Chapter 4
The Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.
Where the Goblin Chieftain had been dragged after crying out “Heavenly Demon Eternal; Ten Thousand Demons Prostrate in Reverence” and submitting.
Once he’d actually brought him here, though—
The wind went out of his sails a bit when he learned the function only unlocked at Level 5.
‘Well, let’s see what we’ve got.’
Yi Gang-han surveyed the newly appeared Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.
[Hall of Ten Thousand Demons]
The dwelling of the ten thousand demons who have prostrated before the Heavenly Demon.
The player’s rank is too low; the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons cannot function at its full capacity.
Current occupants – 1/10,000
A new screen appeared beside the chat window.
Against a pitch-black background,
A goblin shrunken to SD character size shuffled about with a scowl on its face.
‘That must be the Goblin Chieftain, then.’
Tap.
Yi Gang-han poked at it.
[Subdued Goblin Chieftain]
[Status: Confusion, Fear, Despair, Recovering……]
Only information related to the goblin’s condition appeared.
Nothing much to see.
As Yi Gang-han thought this,
Whoosh.
[Summon]
[Reverence]
[Banishment]
Below the Goblin Chieftain,
Three clickable options appeared.
‘Oh. So I can summon it too.’
Yi Gang-han was about to test the Summon function right away,
But first clicked on Reverence in the middle.
And then—
Swish. Swish.
The Goblin Chieftain, who had been alone in the dim background shaking its head back and forth,
Suddenly began to bow.
[You have received reverence from an entity in the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.]
[The cooldown of the skill ‘Heavenly Demon Divine Art’ has been reduced.]
When he’d first subdued the boss monster, there had been all sorts of effects,
But it seemed that when a monster in the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons showed reverence, all he got was a cooldown reduction.
‘Wonder how much it dropped.’
Yi Gang-han opened his skill window to check the Heavenly Demon Divine Art.
[Heavenly Demon Divine Art – Initiate]
The divine art of the Heavenly Demon.
Drawing forth all the power of the Heavenly Demon, it manifests the force of demons that pierces the heavens.
Only those possessing the Heavenly Demon Body can use this skill.
Your compatibility with the Heavenly Demon Body is 90% or higher.
Even during the Heavenly Demon Divine Art’s cooldown period, you may always draw upon 10% of its power.
This is the initiate stage.
Skill duration is extremely short.
Cooldown is 24 hours.
Skill Duration: 10 minutes
Cooldown: 22:09:43
Auto-set: On
The description for the Heavenly Demon Divine Art was quite lengthy.
In short: activating the skill grants immense power for 10 minutes,
And the cooldown is 24 hours.
What’s more, because Yi Gang-han and the Heavenly Demon Body were so well-matched,
He could draw on 10% of its power even during cooldown, which seemed quite useful.
‘I could’ve sworn it was 95% compatibility.’
The way the goblin’s head had burst like balloons one after another—the Heavenly Demon Divine Art surely played a part in that.
The body-related stats showing 10+ seemed connected to the Heavenly Demon Divine Art.
Yi Gang-han ran through the skill descriptions related to the Heavenly Demon Divine Art,
‘Thanks to auto-settings, I beat the Goblin Chieftain easily. Time to turn it off.’
He switched auto-settings to Off and calculated the time elapsed.
The cooldown had roughly 22 hours and 10 minutes remaining.
‘That means about 1 hour and 50 minutes have passed since I used the Heavenly Demon Divine Art.’
If he compared that to the actual time that had passed here,
he could calculate how much the Reverence effect reduced cooldown.
Yi Gang-han glanced at the chat window.
“How much time has passed so far?”
-1 hour 45 minutes elapsed
-Wow, but you’re about to clear floor 4 in just 1 hour 45 minutes? That’s crazy ㄷㄷ
So Reverence in the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons reduces cooldown by about 5 minutes.
‘A bit disappointing.’
Click.
Yi Gang-han tried pressing Reverence once more,
[You have already offered Reverence to this being.]
[Cooldown: 23:59:30]
but the Reverence effect did not stack.
Only the cooldown message appeared.
‘I’ll need to gather more monsters in the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons to see the real effect.’
As Yi Gang-han tested the newly unlocked Hall of Ten Thousand Demons function, he stood motionless.
-But why aren’t you going up? You’d be first place right now
-Seriously why are you just standing there like an idiot in front of the portal
-Man, if you keep slacking off like this someone’s gonna steal first place;
-Nah we’re good lol. That first-place guy is running out of arrows and struggling hard
-While everyone else is playing survival mode, you’re just massacring lol
The chat window was flooded with questions about why he wasn’t moving forward.
Now that he thought about it,
‘These people called me a liar, didn’t they?’
Of course they’d made their judgment based on ‘common sense,’
but he couldn’t let himself become known as some pathological liar.
Yi Gang-han broke into a wry smile.
