I'm the Only One With a Different Genre - Chapter 115

Chapter 115
Run! He’s a Gag Resident!

A laboratory with all its walls made of glass. The stark white bed was the only indication that it was a living space.

“Damn…”

A man with dark blue hair, covered in dust as if he had rolled in dirt, was bound with thick ropes and thrown into the center of the room.

He twisted his body to look at the neighboring cells. Children huddled in transparent glass rooms, displayed like museum exhibits.

The man gritted his teeth, trying to summon his magic to break free from the ropes, but something interfered, scattering his magic.

Click, clack.

Footsteps echoed in the long corridor beyond the glass cells.

“Is this the intruder?”

“He looks sturdy enough. We needed a human test subject, so this works out well.”

Two figures approached the glass cell where he was lying. One was a highly intelligent lizard-like monster, and the other was a demon with a horn growing from one side of his head, likely a low-rank demon from his rough appearance.

The man lay limp, listening to their chatter.

‘Human test subject, huh?’

His gaze shifted to the neighboring cell. A small spirit with sky-blue skin was crouched, motionless.

T h is w a s c o pi e d fr om k i n g m t l. o r g
‘They needed a human test subject? Then why capture spirits?’

From what he knew, this lab had been gathering spirits so intensively that they were nearly extinct. The slave market focused solely on capturing spirits, not humans.

But suddenly, they needed human test subjects?

‘What on earth are they researching?’

He had infiltrated this place for two reasons. The first was to free the captured spirits, and the second was to find out what the Demon King’s research facility was up to.

As a research facility under the Demon King’s army, security was tight and formidable.

Thanks to thorough preparation, he had managed to reach the room where the spirit children were held, but he got caught by the last trap.

Grind.

The man discreetly cut the ropes with a thin metal piece sewn into his sleeve, his eyes glinting.

‘I’ll escape when I see an opportunity. Until then, gather as much information as possible.’

He organized his thoughts methodically.

[ Ugh! It hurts! It hurts! Mom! Mom! ]

“…!”

From a distant glass room, the scream of a spirit child echoed. The child’s face was grotesquely swollen. Other children looked up at the screaming child.

Spirits, though playful, treasured their friends. Pure-hearted, the children instinctively moved toward the screaming child’s room, despite knowing what would happen next.

Through the transparent glass walls, their worried gazes and teardrops fell.

[ Mother… ]

[ Mom, mom, Annie is in pain. ]

[ … ]

T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r om k i ng mtl .or g
The spirit’s song-like voice echoed sadly, but no miracle occurred.

[ Guh, guh! ]

The child’s face swelled to an enormous size, rendering speech impossible. The man fixedly etched the cruel scene into his eyes as if to bleed tears.

This w a s cop ied f r o m k i ng m t l . o rg
[ Mo…m… ]

With those words, the child exploded. Blue liquid, different from human blood, streamed down the glass walls. Even knowing that spirits would return to nature and be reborn someday, the other spirits couldn’t hide their sorrow.

“Collect every drop of liquid in the room! All spirit byproducts are useful.”

As the demon raised his voice, assistants dressed in protective suits entered the glass room. The spirit children could only watch their friend’s remains being collected into bottles.

All they could do was search for their mothers, trapped somewhere and crying pitifully.

Grind.

The man grit his teeth and etched the horrific scene into his mind repeatedly.

“I believe Melon was in charge of this experiment? Inform him that the test subject has been discarded and that a new one will be assigned, with a reduced dosage.”

Everyone in the lab treated the cruel handling of spirits as a matter of course. Such was the land of the Demon King.

Leading the foremost group out of ten, Lily muttered as she observed a cleared path.

“Who would’ve thought there’d be a path here?”

“Indeed.”

Lily’s secretary, Monica, nodded in agreement.

“How did Lian oppa know about this path?”

“Maybe he’s been here himself? Or got the information somewhere…”

“If it’s information obtainable in Cardishian, I should’ve known about it…”
Thi s w a s c o p i ed f ro m k i ng m t l . o r g

The two exchanged light conversation as they quickened their pace. If they slowed down, the groups behind them would have to stop.

But they didn’t move recklessly. Leading the front meant they had to be the first to sense any threats.

While carefully observing their surroundings, they suddenly stopped upon discovering something.

Lily signaled the eight members following them to stop with a hand gesture, then hid in the bushes to observe the suspicious scene.

