Survive as a Prison Guard in the Game

Chapter 102
Resurrection of the Oberg Empire (3)

The future will be a battle of might between the Oberg Empire, resurrected by the Darkness Seven, and the Six Kingdoms.

In the midst of it all, the Demon Church would seize upon the opportunity.

The current Cerberus could not handle all of this. As Daylon had said, they needed time to develop.

Including his own personal growth.

“I’ll do it.”

“If it’s too much for you, you can give up. We can find another way, or find someone else.”

Even if they sent someone else, they wouldn’t find a shadow of the Darkness Seven.

They’ll anticipate such a move, and will have a method of distinguishing between spies.

It would take great skill to slip through the cracks.

That would demand exceptional finesse.

There are people in Burning Hell who can get through that chasm and infiltrate the Darkness Seven, but they’re mostly in high positions.

He’s the only one who can do this right now.

It was something he had to do.

Time away from Burning Hell, time to roam free on his own, and time to pick up the hidden pieces he hadn’t been able to grab.

“I’ll do it.”

“Okay. I’ll report it to the warden.”

But he doesn’t want to do it for free.

“There’s something I’d like to ask you.”

“Go ahead.”

“I’d like to take something from the prisoner supply room.”

The prisoner’s supply room.

A place where the items belonging to captured prisoners are kept. If he rummage around, he might find something useful.

“I think I can organize that. Is there anything else you want?”

“When I return from my mission, I’d like to have the authority to create my own organization.”

A special armed organization that could fill in the gaps in Burning Hell.

A special group that utilizes criminals.

He plan to actively utilize them to deal with the remnants of the Demon Church.

“I’ll report it accordingly.”

“I’ll be on my way as well.”

“Without a plan?”

“I have something roughly outlined while we were talking. I’ll refine it as I go.”

Daylon smirked, shook his head, and held out his hand.

Taking it, they shook hands.

“Cerberus won’t be able to help you with anything, but I have faith in you, Redin, that you’ll do just fine without help.”

“Okay.”

“Take care.”

Daylon stood up and left the infirmary.

It was silent for a moment.

He lay back in his bed and stretched, trying to organize his jumbled thoughts.

Infiltration mission into the Oberg Empire.

The purpose of this mission is to learn of Darkness Seven’s plans, disrupt them, and stall for time.

It’s a temporary stopgap.

If something doesn’t happen, the Six Kingdoms will fall, just as it did in the game he was playing.

The Orberg Empire and Demon Church.

With kingdoms crumbling in the process.

The Oberg Empire absorbs the kingdom defectors and grows in power, while the Demon Church opens the gates of the Demon Realm and brings demons to its side.

The weakened Six Kingdoms were unable to contain the demons.

“Rodwell…….”

To change the future, it was necessary to take down Rodwell, the man at the heart of all these events.

A man about whom no official information has been released.

Aside from his name and the fact that he was the leader of the Darkness Seven, he was only occasionally mentioned by other members of the Syndicate.

*sigh!*

Little by little, until it became a mountain.

Piecing together the little bits of information, he was able to piece together the skills Rodwell might have.

The one to be most wary of.

[Abyssal Eye]

This skill is more advanced than Mask of the Dead, allowing the user to read the entire past through the eyes of another person.

It’s an insane skill that can even tell if a target is telling the truth or a lie.

If he intends to infiltrate the Oberg Empire and reach the heart of the Darkness Seven, he’ll have to deal with the Abyssal Eye.

“There is only one.”

A special item that can take the Abyssal Eye head-on.

Obtaining it is his first priority.

Once he obtains it, his second goal is to infiltrate the Oberg Empire. After that, the third goal is to get the Fourth Copied Skill.

He can’t take on Rodwell at his current level.

“Slowly…”

‘Shall I go?’

After dropping by the prisoner’s supply room to pick up a few items, he boarded a ship and arrived at the harbor.

After exiting the harbor, he visited his quarters.

Not needing to wear his uniform anymore, he hung it up in the closet and changed into a comfortable adventurer’s outfit.

He stashed Harungel’s sword in his subspace pouch.

Carrying it around was likely to cause attention, so it was better to stop by the smithy and buy a decent sword.

When he was ready, he left the compound.

He saw a red-haired woman walking in his direction. A woman whose looks were beyond words.

Rebecca.

He locked eyes with her.

A different intensity than the first time.

There was no sign of the jealousy that had once been there. A calmness in her eyes. He could tell she had grown with Cerberus on their mission.

If she’s that mature, she will certainly do well as a King.

He raised his palm to Rebecca, who paused slightly at the sight of his face.

“Long time no see?”

“Yeah.”

“Nothing’s going on, right?”

With one eyebrow furrowed, Rebecca tilted her head to look at him.

“I don’t think so?”

Not because he was genuinely worried.

He just wondered if the premature closure of the Magnes case had hastened the events that would follow.

The death of the Knight King.

And with it, the fight for the throne.

In the original plot, it was one of the brothers who became King, who became a tyrant and ruined the Kingdom until Rebecca intervened.

Afterwards, Rebecca left the Kingdom.

Shortly thereafter, The Kingdom of Adrian imploded on itself, and its name disappeared from the continent.

Naturally.

This time, he had no intention of letting it happen.

“I’m glad to hear it.”

“But where are you going? The Captain said to round up everyone from Cerberus?”

“Personal Mission.”

“What kind of mission?”

“A secret.”

He smirked at Rebecca’s curiosity and flashed her a smile before saluting.

“Take care of Cerberus, Deputy Rebecca.”

“What? The hell are you…….”

“You’ll hear about it when you get back.”