“Hold on just a second. I’m going to show you something fun.”
-Something fun?
-There’s no monsters, how are you gonna show us anything?
At first, the viewers had even mistaken him for a mage since he lacked equipment,
but after seeing him beat down goblins, they were certain he was a warrior-class fighter.
But in the current situation with no enemies,
how exactly was he going to show them something entertaining?
The viewers voiced their confusion,
but then—click.
Yi Gang-han pressed [Summon],
and a brilliant flash erupted—
A crimson portal tore open behind his back.
-?????
-What the heck???
-Wasn’t this guy a warrior?
The viewers couldn’t believe their own eyes.
And then,
the Castrated Goblin Chieftain walked out of that portal.
-Uh? What is that…
-Is that a eunuch goblin or something???
-Holy crap ㄷㄷㄷ
-This guy’s insane lolololol
-Wait so you actually captured it???
The chat erupted into a frenzy of responses.
* * *
The Castrated Goblin Chieftain.
Among the tutorial bosses that emerge from the Beginner’s Tower, it ranked among the strongest.
Beginners are subdued, but not killed outright.
Instead, they’re torn to pieces, eaten alive piece by piece, made to suffer until death finally comes.
It’s designed to make players abandon the Beginner’s Tower.
It was infamous as the boss with the worst survival rate.
Yet that very boss—
Thump! Thump!
The moment it emerged from the portal, it threw itself prostrate before Yi Gang-han.
-Wait, is this real footage? Deepfake?
-How would they air a deepfake on TowerTube? It’s live broadcast.
-This is insane lmao
-So the arsenal thing wasn’t a lie after all…
-We totally called him a liar for nothing lol
At the Goblin Chieftain’s submission,
the viewers realized that roughly half
of what Yi Gang-han had claimed until now was actually true.
Still,
-But then is the thing about getting muscles just from sleeping actually real???
-Nah that’s gotta be cap lol
-Like even with steroids your muscles won’t grow without stimulation right?
The claim about gaining muscle from sleep alone
still had no believers.
It made no physiological sense, after all.
“Actually, I work out three hours every day.”
It was only when Yi Gang-han told this well-intentioned lie
-Ah that makes sense lol
-That’s the kind of dedication needed for muscle like that
-Finally being honest now huh
that people actually trusted him.
Meanwhile,
the Goblin Chieftain, having bowed but receiving no response from Yi Gang-han,
rolled his eyes briefly before
“Heavenly Demon Eternal; Ten Thousand Demons Prostrate in Reverence!”
using the chant he’d learned moments ago, bowing once more.
“Hey, that’s enough. Stop it.”
“Is… is that really all right?”
“Yeah. The bow has a cooldown anyway—once a day. No point doing it more than that.”
“I see. Understood.”
The Goblin Chieftain nodded at Yi Gang-han’s words.
“So you want to head back? I’ve proven my innocence, after all.”
“Back into… that darkness, you mean?”
“Yeah.”
At that, the Goblin Chieftain’s face went pale.
“I, I can fight well! I don’t mind taking arrows, so please—please let me fight! Anything but that place, I beg you!”
“The Hall of Ten Thousand Demons? What’s wrong with it?”
“P-please spare me… not that place, I’m begging you…!”
I’d thought to hear out the complaints of a Hall of Ten Thousand Demons resident,
but the chieftain—trembling violently—was appealing with his entire body that he didn’t want to go back.
-Why’s he so scared lmao
-Fake? That’s crazy, doesn’t look like the cannibal bastard from before
-Now that you mention it, he only has one horn
-But what’s this Heavenly Demon Eternal; Ten Thousand Demons Prostrate in Reverence
-Sounds like it means something like “May the Heavenly Demon’s reign be eternal; all ten thousand demons bow before him”
-That’s a worship chant isn’t it?
The Goblin Chieftain’s words, auto-translated into Korean,
were heard clearly by the viewers, who then
began parsing out the meaning.
“Oh… that’s what it meant?”
And seeing this, Yi Gang-han finally understood the meaning of Heavenly Demon Eternal; Ten Thousand Demons Prostrate in Reverence.
“I thought it was a super move because the name was so long, but it was just a reverence chant.”
-You mistook it for a finishing move lmao
—Eight characters is practically an ultimate-tier skill, really.
—I mean, anyone who watches martial arts know it at a glance…
—But wait, are you a Heavenly Demon? Why do you have a skill like that?
Yi Gang-han shrugged at the question of whether he was a Heavenly Demon.
“Couldn’t say?”
The Goblin Chieftain had shouted the Heavenly Demon Eternal; Ten Thousand Demons Prostrate in Reverence, so the connection to the Heavenly Demon was certainly made clear.
But there was no need to spill all his information.
Yi Gang-han laughed and brushed past the question.
