The Successor of the Underworld is a Cheat Player

The Successor To The Underworld Is A Cheat Player 77

Hmm.

A shining ring.

-Thief.

It was this ring that held the life of a thief.

“I can only manage basic concealment for now.”

Even for a level 30 Sanguinary, not everyone in Sanguinary had a level cap of 30.

-Over Level.

Transcendents like Demorus’ leader, Tejera, with over-level capabilities.

Even in Sanguinary, where one could infinitely surpass the level cap, there were chosen ones who excelled.

-Demons, boss monsters.

Just as there were beings born with power exceeding their level, there were many who possessed strength surpassing the limits of levels in Sanguinary.

Players could face them with the power of reincarnation, special abilities, and past stats, but…

-Ego.

There was also an option to grow stronger with the power of special equipment like Ego.

For Sein, this was the last chance, the final reincarnation of life.

“I must do everything I can.”

Watching Tejera, unmatched by the past, Sein felt the need to push himself further.

“To gain experience even as a thief, I’ll have to endure for a while.”

Ego shares the player’s experience points.

Knowing this made Ego special, yet many players refrained from using it.

For them,

‘Because there was no cheat.’

Even acquiring awakening skills was tough with the Jumadeung, let alone sharing experience points with Ego, which could lead to not gaining awakening skills until the end of one’s life.

However, Sein maximized the abilities of Jumadeung through cheats, making it a real life without limits.

“I should reward you this time.”

In the future, he would actively consider hiring Ego.

A dagger in hand.

Shwick!

The stab felt different from before.

Pang!

Even the sound of arrows shot from a small short bow sounded different.

This was Ego, a special benefit of life.

A Sanguinary system that granted additional effects to abilities related to life.

As Sein smiled satisfactorily after many experiments.

“What’s the matter?”

Sein asked towards the shadow that had suddenly appeared.

Perio, Sein’s loyal follower.

“If I have disturbed you, I apologize sincerely.”

Perio bowed deeply towards Sein as he spoke.

“However, as it was something that needed to take precedence above all else, I committed a breach of etiquette.”

The most prioritized matter in Demorus.

“Sir, a mission has been assigned to you.”

Finally.

“Your first mission.”

The first mission to undertake upon entering the main residence.

It was the beginning of the achievements to be accumulated as a successor candidate.

The Shadow Guild did anything.

As long as it brought them some benefit.

It could be money, power, or anything else.

Especially.

“Oh! Welcome!”

The usual involvement of the Shadow Guild was in conflicts in neutral zones.

From Zone 5 with Lasciel, there were quite a few neutral zones that could be considered within the Empire’s territory.

Those were places that, due to the black-and-white agreement between the Shadow Guild and the Empire in the past, could not be considered as the Shadow Guild’s territory.

However, exerting influence was still possible.

“It’s an honor to have the esteemed Sir visit.”

The Lord of Kamalli in Zone 5 warmly welcomed the Sir.

But the Sir couldn’t help but notice the disappointment hidden in a corner of the Lord’s eyes.

Sigh.

It was expected.

The Sir’s reputation was on the rise.

Rumors about the Sir were spreading in the central region and the Shadow Guild, thanks to the support of Lasciel and Dante.

But no matter how much it was, the Sir was still a candidate.

“You don’t have to pretend to be pleased.”

In the 100-year history of Demorus, there had never been a candidate-born head of the family.

Those who placed their hopes on candidates were mostly opportunists aiming for a reversal of fortune or petty nobles who wouldn’t even consider associating with someone from the main family.

Even the candidates being bound by magical contracts in the mission received from Lasciel was such a case.

What they hoped for was for the candidates to rise to a certain position of responsibility in Demorus, not to become the head of the family.

“If you wanted to see the other siblings, you should have paid more, shouldn’t you?”

“Haha. What are you saying.”

Although he pretended otherwise, the Lord couldn’t hide the discomfort in a corner of his demeanor.

He must be thinking like this.

‘This is why those candidates-born kids are…’

Ignorant ones who hadn’t learned the manners of the main family.

Just mere pawns to glorify the main family.

But nonetheless, becoming a successor candidate was nothing short of a promise of a high position in Demorus.

“I have prepared a party for the Lord.”

Maintaining a friendly relationship with them was something they had nothing to lose from their perspective.

“If the Lord graces us with his presence and brightens the occasion…”

“Bothersome.”

Sein interjected, scratching his ear.

“Derren, Roberta.”

“Yes.”

“Go and check out this party or whatever it is. Sending them should be sufficient, right?”

It seemed like a vein was about to pop on the smiling lord’s forehead.

“But…”

Something that had happened before.

He must have paid a sum of money just to consider attending the party.

“But what ‘buts’ are you talking about? He must have said he didn’t want to go, right?”

Sein now had the authority to ignore it all.

“Well, then, I suppose there’s nothing else to be done.”

The lord eventually retreated.

There might have been many things he wanted to say, but no matter what, a lord from Zone 5 like De Moreus couldn’t afford to provoke a successor candidate from Zone 5.

“Well then, rest comfortably.”

Leaving with a smile until the end, whether that was truly professional or rather pitiful.

Regardless, such matters were not Sein’s concern.

Tsk.

The more they tried to push Sein, the more frustrated they became.

Despite cursing Sein’s impertinence, it was human nature to covet what they couldn’t have.

If one day Sein were to extend a helping hand.

“T-Thank you!”

