They finally have fully entered Gangdong-gu and the density of the strange grasses covering the ground increased.
Dirty trees grew between buildings and there were small beasts running on the trees.
Gangdong-gu was already half of another world.
Han Sooyoung bit her lips and asked, “Are we too late? What if the disaster has already awakened?”
“It hasn’t happened yet. Then we would’ve received the scenario.” Kim Dokja answered.
The group took a few more steps and saw several markings on the ground.
It looked like graffiti but it was actually a territorial display.
It was a warning that no one should enter.
From here on, it was the area of the Poisoner.
Like the other wanderers, she settled in Gangdong-gu and started to expand her base.
The progress was faster than what Kim Dokja expected.
The people looking at it and some of the prophets asked Kim Dokja about it for explanations.
From the time they start the journey to Gangdong-gu, Choi Han has been silent and seems to be observing the other.
It makes Kim Dokja feel uncomfortable because he can’t read his mind and Choi Han seems to be different right now.
But when he tried to check his status, someone talked to him.
Han Sooyoung said, “If this group is well guarded, it won’t be easy to attack… Have you thought of something?”
No. I didn’t intend to wage an all-out war in the first place. Kim Dokja shake his head.
“We only need the meteorite. We can just steal it. I will buy time while you take the meteorite.” Then Kim Dokja explained what they should do.
However, it wouldn’t be so easy.
The story might be different if they had an assistant like the Wanderer King and they didn’t know if Choi Han and the cultists will help them.
If they could get some help from Choi Han, it would be easier and they would also get the help from the cultists that following them.
As Kim Dokja thought about it, Yoo Jonghyuk interrupted.
–There is no need to rush. Even if the disaster begins, the Disaster of Questions is a disaster that can be suppressed at an early stage.
An early suppression. Indeed, it was possible for Yoo Jonghyuk. Kim Dokja thought while remembering about the Ways of Survival.
–Early suppression? Who will do that? Are you a half god?
Kim Dokja replied.
–Of course it should be you. Weren’t you thinking about it anyway?
Yoo Jonghyuk answer.
–Why do you think that? Kim Dokja curious with what Yoo Jonghyuk said.
–You have already woken up the guide and received the Way of the Wind.
Based on his tone, Yoo Jonghyuk was slightly anger that Kim Dokja had taken the Way of the Wind that he was supposed to learn.
Kim Dokja said with a smile.
-I didn’t learn it.
-…Why? There wasn’t enough time? Yoo Jonghyuk seemed to be a bit confused.
I’m actually glad. Looking at Yoo Jonghyuk reaction, Kim Dokja feel a little better as he answered him truthfully.
–No, I don’t have talent.
After Kim Dokja answered, he could feel Yoo Jonghyuk’s deep contempt in his silence.
–You, from the beginning…
“There are people.”
The moment Kim Dokja heard Han Sooyoung’s words, Kim Dokja raised Unbroken Faith.
It was the territory of one of the 10 Evils so the peple would naturally belong to their group.
Kim Dokja entrusted Yoo Jonghyuk to Han Sooyoung’s avatar.
“…I will be gone for a while so take him. Do you understand?”
There is some people whispered about something like ‘What a shame.’ Or ‘Do you think that the ship will continue?’ from the cultists but Kim Dokja decided to ignored them.
The people were getting closer.
But something felt strange. Usually it wasn’t so loud when a single group moved. Then the clear voice of a woman was heard in front of us.
“Everybody run towards Cheonho Bridge!”
It wasn’t the Poisoner’s group.
They weren’t as powerful was the Wanderer King’s group but some people who survived the Poisoner’s Group were escaping from Gangdong-gu.
The unarmed survivors gasped for air when they found them.
“O-Out of the way! Hurry!”
Terrible arrows came flying towards them.
“Dodge!” For the first time Choi Han spoke.
The man who spoke to Kim Dokja fell down after being pushed by Choi Han.
He almost gets hit by the arrow.
Let’s rewind to two days ago.
After knowing the location of Mary who’s the nearest to him, Alberu change his appearance to his crown prince appearance.
