I Became a Level -99 Vicious Lord

Chapter 2



Chapter 2

My legs went limp and I nearly collapsed.

A cold sweat trickled down my spine, and the hairs on my body stood on end.

Thump, thump, thump!

My heart was beating like never before, and my legs were shaking.

I had never been so close to death in my life, and this situation was not easy to handle.

BANGG!

Just then, two knights and four servants heard the chandelier fall and rushed over.

Are you injured?

Are you all right?

But none of them actually came closer to check on me.

Why?

Because they were afraid of incurring his wrath.

Otto de Scuderia was a man of such a trashy character that the word tyrant doesnt even begin to describe him.

If anyone offended him, hed slap them in the face.

If he gets the slightest bit angry, hell start whipping you.

On top of that, once or twice a month, Im forced to see blood.

For example putting a gardener in a box full of bees to be stung to death because he was stung while walking in the garden.

Or cutting off both the wrists of a barber who made a mistake while giving him a shave.

But thats just the tip of the iceberg.

Ottos list of evils and misdeeds is so long, it hurts to mention them all.

So much so that even those closest to him are forced to look the other way.

Isnt that a good thing?

You get what you deserve.

There were many people in the manor who held a grudge against this character.

That being said.

There are enemies everywhere. Lets stay alert.

I tried to hold on to my spirit.

Even if its not necessarily because of the Curse of Wretched Bastard, this character is a candle in front of the wind.

You never know. When, where, how, or by whom he will be stabbed..

my lord.

One of the knights asked cautiously.

Are you all right, and are you injured anywhere?

No, Im fine.

Yes?

Thank you for your concern.

The moment.

Eh, Ehhhh?!

The knight who had asked me if I was okay looked as if he had seen a ghost.

The response from the others was no different.

I guess its because its not the reaction they were expecting.

I couldnt help but laugh bitterly.

What a rubbish life Otto had led.

M-my lord.

The knight asked again.

Shall I find the man who installed the chandelier and have him beheaded, or shall I cut off the limbs of the janitor who cleaned the ceiling.

You dont have to do that, never do that. Never.

Yes? Then what about.

You dont have to punish anyone, its not a big deal Just let it go, I need to rest.

I rummaged through my memories and stumbled towards Ottos bedroom.

I need to calm down and collect my thoughts.

He desperately needed time alone right now.

* * *

Shortly after the lord, Otto, left the room.

He is not angry?

Did he say Thank you? Did I imagine him saying something like that?

Isnt it normal to yell and kick our arse?

They were confused by the sudden change in their lords demeanor.

Hush. Watch your mouth.

The knight who had questioned Otto with his bayonet warned them.

You dont know when the lords anger will explode, so watch your mouths. Have you forgotten, if youre unlucky, your head will be blown off?

Their mouths clamped shut, frightened.

Even the devil can get away with it for a day or so.

Yeah, for a day.

* * *

A few days passed.

I got out of bed and looked in the mirror.

The gamer Kim Do-jin was nowhere to be seen.

Instead, a blond, handsome man.

The only Otto de Scuderia, one of the 100 lords in the game Territory War.

Lets get used to it. Its no big deal.

In despair, I decided to just accept the situation for what it was.

Was I adapting too quickly?

Yes, its too short a time to accept this unbelievable situation.

But I dont have time for this.

Ive played Otto more times than I can count, and Im a genius, who has finally found an optimized build.

I knew all too well that my future was not bright.

Public opinion is vicious, finances are on the brink of collapse. No one can be trusted. Moreover, there are more than a truckload of people who have a grudge against me. I need to keep my head on straight.

Im glad I cleared the game as Otto.

I straightened my clothes and took a deep breath.

I just need to do what Ive been doing. Everything Ive researched, unlocking the builds Ive optimized.

I calmly organized my thoughts.

What to do first.

Ignore the level, obviously.

The concept of leveling up is something that works for other characters, but not for Otto.

-Level 99 How can you even level up this?

Realistically, the idea of leveling up to do something is the wrong way to approach an Otto.

Otto doesnt need to level up at all until a certain point in time.

First things first.

Ottos early game was all about appeasing the people and removing the seeds of rebellion.

The Lota Estate is a ticking time bomb.

Theres no telling when the accumulated discontent of the people and vassals will rise up.

Even the smallest, most insignificant mistake could lead to an immediate rebellion.

And when they do?

The End.

Ill be arrested, guillotined by angry rebels.

And my decapitated head will be hung over the city gates.

To avoid that, my first priority is to appease the angry populace.

Is it time for the meeting?

On the Lota Estate, a meeting is held every morning, with the lord presiding.

Of course, this character hasnt attended a meeting in years, but.

Lets go.

He quickly left the bedroom.

My lord?

The guards guarding the front of the bedroom called out after him in surprise.

* * *

The lordship is coming.

The servant announced Ottos entrance.

What did you say just now?

I see I am not yet awake.

The subjects before him frowned at the tone of the servants voice, as if they couldnt believe the bullshit.

The last time the lord had attended a meeting was three years ago.

Its hard to believe that such a man would walk into a meeting so early in the morning.

And yet it had happened!

What the.

My lord attending a morning meeting?

Subjects doubted their eyes.

The man who wouldnt even attend a meeting even on the day this estate was destroyed, would actually show up this early in the morning.

Where is the wind blowing today?

The young knight, Camille, narrowed his eyes. He felt uneasy at Ottos appearance.

Whats on the agenda today?

Otto spoke up from his seat on the throne.

What is he cooking? Since the morning.?

Whats with him? I heard reports that hes been locked in his bedroom for days and hasnt moved.

Confused servants.

Why do you suddenly ask that?

Camille asked Otto.

The lord wants to know the agenda for the meeting, do I need a reason?

Its.

Camilles voice wavered, as if he were trying to protest.

Otto saw right through Camille and smiled bitterly.

Youre curious now. You probably want to yell at me saying, Whats the point?

Camille had every right to say that.

He was an orphan, originally a commoner, who had been raised to the rank of knight by the favor of the previous lord.

Today, he practically ruled Lota on behalf of his lord.

Even so, he was pushed to his limits.

The only one I can trust. But when he turns against me hes the most terrifying character Ive seen.

If public opinion of the estate falls further, the impatient Camille will cut down the lord himself, Otto, and commit suicide.

Killing the lord to whom he has sworn allegiance is the worst thing a knight can do..

Just go ahead. Ill just watch.

Yes.

An uncomfortable meeting begins.

A starvation-weary couple hang themselves with their daughter.

Monster outbreaks in the western region have become more frequent. One of the outposts was attacked during the night, leaving four soldiers dead.

The movements of the Sorun estate have been disturbing. Frequent military exercises have been detected in the area close to our territory.

The situation was dire.

This is terrible.

The current situation in the Lota Estate was exactly as Otto knew it.

This is the situation.

Camille looked back at Otto and said.

Look, this is what your estate looks like.

As if to say

First.

Otto opened his mouth.

Release the reserved foods and distribute it to the starving residents.

The moment.

Distribute food to what?

What did I just hear?

His subjects were confused by Ottos order.

What are you thinking?

Camille asked Otto.

What is the reason for your sudden mercy?

You said the people are starving to death.

Finances are tight. If we release the food now, the estate will go bankrupt.

Peoples lives are more important than bankruptcy. Its like putting a cobweb in the mouth of a mountain.

My lord.

Knight Camille.

Yes, Im here.

Thats an order. Do it.

Orders I will obey.

Then.

No! My lord, that wont do!

Middle-aged men dressed in fancy clothes appeared.