Bowing deeply, expressing genuine gratitude, that was who they were.

It was a way to elevate their own worth.

“It’s just the beginning, so shall we drive the wedge?”

Glorious achievements.

It would serve as a signal announcing the start of Sein’s succession candidacy.

The task Sein had been given this time was a territorial dispute.

The territory battle between Zone 5’s Carmil and Zone 5’s Tonba.

It was said to begin with a clash of emotions between the two lords.

“According to the information we’ve gathered, the lords of Carmil and Tonba are known to have a deep bond.”

An informant from Othomeo relayed to Sein.

Despite Othomeo’s declining influence, it was said to extend to Zone 5.

While Paluga claimed to be his exclusive gateway, entry into the upper zones was still not permitted.

“I’ll see you soon!”

Was she going through that procedure?

“In reality, there is no reason for the Territory War.”

Sein nodded at the information agent’s words.

“It seems they just wanted to have fun.”

From Zone 5 onwards, a completely different world unfolded.

A region incomparable to the lower zones, with a stable political situation.

That’s why the exhausted Lords occasionally engage in play.

“Yes. This Territory War seems like a game.”

A game played with human lives.

“Moreover, it’s an opportunity to form alliances with the Underworld.”

The Territory War is entertainment.

And the events that unfold during it are politics.

“I feel like we’re in a dog-eat-dog world.”

It was obvious what was to come.

In sync with the start signal from the Lords, they engage in a full-scale battle.

When the soldiers’ blood is spilled and the heat of battle rises.

“It’s time.”

They release the factors of the Underworld they’ve summoned with money and power.

That alone sparks a fight over who has summoned the greater entity.

And once a certain level of battle is reached, they retreat by agreement to determine the outcome.

That’s why this was a true game in essence.

Where spilled blood and scattered money are not considered.

“What about over there?”

An introduction from Tonba’s side.

“He’s the youngest of the Immortal Family.”

A place where Sein also has ties.

“Shame. Tsk.”

Sein expressed genuine disappointment.

“Fetch that Jaegar kid.”

In this Territory War, a warrior could be someone from the same lineage.

After all, the acceptance of a mission is up to the individuals.

If Jaegar had shown up.

Snick.

It wouldn’t have been a problem to slit his throat.

Because this was a mission.

“You need not worry.”

The information agent spoke to Sein.

“The Immortal Family’s lineage is different from Demorus’…”

“Hey.”

At that moment, the chilly voice of Sein was heard.

“Don’t cross the line.”

“…!”

The startled informant opened his eyes wide.

“Answer only what is asked. Don’t unnecessarily delve into the subject.”

“Sorry, sorry….”

“Lucky you.”

Ping.

Sein flicked his finger and handed the lad a Demoras gold coin.

A coin far more valuable than the usual gold coins.

“You’ll have to see quite a bit of blood from now on. Endure it.”

“….”

“Name.”

“….”

“Don’t make me ask twice.”

The informant lowered his head and replied.

“I am Kiroz, affiliated with the 5th District Otolmeo Headquarters.”

“Report everything that happened today promptly. I’ll check next time.”

“I will keep it in mind.”

“Get lost.”

At Sein’s words, the informant vanished like a shadow.

“Phew, Otolmeo is quite a distance away.”

The informant might have wanted to change his specialized desk or something, appearing so conspicuous like that.

Well, the important thing wasn’t the foot soldiers but the brains, so after seeing how things go today, he could decide whether to stick with Otolmeo or not.

“By the way, Yuhi?”

Grin.

Sein smiled as he looked ahead.

There stood Tonba, one of the protagonists of this Territory War.

Hmm.

Darkness descended over the city protected by a barrier.

The barrier not only kept the darkness at bay but also kept out unwelcome guests.

Breaking through the barrier of such a city was an incredibly difficult task.

Tap, tap, tap, tap!

Sein was leaping over the boundary of that barrier.

“How long has it been since Lasciel.”

Different barrier structures in each district.

Lasciel, where Sein had spent a long time, was in the 5th District.

The essence of magic, the structure of spells, and such things.

Zing.

It wasn’t difficult for Sein, who possessed the Dragon Heart.

In a world where dragons were said to be the origin of all magic, known as the master of magic.

Sein had already deciphered the boundaries of Paine, a city with Rashiel.

Even if they were in the same Fifth Zone, the boundaries wouldn’t be exactly the same.

Snap!

Once one was deciphered, it was relatively easy to apply it to a certain extent.

Sein, surging past the walls.

The crucial part was to breach a small point in the barrier while ensuring the Lord of the barrier wouldn’t notice.

Zizz!

As Sein touched the barrier, a blue light shimmered and began to spread.

In the darkness of the night consumed by shadows, Sein’s golden eyes shone even brighter.

From now on, he would use the special abilities of the Dragon, earned through training with Rashiel’s candidates and Hell, especially the Prince.

More accurately, it could be called the Dragon’s special ability.

“Dispel.”

Magic destruction.

Still not fully matured, and different from when it was a game, so there were difficulties in using it.

But this was akin to the abilities of a Dragon, known as the master of magic.

Eeing!

In the end, Sein succeeded in creating a small hole in Tonba’s barrier.

Sein plummeted without hesitation.

Ego, the moment the thief emitted light.

Thud.

Sein treaded the ground as if he were a cat.

“Comforting.”

There were restrictions when using skills unrelated to his life.

But by using Ego, not only did those restrictions disappear, but he could also utilize specialized abilities.