The reason he did this was to gain the power of the masses (fans) to help him quickly find the other and get more help.
He understands that his popularity will able to help him out.
Different from his Dongsaeng who hate it, he always likes to use his popularity to manipulate them without them realizing it.
As a Crown Prince of Roan Kingdom, he learned how to use his popularity to his advantage from young age.
When they arrived at this world, he realized that his appearance is having a great advantage and that’s why he didn’t say anything when he knew that Clopeh Sekka was making their fancafes.
He secretly looks at the fancafes activity and learned about how scary the anger of the fans to those who tried to say something bad about them and made those people unable or dare to online again.
But of course only he, Clopeh, the manager and the fans know about it.
In this world, his Crown Prince persona is really helpful as it was loved by most people.
The people in this world also love how he cares greatly to the people from the same world especially Cale for some reason.
The popularity is protecting them from those who tried to harm them, but even after the world turned into apocalyptic like after the dokkaebis appeared it still didn’t change.
As the scenario started, their popularity started to raise with the constellations and some lower dokkaebis.
The concept is a bit different but they are acting similar to what happened with the fancafes before.
And the constellations also keep sending him a lot of sponsorships just from him politely replied to them or smiling brightly.
When he was in his crown prince appearance, he was able to get more sponsorships from the constellations that leaning toward good.
And when he was in his dark elf appearance, he will get more sponsorships from the constellations that leaning toward bad.
Right now he choose the crown prince appearance because it was more popular to the survivors.
Before they were teleport by the intermediate dokkaebi, he saw how strong that the fans on that place were.
Most of them know this appearance and they will do anything to protect them from any harm.
For example:
When Alberu asked for the constellations help.
“Can you help me to tell Mary to wait until I arrive to her place?” Alberu asked with his usual crown prince smile.
[Some constellations quickly send some messages to ‘Mary-nim’.]
***
“What a shame that Cale-nim was not here.”
“I wish Cale-nim and Choi Han-nim are also here.”
“If only that bastard dokkaebi didn’t do that...”
“But I think I really love the fact that we still could meet Our Godly Prince Charming, Alberu-nim.”
“I’m glad that my prayers were heard by Our Godly Idols.”
“He is Our Light in this dark and ruined world.”
“I have hard time to choose which appearance is better...”
“Why don’t you choose ALL?”
“You are Genius!!!”
They are talking in that manner while teaching the survivors how to kill the monsters and moving to where Mary is.
It was a peaceful(?) scene if you don’t look at the monsters corpses and their blood drenched appearance.
Alberu was able to reunited with Mary much quicker and easier than he thought because of their helps.
***
That’s why he decided to use this appearance to get their help and quickly find the other with Taerang navigation.
Alberu prediction turned into reality as the fans really saw and follow him.
They also trying their best to kill any monsters that approaching them and there also some CRSF members who help the other fans to learn how to fight the monsters.
As their numbers get bigger, it started to looks like they were bullying the monsters with their numbers.
If there is any other people who saw it, they might be felt pity for the monsters.
After getting help from the fans (survivors and constellations), Alberu finally able to meet with Mary.
When he found her, she was with some people.
They are the children that Mary help and the survivors that later joined them or some of the fans that saw Mary and decided to follow her.
“I’m worried about Young Master-nim.” Mary said with her usual GPS like voice.
[Some constellations said that ‘Cale-nim’ is save.]
[Some constellations said that ‘Cale-nim’ is saving people.]
[Some constellations said that ‘Cale-nim’ is too wonderful.]
[Some constellations send the invitation to the fans meeting at ‘Clopeh Sekka-nim' location.]
[Some constellations telling the other to become believer.]
[Some constellations...]
...
“...” Alberu feel that he just saw something that might anger or upsetting his Dongsaeng, Cale.
That crazy bastard Clopeh did it again. Although it was better than he destroying this world, but I can imagine how my Dongsaeng would react when he knew this. Alberu could only silently sympathize with his unlucky Dongsaeng.
At the fans meeting that suddenly started by Clopeh.
“...That’s why you should believe in the Great Legendary Hero, Cale-nim because it was the only way you can get the salvation.”
