Survive as a Prison Guard in the Game

Chapter 101
Resurrection of the Oberg Empire (2)

Burning Hell Warden’s Office.

Rukel picked up the mug on his desk and sipped his coffee, his other hand holding up a report that had just been delivered.

[Report]

-Caius Badiola, Leader of the Magnes Organization is dead.

-The cause of his death is suspected to be the destruction of the curse.

-The operation was led by Redin, who used Brown Bears to locate Caius and preemptively stop him before he could…..

“Hmmm…..”

This time, the report was no different.

Under Redin’s plan, with Redin taking the lead, the mission was executed.

And the results were always good.

Even when the difficulty of the mission increased dramatically due to the existence of a spy from the start.

His success rate was so perfect that he completed every mission without a single failure.

“After all, he’s from that family….”

Rukel put down the report and clasped his hands around his mug of coffee, remembering what had happened in the past.

Fifteen years ago.

When he was a captain leading a special task force unit.

Under the call of the Six Kingdoms.

There had been a time when the entire Special Task Force Divisions had been assigned to a single mission.

‘The massacre of House Berhart.’

Although now long gone from the continent.

Fifteen years ago, they were as famous as the Six Kingdoms themselves.

The Gifted Berhart.

All those with the blood of House Berhart in their veins were extraordinarily talented.

Some were gifted with the sword.

Others were artistically talented.

For some, it was in the arts of arcane.

And some in singing.

Their talents manifested in different fields, but all of them reached the pinnacle of their craft and made their mark on history.

When the massacre happened.

The Head of House Berhart was so wise that the kings of the Six Kingdoms called him the Sage.

How to lead a kingdom with finesse.

The Sage listened to the concerns of the six kingdoms and gave them wise advice on how to solve their problems.

The Berharts were protected by knights sent by the six kingdoms, and they were never without support.

Until one day.

The Sage was slain.

All of the knights were killed, and the six kingdoms became suspicious of each other and turned to Burning Hell.

‘Find out who is responsible for the annihilation of House Berhart, and locate any surviving members of the House Berhart.’

While searching around the Mansion.

He found a child crying in the wilderness. Around his neck was a necklace bearing the name.

[Redin Berhart].

He searched the surrounding vicinity, but the child’s parents were nowhere to be seen. Unable to help himself, Rukel took him home.

He kept him a secret from the Six Kingdoms.

He feared that someone might be after him, and he thought he would be safest with the child.

The subsequent manhunt has been ongoing.

The investigation had come to an end, leaving only speculation that a criminal organization was responsible.

‘Take care of this child.’

Rukel left Redin in the care of a nanny in his family’s home, and spent his time focusing on the work in Burning Hell.

And so the years passed.

When Redin was a little over 15 years old.

He received a call from his nanny.

‘Master Rukel, the young master, left a letter for you.’

The Sword, Magic, or Martial Arts.

Redin had no talent for any of them.

Rukel was a little worried, but the letter contained a strong promise that he was leaving to avenge his parents’ deaths.

Rukel couldn’t find anything about Redin.

“I never thought he’d show up on Burning Hell again.”

Redin was suspected of being part of the Magnes organization that was responsible for the ship’s explosion.

Rukel was still dumbfounded when he remembered it.

He hadn’t expected the young boy who had left to seek revenge alone to show up at Burning Hell, where he was the warden.

Though, honestly, he was glad to see him.

He seemed to want to start from the ground up, so he made no attempt to appear to know Redin.

So he could grow on his own.

Just providing him with a hand from a distance.

“Hmm…….”

Part of him was curious.

He was a member of the Berhart lineage.

Redin had never shown any particular talent.

He wondered what the child’s talent was.

“Hmm.”

Rukel set his coffee mug down and smiled.

The ability to survive in any environment.

A swordsmanship that could hold his own against Caius Badiola.

A brilliant mind for tracking and capturing criminals.

If one looked at Redin’s accomplishments so far, there was no one thing that could be singled out and called a field of talent.

He’s an all-around brilliant hexagonal figure.

“If that’s a gift, is it a talent?”

Rukel put down the report in his hand.

Soon, it would be time for the meeting of the Six Kingdoms.

*Ooooooohhhh!*

Rukel whirled around to see what it was, as the window rattled, and a giant transmitting orb appeared beyond the window.

Light emanated from the orb, creating a screen.

-Ah. Ah.

He heard an ear-scraping voice.

Soon, a clear male voice spoke.

-Greetings My name is Han, of the Darkness Seven.

The masked man on the screen.

-I’m here because I have something I want to tell the Six Kingdoms and the entire continent.

*Knock!* *Knock!*

The door to the office opened and his assistant entered.

“Warden, outside….”

“Stand by and watch.”

Rukel turned his gaze away and focused on the screen.

The screen shifted briefly to show a ruined castle. It was so broken and dilapidated that it was hard to tell what kind of castle it was.

It moved, illuminating the interior of the castle.

The king’s palace appeared with a long red carpet. Unlike the outside, the inside was immaculate. There was someone sitting on a throne made of gold.

-The Emperor of the Oberg Empire, who was favored by the Creator, defeated the demons, and ruled the continent.

