Chapter 77
Don’t Lose Your Original Intent (3)
5.
“Alright, let’s整理(organize) the situation. Up until now, I’m the only person who has ever reached this place, right?”
【Correct.】
“That’s the key point. Look. You’re trying to find a proxy, right? But for someone to become your proxy, they first need to get here. Someone has to arrive.”
【…That is also true. So become my proxy, gain the Immortal Army, and together we shall—】
“I said I don’t want to.”
【Then what do you expect me to do? If not you, then we must once again endure an endless wait.】
Wuuuuuuuuung—!
The sword embedded in the ground vibrated violently as it rose into the air. It looked ready to impale me at any second.
But it was nothing more than a bluff.
From everything I’ve gathered, this so-called Immortal King cannot lay a finger on me.
Why?
Because the future of his army—and the future of him—depends entirely on me.
“So I’m saying, I’ll find a proxy for you.”
【Unacceptable! The one who leads us must possess proper qualifications. Like this—】
“You said earlier that I have the qualifications.”
【…And?】
“So someone who already has the qualifications—you just said so yourself—is going to bring you a person to transfer them to. You think I’d bring you some weirdo?”
You are now watching a live scam in progress
Do not attempt this at home
Bro is a con-artist;;;;;
Why did the quest suddenly turn into MLM recruitment
You are actually a terrible human being…
No way the Immortal King falls for this. It’s an epic quest lol
Ungrateful viewers.
Why do you never appreciate my efforts to show you interesting scenes?
Whatever. Superstars always attract haters.
【Still… isn’t that a bit unreasonable?】
Oh? Did that persuasion actually work?
The Immortal King’s tone softened slightly.
I didn’t miss the opening—I moved straight to the next step.
“So you want to just stay here forever and wait for a potential proxy who might never come? I’ll guarantee you one thing—no one else is coming.”
【And how can you be so sure?】
“I’ll block it. I saw you need a statue fragment to enter this place. And it’s going to stay in my inventory forever.”
【W–what evil!】
[‘King Yama’ has donated 10,000 won!]
Sorry Satan, but you’re not really one of us… thanks for your service… who’s replacing you? Meteor is… that super evil ba—
[OFFICIAL] Satan fired after repeated failures
LOLLOLOLOLOL
Is this dude a demon???????
Professor, the pacing is too fast ksksksks
This guy is insane
You are now watching a player threatening a quest boss…
“I think everyone’s misunderstanding. I’m basically doing charity work here. Who goes around kindly looking for candidates on someone else’s behalf? I should be paid for this.”
You’re gonna sell it though
Like we don’t know you
Crazy crazy crazy crazy
This guy knows how to negotiate; put a gun to their head and it works better. Advice from someone who survived the hood (auto-translated)
This person’s nationality is South Korea (auto-translated)
Kurogane Tatsuya Official: Ahh, so this is how you negotiate. Another lesson received, sensei (auto-translated)
LOLLOLLOLLOL
The reactions are wild.
So, Immortal King—what can you do to stop me?
“It’s bad for both of us if I develop evil intentions, right? So let’s work together nicely, yeah?”
Negotiation always favors the desperate side.
And clearly, he’s the one who needs me.
I’m not some pushover; I’ve no reason to concede anything.
But apparently, my negotiation style bothers him.
【I cannot possibly accep—】
“Oh? Alright then, I’m leaving. Good luck. Ariadne’s Thre—”
【W-wait!】
There it is.
The murderous sword vanished, and the Immortal King floated toward me nervously.
【A condition. I have a condition.】
He took the bait spectacularly.
I returned Ariadne’s Thread to my inventory and smiled brightly.
“Go ahead, valued customer.”
【If I appoint the human you bring as proxy… then you must also aid us.】
“Aid you how exactly?”
【Conquest. You are to help our proxy conquer the Abyss.】
Conquest? What exactly does that entail?
Caught on my expression, the Immortal King kindly elaborated.
【The deepest layer of the Abyss. Aid our proxy so they can reach it. And free us from this prison.】
The exact depth of the Abyss is a mystery.
But “deepest layer” clearly means the final floor.
I thought for a moment, then nodded.
“Alright. Deal.”
【So easily?】
“I came here as a volunteer. It’s basic courtesy. Don’t doubt me.”
【Swear with your mana. Then I will believe you.】
“I, Meteor Yoo Seong-woo, swear to help the proxy of the Immortal Army reach the deepest layer of the Abyss with utmost sincerity.”
