I'm the Only One With a Different Genre - Chapter 124

Chapter 124
The Attack of the Gag Residents

The moment Lian’s voice reached him, the man almost collapsed from shock, his legs nearly giving out. It was all because of the horrific “results” he had witnessed on the lower floors.

The man, notable for his mustache, instinctively recalled the hell he had just witnessed and endured.

***

The man, having just left the lab where Noah was held, encountered a woman in casual attire on his way to the main laboratory.

“Oh! Hello there! Excuse me, but can you tell me how to get to Bucheon Station?”

At a glance, the woman didn’t appear to be a researcher or a test subject. This meant she was an intruder.

“Is she a madwoman? Get rid of her quickly!”

Under normal circumstances, he would have tried to capture her for information, but time was of the essence, so he ordered her to be killed. His command led to a gruesome outcome.

T h i s w as co p i ed f r om k i n g mt l . o rg
“Ah! Why are you doing this?”

At the moment of the attack with black magic and a sword, the woman screamed and swung a small bag she was holding.

Crack!

The person hit by the bag had their neck broken and died. The gust of wind from the bag’s swing sent researchers flying into the walls, their lives ending instantly.

Realizing things were going awry, the man quickly fled with a few researchers. The screams of those left behind echoed down the corridor as he retreated.

Upon reaching the lab, he was first met with the sight of tiny human-like creatures wielding toothpick-like swords, running around and shouting, “War! Victory! Woohoo!”

They clung to the researchers, stabbing them all over. If the gag filter had been in effect, it might have only tickled, but this was a world of dark fantasy.

Having just one of those tiny creatures wasn’t a problem, but their numbers exceeded a thousand. Like swarms of ants, they clung to the researchers, mercilessly slashing with sharp blades.

Although the blades were no more than toothpicks, they were sharp enough that the researchers were soon covered in blood.

Next came the dog.

“Growl! Bark bark bark!”

The ferocious-looking dog had a strangely attached leash that dragged behind it, as if its owner had lost grip.

The dog chased after a researcher and bit his backside. In the gag world, the scene would end with a comedic “Ouch!” and the researcher flying into the air, but here, the flesh was torn away.

Bang! Crash! Boom!

A man with gravity-defying orange hair barreled through, smashing walls and devices without mercy.

T h is w a s c o p i e d f r om k i ng m t l . or g
“Hahahaha! Nothing can stop me!”

Stranger still, the man’s eyes burned with flames. Running with an untroubled expression, his appearance was bizarre and unsettling.

“Caw, caw…”

A bird with unnaturally large eyes and tiny pupils screeched unpleasantly, dropping white droppings on the researchers below.

A researcher hit by the droppings seemed to suffer a sudden loss of luck, tripping and cracking their head on a desk corner, staggering into the gravity-defying man, and being sent flying.

Normally, such encounters with the spirited man would lead to a starry sky scene, but in this dark fantasy world, it ended with them smashing into a wall, becoming a mosaic.

“Eek! Die!”

The researchers here were all skilled dark wizards, and they quickly attempted to strike down their opponents with black magic. Their attacks converged as if sucked into a black hole.

In the midst of it was a man whose sleeves fluttered with lace and whose eyes sparkled like dozens of inlaid jewels. The flamboyant man flipped his hands over his head and twisted his waist.

“Huh, move move ~”

With an infuriating hip thrust, he dodged all the attacks effortlessly and winked.

“Try harder to hit my heart ~”

The dark wizards, witnessing this, lost their minds entirely, firing magic wildly. Their rage caused their own magic energy to backflow, and they collapsed, foaming at the mouth.

“Oh! This looks useful!”

Elsewhere, a two-meter-tall man, resembling an orc with his muscular build, grinned as he hoisted a glass capsule and began squatting.

“Aah -.. This isn’t enough!”

Grabbing a passing researcher, he shoved them into the capsule and crushed his thighs. When he felt a bit more comfortable, he grabbed more researchers to stuff inside.

The problem was that he wasn’t just adding researchers. He also grabbed other bizarre test subjects and threw them into the glass capsule indiscriminately.

In the gag world, the capsule full of people would just show a crowded scene like a subway during rush hour with no harm, but here… the sound of bodies being crushed and bones breaking echoed.

Even those who had conducted all sorts of cruel experiments were horrified by the hellish scene.

‘Tch! This has gotten troublesome. But… it’s quite fascinating. How did such results come about?’

Even amidst the chaos, the mustached man wasn’t particularly frightened. After all, the results he intended to create were more terrifying than those monstrosities.