—Come on, reveal your traits
—We’ll calculate your salary for you
—Pretty sure there are guild officials watching lol
—100% there are, wouldn’t there be international scouts too?
—Those guys will be googling what a Heavenly Demon even is hahaha
—I didn’t know either so I searched it and some herbal medicine popped up? Is it a medicinal ingredient?
—Ugh please, Koreans should at least know what a Heavenly Demon is…
The chat window erupted with demands to reveal his traits.
“All right, all right, everyone—let’s head to the next floor as you wish.”
But Yi Gang-han lightly brushed aside such requests.
He stepped through the portal and climbed to the fifth floor.
Then.
Crack—crack—crack……!
His rank shot from eighth to first.
—Finally got first place though lol
—This guy should go play a different game by himself…
—Watching the original 1st place guy fooling around with goblins right now is hilarious
—Real talk, he doesn’t even belong in this tower lol
Among Korea’s ten thousand newest players,
Yi Gang-han, who had reached the fifth floor first,
said, “Shall we see how well our Chieftain fights?”
and let the Goblin Chieftain take the vanguard as he pleased.
Then.
Thud-thud.
“Shrieeek! Shriek shriek shreee—eek!”
The Chieftain, rather than breaking through the goblin defensive line,
began shouting something at the goblins.
Then.
“Shreee—eek……!”
“Shriek shriek!”
The goblins dropped their defensive stance
and began talking to one another.
Soon some of them drew their weapons,
“Shreee—eek!”
and started fighting each other.
—Why are they fighting each other?
—No idea, they just keep shrieking…
—Wait, wasn’t the Chieftain’s speech supposed to auto-translate to Korean?
—Guess the auto-translation doesn’t work when they talk among themselves
—Some monsters do auto-translate though, that’s weird… can’t figure out the pattern lol
—The strong mobs get translated haha
The viewers, seeing civil unrest break out among the goblin ranks,
couldn’t understand why it was happening,
‘But now that I’ve summoned the Goblin Chieftain, I can understand what the goblins are saying.’
Yi Gang-han, watching from a distance,
understood exactly what the goblins’ shrieks meant.
—You fools! Come back under my command!
—Chieftain? Let’s join the Chieftain!
—To hell with the Chieftain! We have to defend this place!
Roughly this sort of argument unfolded,
with the “go to the Chieftain” faction and the “defend this position” faction locked in battle.
Meanwhile.
Crunch-crunch-crunch.
Watching this, the Goblin Chieftain gnashed his teeth.
“Heavenly Demon… may I join in and clean up?”
He addressed Yi Gang-han as the Heavenly Demon.
He wanted to throw himself into that chaotic battlefield.
“Yeah. Go ahead.”
Yi Gang-han was curious: just how much power could the Goblin Chieftain of the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons exert compared to his original might?
So when Yi Gang-han readily granted him the vanguard, the Chieftain leapt forward.
“Thank you!”
The Goblin Chieftain’s face brightened as he threw himself into the defensive formation.
Boom! Boom!
A massive frame standing two meters tall crashed into the goblin defensive line.
He butchered the goblins who refused to obey his command.
-Wait, that bastard’s still got it?
-Still strong as hell lmao
-How’d a level 1 suppress that thing?? ㄷㄷ
The viewers realized the neutered Goblin Chieftain’s power remained unchanged from before.
Goblins scattered like autumn leaves before a storm.
And in the midst of this, the Chieftain seemed to have found his confidence again.
“Kyehehe! Death to traitors!”
He hauled a subdued goblin along while carving off strips of flesh with his blade and eating them raw.
-Ugh the raw meat eating PTSD brought it all back ;;;
-I got an A-grade trait from that thing and quit the game bcuz of this ㅅㅂ
-Wait you got A-grade and quit anyway?? lmaooo
-ㅅㅂ that long tongue of his licking and lapping at my wounds, I still see it in my nightmares, that sensation
-That’s the newbie crusher right there lmao
Viewers watching the Goblin Chieftain’s actions spoke of the trauma it had inflicted.
The Chieftain, dragging along the traitorous goblin and tearing flesh from its body like that—
He looked absolutely mad.
‘At least he’s clearing a path.’
This Summon.
Might be more useful than expected.
Yi Gang-han didn’t even swing the wooden stick once.
He simply walked straight down the path the Goblin Chieftain had carved open.
[‘Beginner’s Tower’ Floor 5 cleared.]
[Advancing to the next stage.]
[‘Beginner’s Tower’ Floor 6 cleared.]
[Advancing to the next stage.]
.
.
.
[‘Beginner’s Tower’ Floor 9 cleared.]
[Reaching the final floor, Floor 10.]
And by the time he
reached Floor 10, the final stage of the Beginner’s Tower,
“Kee-eek. Kee-eek!”
“Kee-eek! Click! Click!”
Behind him were not just the neutered Goblin Chieftain,
but some fifty common goblins following along as well.