As I infused my words with mana, a message window appeared.
[The <Immortal King> accepts your oath.]
[A new quest has been generated!]
[True: Immortal Army <3>]
Grade: Epic
Description: You agreed to find a proxy to inherit the trait <Immortal Army>. Lead a qualified individual to this place.
Completion: Bring a proxy capable of inheriting the unique trait.
* From this moment, a portion of Witch Agatha Christine’s dimensional magic has been unlocked.
While I read the quest, the Immortal King continued.
【You are the only one authorized to enter this place. For another mortal to come, a new passage must be created. The statue you possess serves as the bridge. Therefore—】
snoooooore
【…Find someone skilled in dimensional magic. Use the statue to open a path.】
Can you please listen properly
Immortal King has given up and just delivers the important info now
Honestly, Immortal King is kinda likable lol
Weren’t his undead supposed to be terrifying? Why is he so polite?
Wouldn’t you be polite to a guy blackmailing you for eternity?
Negotiation (it’s extortion)
So I just visit Agatha and have her make a gate?
Easy.
“Can’t I just bring them with that rubble earlier? Too much work.”
【That was a one-time path. Under normal circumstances it should’ve been enough to appoint a proxy, but… I don’t know where it went wrong.】
“Of course it’s my responsibility.”
【That statue is more valuable than you think. Ask the mages how to enhance its function.】
“So if you knew this much you could’ve just—”
【I don’t know anything else. My specialization is not dimensional magic.】
A bit petty, but fine.
Agatha knows this stuff anyway.
I nodded, and the Immortal King sighed.
【If you’re done, begone. I wish to rest.】
“How do I get back?”
【Please figure out something on your own.】
Wasn’t he super kind the first time I got here?
“Such terrible hospitality—”
【Never has my immortality felt so cursed… I should’ve died back then…】
“You don’t need to say it like—”
【This is the karma for desiring immortality. Now just… just leave.】
Immortal King) I want to bite my tongue and die lol
Wow
When even an undead wants to die from stress
A true saint
You need this level of patience to be a king…
LOLLOLLOL
Today’s content is ‘making a boss suicidal’????
Peak episode today
Well, the owner has issued a banishment order.
Time to go.
“I’ll bring a proxy soon!”
【Preferably send them alone. I truly do not wish to see you ever again.】
“The more you see something the prettier it gets! See you later ♥”
I got everything I needed.
A transcendence-grade unique trait.
A nuclear-bomb-level plot device.
And now it’s in my hands.
Perfect time to milk it.
I smiled slowly toward the recording drone.
“I’m selling a transcendence-grade unique trait.”
【You lunatic.】
“Oh, you’re still here? Sorry.”
【How did I end up meeting this madman… Is no one there? Drag this lunatic out immediately!】
Piiiiiiiik?
The one who responded to his order was none other than Peanut.
Peanut—still in giant form—blocked the entrance completely, curled up like a massive mountain.
Adorable? No.
Huge and adorable.
「Your Majestyyyyyy!」
「This giant beast is blocking the entrance—」
「Your Majestyyyyyy!」
Ah, the royal guards must be outside.
Time to give my farewell gift.
“Don’t worry. I’ll bring you someone worth— I mean, a good proxy.”
Time to start the business.
6.
After a lovely time with the Immortal King, I returned straight to the starting point and headed once more to the Witch’s Forest.
And apparently, word had already spread.
My donation window exploded.
[‘Archmage073’ has donated $10,000!]
Nice to meet you, Meteor. I am a major US Mi-Tuber. Are you perhaps selling access to the trait? I’m personally very interested. Even if not, I would love to collaborate soon. You’ve impressed me deeply (auto-translated).

Isn’t this the highest donation ever?
“Mr. CEO—no, PRESIDENT sir! Thank you so much!! Collab anytime—”
Just as I was about to do a celebratory flip, more gigantic donations exploded.
[‘CN_Warlord’ has donated 5,000,000 won!]

WOW;;;;;;
More and more donations poured in like a waterfall.
An amount that absolutely demolished every previous record.
…Is this the power of a transcendence-grade trait?
Stunned, I bowed deeply at the drone.
“THANK YOU! THANK YOU SO MUCH, PRESIDENTS!”
Money I’ve never even seen in my life is now raining onto my stream.
And their goal is simple:
The unique trait <Immortal Army>.
What reaction should I give?
Oh. This one’s perfect.
“As a sign of gratitude for the massive donations… my reaction will be: ENDING THE STREAM!”