He waved and left the headquarters, and stopped by the port’s most famous smithy.

It was safe to say that all the prison guards bought their weapons here.

After purchasing an excellent quality sword.

Slinging it on his belt, he headed for the nearest teleporter.

“Please state your destination.”

“The Kingdom of Resha.”

Capital of the Kingdom of Resha.

Magitia.

Marek’s Shop was on the street with the Red Tower. Using the Mask of the Dead to change his appearance, he walked the streets, studying the address he had been given.

Peaceful Avenue.

He saw a restaurant he’d frequented during his brief stay in Magitia. After a quick stop for some toast and coffee to quell his hunger, he continued on to the shop’s premises.

Signage on a wide fence.

[Reverse Shop].

In the game, Marek’s Shop name was Black. The reason for the change to Reverse is that Marek’s future has changed.

-I feel like I’ve been reborn, and I’ll grow my shop to reflect that.

The name of the business is not that important.

He recalled telling him to do that.

“Good naming sense.”

Beyond the fence were wagons and cargo. He could see soldiers escorting the wagons and others checking the goods.

Walking past the wagons, he entered the building.

Weaving through the bustling crowd, he made his way to the reception desk.

“Welcome, sir. Welcome to the Shop of Reverse. What can I do for you?”

“I’m here to see the owner.”

“Do you have an appointment?”

“Bahad.”

“One moment.”

The receptionist checked something.

His eyes widened and he swallowed dryly.

“The owner…?”

“Shhh. Just be quiet and escort me to the master’s room.”

“Okay.”

He followed the usher through the inner part of the building.

After ascending the stairs, they entered the upper main room at the end of the hallway, where he saw a large room and a balcony.

The atmosphere is good.

“The Head Owner is currently talking to a guest from outside, so as soon as he finishes, I’ll bring him to you.”

“Okay.”

“If you need anything, just press that call button. I’ll be right back with something to drink.”

After watching the receptionist leave, he slowly looked around the room. On the desk was a photo of his daughter that looked like it had been taken recently.

Her face was definitely brighter than the last time he had seen her.

Leaving the photo behind, he walked over to the safe in the right corner.

-Password: 15214. It’s the safe with the Monster Souls you asked for, so take them when you get there.

He recalled what he’d been told last night during their conversation over the comms. Squatting over the safe, he keyed in the combination.

*Creak!*

The vault door opened, revealing dozens of glass vials. The vials contained Monster Souls.

“Quite a collection.”

Taking out one of them, he removed the lid and took out the Monster Soul and held it in his hand. As he was about to absorb it, he wanted to check something, so he summoned his Shadow Alter Ego.

He gave the monster soul to his shadow alter ego.

With a mental command to eat it, the shadow alter ego immediately placed the monster soul in its mouth.

[You have consumed Monster Soul (A)].

[Reflexes heightened].

“Interesting.”

He briefly imagined his shadow alter ego getting stronger by consuming monster souls as it raided each dungeon.

It would be more efficient to buy them with money from Marek.

In the future, when one of his Shadow Alter Egos reached Expert Intermediate and the number increased.

At that point, it was enough to do a sweep.

After taking all the Monster Souls in the vault, he went to the couch and made himself comfortable.

“Hmmm.”

Quietly, he closed his eyes.

He visualized the simulated training he’d been doing in his spare time. A simulation of summoning two shadow alter egos and using Gale Slash at the same time.

Various ways to utilize them.

He spent his time with such thoughts.

*Knock!* *Knock!*

At the knock on the door, he opened his closed eyes. Turning to see a familiar face. Marek Casino with his graying hair.

He walked towards him with a beaming smile.

“I thought you were coming over late.”

“I came earlier because I had some time to kill.”

“Really? Did you get all the Monsters Souls?”

“Yes. You must have had little time to gather them, how did you do it?”

“I left someone at the auction house and scraped them up right away. I’ll be collecting them steadily from now on, so stop by and pick them up from time to time.”

A few minutes later, the assistant came in with drinks and snacks. Lifting his coffee cup, he took a sip and resumed the discussion.

“So have you completely swayed the nobles in the Adrian Kingdom?”

“I think I’ll need a little more time to get them fully on my side, so I’m making some connections in the other kingdoms.”

“That’s fast.”

“It’s going to keep me busy, because like I said yesterday, I think we’re going to be at war with the Oberg Empire sooner or later.”

Marek took a bite out of his cookie.

“So I’m stocking up on supplies, so I can sell them for a high price when the war breaks out.”

The revival of the Orberg Empire.

That was the strength of Marek Casino, to be able to pick up on details and find ways to make money from them.

“So until then, there’s nothing but elixir trading?”

“I managed to get a mining concession from one of the nobles of the Adrian Kingdom, so for the time being, I’ll be developing that side of the business to make money.”

“What about the elixir aspect?”

“I heard they’ve shortened the recovery time a bit, but it’s not easy to produce yet, so I only have a prototype. Take it with you when you go, I’ve prepared it for you.”

After that, they talked about the rest of their project.

The mages he asked for before are now two people. He was told that Marek’s in the process of recruiting more, so by the time he enters the Imperial Laboratory.

There should be enough for about 10.

“I’m glad I left you in charge.”

“It’s a task assigned to me by the man who saved my life, and I’m prepared to die for it.”

He smiled and stood up.

“Good luck with your future endeavors.”

“Leaving?”

“Yes. It’s time to get back on the road.”

“Where do I send the item you asked for yesterday?”

A place where he can get a special item that can stop the Abyssal Eye.

Also known as the Dryad’s Village.

“You can send it to Geppetto Village.”