Clopeh finally finished his presentation about Cale greatness.
[Some constellations nodded at your words.]
[Some constellations started to interest with what you are saying.]
[Some constellations feel suspicious.]
[Some constellations want to vouched that what ‘Clopeh Sekka-nim’ said is the truth.]
[Some constellations bragged that they were already joined the fans circle.]
[Some constellations applauds your preaching.]
[Some constellations said that they got enlightenment from your words.]
[Some constellations said that they must spread your teaching.]
[Some constellations feel touched by your words.]
[Some constellations...]
...
The crowd increasing in numbers as some fans (people, constellations and dokkaebis) and they got influence by Clopeh skills without their realizing that they were under Clopeh skills effects.
The number of the people increasing because of some constellations started to follow Clopeh words and they started to preached or searched for new followers.
The fans who heard from the constellations in the fans circle words also started to preached while moving to the fans meeting.
The survivors that was helped by them get swayed and started listening to their preaching.
Because of they also include the constellations in the fans circle when they are preaching, most survivors started to believe or being influenced by their words.
Finally those people become fanatic when they met with Clopeh because of his appearance, skills and how strong the fans were.
In this apocalyptic world where they have hard time to survive, they were able to safely gaining strength to survive by following the fans teaching.
That’s why even some of them feel that the teaching of the fans was weird or seems suspicious, they still forced themselves to listen and follow them.
The dokkaebis, for example Bihyung is following because he realized that Cale group has the ability and power that could really helpful in the same side but extremely dangerous for those who are in the different side.
Bihyung had heard about what happened to the dokkaebis that acted antagonistic to Cale group before so he decided to try listening to Clopeh preaching.
From the preaching, he realized that there’s a great chance for him like how the fans buy and selling their fans collection such as photos, videos or other things like the fanfics and doujinshi.
After listening to Clopeh preaching, he checked his channel and found out that Kim Dokja was with Cale and the fans.
That’s why he decided to go to where Kim Dokja was to do business with them.
Besides if he tell the constellations that Cale was in his channel right now, ‘How many constellations will move in to his channel?’ such question popped up in Bihyung’s mind.
After calculating about his profits, Bihyung decided to tell Clopeh about Cale whereabouts.
The first thing Clopeh asked him was.
“Is there someone from the CRSF members? Could you show it to me? Can you give me the recordings of Cale-nim greatness?”
As Bihyung became flustered by the questions because he afraid that he might displeased Clopeh with his answer.
[...I...I will go and check it out as quickly as I can. Please wait for a while and I will definitely bring the photos and videos of Cale-nim greatness.]
Bihyung said as polite as possible to Clopeh and quickly went to where Kim Dokja was.
Bihyung was really surprised when he arrived there as he was surrounded by the fans killing intents because they wanted to punishes the intermediate dokkaebi who teleport them.
It took a while for him to explain to the angry fans in the werewolves base and there’s also Kim Dokja case before he able to return to where Clopeh is.
Unexpectedly he later got a lot of coins from the things he got from the werewolves base.
Some of Kim Dokja videos also bought with surprising price.
It was the videos of Kim Dokja helping Yoo Jonghyuk.
The fans meeting was getting more people, constellations and dokkaebis.
Kekekeke...I really glad that the people in this world started to understand Cale-nim greatness. Right now only lower dokkaebis are joining and helping us. I need to work harder to get higher levels dokkaebis to understand Cale-nim greatness. That's how Clopeh thought.
Clopeh was thinking something that made Cale suddenly feels goosebumps and had a bad feelings.
Sadly Cale ignored his intuition and he was thinking of leaving Clopeh in this world if possible.
Of course Choi Jung Gun was telling him that it might not possible because of the world rules and telling him some of his knowledge as a wanderer.
The new fans and survivors that was helped by Clopeh and the fans (cultists) and because of his skills, they grew tremendously in two days.
It was unknown if Cale group existence was influenced the survivors or they were motivated by Cale group existence, but the survivors can gained such great change in two days.
And they still able to grow stronger.
Two days really changed people.
