in front of women…
This is an unexpected variable I never considered.
“Who is the person next to him?”
I answered Park Se Hee’s question instead.
“Joshua Everett, Jason’s friend. He’s skilled enough to have reached the 45th Floor.”
“What? The 45th Floor?”
“Huh…”
“Wow…”
Everyone who heard my words was surprised.
They haven’t even reached the 20th Floor yet.
“We just cleared the 17th Floor.”
“Did you see the video? If you search ‘Support’s Labyrinth Strategy’ on ViewTube, it comes up.”
“Oh, but you should order drinks first.”
“Since you came to Korea, we’ll pay!”
“That’s right! We’re making money now. Our ViewTube subscriber count already hit 500,000!”
They talk non-stop.
It’s a bit overwhelming.
‘Hmm… will Jason be able to adapt well among them?’
When I glanced over, Jason was frozen stiff.
Even though they’re foreigners from Jason’s perspective, women are still women, I guess.
After everyone ordered their drinks, the chatter started again at the table.
“Ask unnie how many floors Jason has cleared.”
“Got it. Jason?”
“Yes?!”
“Why are you so surprised?”
“Oh, no. Hahahaha!”
“Huh? Why is he laughing?”
“Unnie, why is he laughing?”
“…”
Hmm, this won’t work.
I need to act as an interpreter in the middle.
“If you have something to say, tell me. I’ll ask everything for you.”
“Ah, we’re curious about Jason’s cleared floors…”
“He’s currently stopped at the 20th Floor. When you reach the 20th Floor, he’ll join as a party then.”
“Oh, did he stop clearing because of us?”
“That’s right. But don’t feel sorry about it. Jason wants to party with you too.”
“Really?”
“We don’t know if we’ll be helpful, but… let’s work hard together.”
I interpreted their words to Jason.
“Oh… thank you for the encouragement. Fighting.”
Jason also began to open up little by little.
“We’re curious about each other’s skills, ah, can you tell us?”
“They’re curious about your skills.”
“Ah, ours?”
“I’ll explain this!”
As I interpreted between them and they exchanged conversation.
‘Should I gradually bring up the main topic?’
I brought up the topic I wanted to discuss at an appropriate timing.
“Amon is planning to create a guild.”
“Ah… Really? What?”
“A, a guild?”
“I mean a raid party. One that only conquers the Labyrinth.”
“I know! That’s the thing from games. I’ve played so many games.”
Seo Mina shouted confidently, and I nodded.
“Right. Amon says he wants to create a guild, and he wants to invite you as founding guild members. What do you think? What are your thoughts?”
“Us? There’s no need to even ask.”
“Of course we should join, right? Who formed this party anyway.”
“It would be an honor for us.”
The support members readily agreed.
“Jason, Joshua. What about you two?”
“Ah… Us too, with Amon?”
“Yes. I was told he wants you to become guild members.”
The two didn’t panic at my acting and played along.
“We’re definitely okay with it too.”
“Amon’s guild. That sounds amazing.”
“But what’s the guild name?”
At Seo Mina’s question, I answered immediately.
“Amon Guild.”
“What?”
“The guild you’ll be joining is Amon Guild.”