“Lian oppa said there would only be ruins…”

At the end of their gaze stood a man with a sword at his waist, guarding what appeared to be an entrance.

“No matter how you look at it, that’s not a ruin.”
Th i s wa s copi e d f r o m kin g m t l .o r g

“Indeed, it looks like an active facility.”

Lily quietly retreated and took out a communication crystal. She quickly relayed the scene to Noah.

“It wasn’t a ruin?”

Lian exclaimed in surprise, then fell into serious thought.

‘It was supposed to be a ruin in the original story…’

He knew that since he had changed the fates of many, he couldn’t rely much on the original story.

However, he hadn’t considered that the changes would affect the geography and buildings, only events and relationships.

‘For now, finding another path is urgent.’

Lian immediately took out a map and began to examine it.

‘The building isn’t a ruin, but the path is still here as in the original. There should be a side path described in the original. Let’s take that route.’

Before long, Lian deduced the location of the side path from the original story.

“Noah, let’s change plans and take a new route—”

Before he could finish his sentence.

[ Ahhh! ]

[ No! Stop it! ]

Crackle!

Lily’s scream echoed through the communication crystal, followed by silence. Noah and Lian’s faces hardened. Noah immediately contacted Nero, who was leading the second group.

[ Got it! I’m heading there now! ]

Nero replied in a tense voice and cut off the communication. Noah and Lian exchanged looks.

“Let’s get to the forefront as quickly as possible!”

“Right, we need to hurry.”

The organization members nodded heavily without complaint. They all looked ready to sprint forward with all their might. However, they were much slower than Lian and Noah, who couldn’t leave them behind.

Realizing this, Lian spoke to Noah, who seemed ready to dash off.

“Noah, you go ahead. I’ll bring the others.”

“Are you sure about that?”

“Of course.”

Lian smiled, causing Noah’s tense face to relax a bit.
T h i s w as c o p i e d f r o m ki n g m tl .or g

“Then I’m counting on you for the rear!”

“Got it.”

Lian immediately started moving ahead with the group at a brisk pace. Before long, he found the next group waiting.

According to them, Noah had sprinted past like an arrow and ordered them to wait. Lian explained the situation and combined the groups.

‘Noah and Lily will be fine. I need to focus on leading the members to the side path.’

Lian hurriedly led the combined group forward. Just as they were about to merge with the remaining three teams, he felt a sense of dread.

‘They’re not here.’

Considering the distance between the groups, the next team should have been visible by now.

‘Something’s wrong.’

Lian, his face stern, led the group toward the side path.

‘I’ll move everyone collected so far to a safe place—’

Just as he was continuing his thoughts.
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k in gm tl .o r g

Buzz!

“…!”

“Gasp!”

“Is it an enemy…?”

“Mom…”

Before them, a black magic circle appeared, and something began to be summoned.

[ Grrr! ]

A grotesque creature, as if it had melted, appeared with a squelch.

“What is that?!”

“Horrible…”

“Everyone, step back!”

People screamed and retreated with pale faces. In contrast, Lian summoned his demon sword without changing his expression.

‘Hmm…’

Lian looked at the grotesque being with a puzzled face.

‘How horrible must it be to require a mosaic?’

[ A mosaic? Is that what you call that? I can’t see what it looks like, it’s all blurry. ]

‘Huh? You see it that way too?’

Had the demon sword sucked too much of Lian’s blood? It was half-using the gag filter. This would disappear if it were separated from Lian.

This meant two people were using the gag filter, a horrifying thought.

[ Screech! ]

As the monster crawled forward, wailing.

Sizzle.

The liquid dripping from its body began to melt the ground. Though menacing, Lian wasn’t particularly afraid. Nor was he comfortable.

“Ugh… disgusting…”

As the mosaic-covered monster made strange noises and crawled forward, Lian threw his demon sword in disgust.

[ Whoa?! If you do that suddenly… Argh! ]

Not wanting to be thrown like a stone, the demon sword spun in midair, striking the monster’s center.

[ Screech! ]

Splat!

Black blood, presumably, spurted from the monster as the demon sword screamed.

[ Ugh! Disgusting! Gross! Partner, save me! ]

The demon sword wailed, writhing. Normally, Lian would have wanted to punch it, but the image of the sword as a cute maiden remained in his mind, so he approached and retrieved it.

[ I feel defiled… ]

Lian always wondered where it picked up such language.