-A descendant of Rudkal.

With that, the banner of the Empire fluttered.

“……Impossible.”

Rukel swallowed hard and clenched his fists.

-By order of His Majesty Himus von Oberg. I hereby proclaim that as of today, the Oberg Empire has been resurrected.

Twelve people are dragged to the front of the red carpet. Their faces were hidden by black sacks.

Rukel bit his lip.

Something didn’t feel right about this.

Knights with swords walked behind the figures in black sacks and removed their coverings.

His hunch was not wrong.

“……!”

The Heads of the Twelve Families who had brought about the downfall of the Oberg Empire.

Rukel’s mouth dropped open.

-With the resurrection of the Empire, we will execute the sinners who brought it down.

The knights raised their swords high in salute to the Oberg Empire and slit the throats of the heads of the families before them.

-Next will be…. the kings of the six kingdoms. Be prepared, for it is your turn.

The video ended with a muffled voice.

“Warden, the communication orbs of the six kingdoms have all been activated.”

“Connect it.”

A white ceiling.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the status window.

[Devouring the Curse of Infinity].

[The Shadow has finished Digesting].

[The level of Shadow Arts has increased. Various abilities are unlocked].

[Ding!]

[The number of Shadow Alter Egos has been increased].

[Shadow Lord’s Dream Duration has been decreased].

He slowly pushed himself to his feet and looked around.

Burning Hell’s medical room.

A few feet away was Kara, the Head of the Medical Department. She stood up at the sound of the rustling and walked over to him.

“You’re up, I see.”

“How long have I been lying down?”

“About two days. I’m just leaving you here for a minute. The Warden wants me to contact him when you wake up.”

He watched Kara walk away and checked his body. Aside from a little stiffness from lying down for so long, everything seemed fine.

Inside the patient gown.

A sigil on his left pectoral.

Seeing as the phoenix was still there, so was the extra life.

“Huu…”

Since he managed to save the extra life and ate the Infinity Curse, he’s pretty satisfied with the outcome of this mission.

*Knock!* *Knock!*

“This is Daylon.”

“Come in.”

Daylon entered the infirmary accompanied by a familiar voice, his face showing that he hadn’t slept much.

‘Had something happened again?’

“Hey, glad you’re awake.”

“You don’t look well, is something wrong?”

“Before that, how are you feeling?”

“I’m fine.”

He demonstrates by swinging his arm around.

Daylon nodded, pulling up a chair and sitting beside him.

“I have a long story to tell you.”

“What’s up with that tone?”

Letting out a small sigh, Daylon explained the current situation.

“A few hours after you and Swordswoman killed Caius’s, transmission orbs appeared all over the continent.”

“…….”

“From there, a descendant of the Orberg Empire was revealed, announcing the return of the Empire and decapitating the heads of the twelve families. Their next target is the Kings of the Six Kingdoms.”

The flow of events at this point was similar to that of the game.

The initial forces of the Empire were the Darkness Seven, Pierre, and Hekan. They would grow in power and begin to target the kings of the Six Kingdoms.

“Is that what’s keeping you busy?”

“The crime rate has risen sharply since that incident, due to the fact that a handful of gangs from the Six Kingdoms have joined forces with the Oberg Empire.”

“Sounds like a headache.”

Daylon nodded.

“It is.”

“What’s the reaction from the kingdoms?”

“According to the Warden, they don’t have an answer. Some say we should strike them down now, others say we should ignore them.”

Clucking his tongue, Daylon sighed deeply.

” What’s worse is the dismantling of Cerberus.”

“Dismantling Cerberus?”

“They cooperated with us in capturing the Head of Magnes. Now that we’ve killed the leader, the Kingdom must have told them to send their people back to the Kingdom.”

At a time when crimes of all kinds are rising.

Cerberus’s status needed to be recognized, and Pierre and Hekan needed to be rounded up.

Now was the time.

“Is it impossible to hold off?”

“All six kingdoms are in agreement. They’ll probably take them and form a special organization like Cerberus.”

This was troubling.

The only thing he had seen in the game was that Cerberus had captured Magnes, so he wasn’t expecting this.

“So they’ve taken away Cerberus’ powers, too?”

Daylon shook his head.

“No. I think it was because of the resurgence of the Oberg Empire, but they said they’d keep that authority in place until we’ve captured Pierre, Hekan, and the Darkness Seven.”

“Including capturing the nobles?”

“Yes, with the stipulation that when we capture a member of the nobility of each kingdom, we must be accompanied by a special organization that will be created in that kingdom.”

That wasn’t so bad.

The organization was being maintained.

“So what happened to Cerberus’ recruitment?”

“Well, the children of all twelve families have applied, after what they’ve been through, after this. There’s a lot of rage.”

“Other than that….”

“I think we’re going to get a lot of applicants for prison guards, and we’ve decided that the good ones will be prioritized for transfer to Cerberus.”

“What we need is time, I suppose.”

“Exactly.”

Daylon’s expression cooled.

It was the look he wore when he was about to say something important, so he straightened his back and looked at him.

“So I have a favor to ask you.”

“Go ahead.”

“I need you to infiltrate Darkness Seven and buy us some time and information about them.”