‘I need to organize and investigate the test subjects first. At this rate, we’ll run out of manpower.’

The outcome they aimed to produce was the ultimate weapon, and they had prepared for such situations. This was why he could afford to act leisurely.

T h i s w a s co p i e d fr o m king m tl . or g
Despite knowing how to resolve the situation, he watched the researchers die to weaken the power structure within the lab.

Even if the situation was resolved, the dead researchers wouldn’t return, and the threefold power structure would collapse. This meant the man’s power would grow stronger.

However, if too many researchers died, the pace of the research would slow, so he decided to wrap things up soon.

He used a magic tool, and his presence vanished instantly.

‘It was over there, I’m sure.’

T h is w a s c o p i ed from ki ng m tl . o rg
He moved immediately to activate the emergency system. Soon, he arrived at a room tucked away in the lab. He was about to open the door when he hesitated.
T his w a s c o p i ed f r o m k i n gm tl. o r g

‘Wait a minute. Why hasn’t anyone activated the emergency system?’

No matter how chaotic the situation, it made no sense for none of the numerous researchers to trigger the emergency system. As that thought crossed his mind.

“Aaaah! S-save me… gurgle…!”

T h i s wa s co p ie d f rom k i n g m t l . o r g
“…!”

Terrifying screams began echoing from inside. It was a familiar voice. It was the chief researcher’s scream.

‘Could it be… not that they didn’t activate it, but they couldn’t…?’

T h i s wa s c o p i e d f r o m ki n g mt l . o r g
The position of chief researcher wasn’t one just anyone could hold. Even if they weren’t as strong as him, they were still a formidable dark wizard. Hearing the scream of such a chief researcher made the man’s eyes waver.

‘Even so, I need to activate the emergency system.’

With a determined expression, he activated all the magic tools he had, layering protection spells over himself.

‘Get in there as quickly as possible…’

After running through his plan several times in his mind, he opened the door with a click.

Creak…

The door opened like a scene from a horror movie.
Thi s w as c opie d f ro m ki n g mt l . o rg

The first thing he saw was the face of a round middle-aged man with white curly hair and small glasses. The man was a cyborg with half of his face made of machinery. The mustached man froze, seeing a cyborg for the first time in his life.

The cyborg, or rather, mad scientist, tilted his head while holding a drill, looking down at a corpse whose organs were messily crushed and scattered.

“Hmm, why do they keep dying? I don’t understand.”

Tilting his head in apparent confusion, the mad scientist clicked his tongue and said,

“Oh well, I need to find a new test subject.”

The man casually picked up the body on the desk and tossed it into a pile of other corpses with a splat.

“Now, let’s find a new test subject… Oh? How fortunate!”

The man grinned brightly, locking eyes with the mustached man.

“A test subject walking in on its own! Today is a lucky day!”

The man’s eyes gleamed with madness. The mustached man had encountered many crazy researchers, but never one as insane as this.

Unconsciously, he took a step back.

“Now, now.”

The mad scientist pulled out a controller from inside his clothes and pressed several buttons. The floor split open with a buzz, and mechanical arms shot out towards the man.

Ting!

The pre-cast spell deflected the mechanical hand. Just as he felt relieved, one layer of his protective spell shattered.

“W-what?!”

The shield, capable of withstanding at least three hits from a 5th-circle spell, shattered from a single odd hand. His eyes shook like a storm-tossed sea.

Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting!

The hands rapidly approached, smashing through the shield indiscriminately.

“Hehehe!”

The mad scientist’s manic laughter was enough to make the man faint.

***

Thanks to the pre-used magic tools, he was dragged onto the desk but managed to escape.

“Won’t you do something fun with me?”

T h i s w a s c opi e d f r o m ki n g m t l . or g
Somewhere along the way, he was attacked by a cross-dressing man, lost consciousness, and was captured by the mad scientist, only to escape again.

Even afterwards, he barely made it here, shaking off unspeakable horrors.

The stranger’s voice was enough to terrify him in such circumstances. He turned around cautiously, trembling.

“Gasp…!”

Th i s w a s c o p ied f ro m kin g m t l . or g
The man’s dimming vision was suddenly filled with light.

‘It was still there!’

The essential material for creating a combat weapon, the Spirit King, was attached to a human body. His face became washed with delight.

‘Yes! With that, I can recreate the combat weapon quickly!’

Failing to recognize the father(?) of those bizarre entities he had feared, he ended up making a foolish choice.

End of Chapter.
