I'm the Only Totem in Another World - Chapter 109

Chapter 109: Bangguseok Choseon （1）

I accessed the community. There were a few things to check.

[Love Death Cat: Meow meow meow~! （Thinking about lunch today）]

[Shotgun Attack: These days, I live for Petit Noah’s Tribal Federation series]

[Brahmanda: I’m raising rats]

[3Reps500: Is there no way to raise stats other than skills? If there’s a status window, they should show stats too…]

[I Trusted the Monkey Man but: Seongbung moment in real-time…discovered a family hiding out]

[Goollreu: It seems like the demons have quieted down a bit since that Malak or whatever appeared, is it just me?]

[One Piece: ‘Capital’]

These are the posts from today. I saw a few that caught my interest.

Shall we take a look? I can check them slowly anyway.

Gathering information is important too, so this is definitely not procrastination. Right, of course.

[Brahmanda: I’m raising rats these days

I caught a group of rats using the collection box I made last time. There are about seven of them, and they were easily lured in with a few peanuts.

They’re no different from the rats on Earth. They’re a bit bigger, so they seem to be a type of sewer rat. Of course, there were no infected. I pricked them slightly with a needle and checked their blood color, so I’m sure.

I’m currently raising them in a glass tank. I give them a few nuts every morning and evening, and it’s quite cute how they hold them with their two front paws and nibble on them.

I raised them to eat meat without hunting, like raising chickens or pigs…but it’s a bit… I was going to eat a few after they grew up a bit more and had babies, but it’s not easy. Even though I know I shouldn’t get attached, it’s hard not to.

I think they recognize me too. Whenever I come, they perk up their ears and stand on their hind legs, reminding me of the dog I used to raise.

It might seem like a trivial concern, but I felt suffocated and wrote a few words.

（Picture of rats staring blankly at the camera from inside a tank with air holes）

Could you guys eat them? They’re so cute?]

The dog he used to raise must be the one he mentioned died while raising it when he was explaining things to stop Abraham’s suicide show.

He really loves animals.

Most of the comments were reactions like “Are you crazy?”, “You’re being ridiculous”, “Discard your weak mind”. They probably think he’s worrying about useless things in this terrible world.

I think a little differently.

There was a user with the nickname ‘Even a Wildflower’ who once asked for help on the community, saying he hadn’t eaten anything for two days.

While everyone else ignored him, Brahmanda left a comment saying he would share his food and to contact him via private message.

I don’t know if he kept his word or not, since the rest of the conversation was through private messages, but one thing is for sure.

[Even a Wildflower: The trees are growing rapidly, maybe because of the rain]

[Even a Wildflower: It’s been raining a lot lately. Is the sky being fickle?]

These are posts from a few days ago. The user who was worried about starving to death is still alive. I think he received food.

I’m not saying Brahmanda is a good person. It’s just that he’s in a stable enough situation to share his food with others. He might be able to be self-sufficient to some extent.

Can’t you feel his abundance from the fact that he has nuts to feed the rats in the first place? He can afford to be generous because his situation is not bad.

[Ultra Sanz Crazed for Nighttime Massacre Mode: Pet go go]

ㄴ [Ultra Sanz Crazed for Nighttime Massacre Mode: Use them as demon or cultist detectors. Rats have excellent senses like smell. Even when there’s an earthquake or disaster, rats are the first to escape]

It seems Brahmanda has already decided to raise them as pets. In this case, the best thing to do is to tell him about the practicality of rats.

‘They are useless and only eat food, but I raise them because they’re cute’ is less comforting than ‘They are useful and cute, so I raise them’. It’s my way of being considerate to the kind user, Brahmanda.

Feeling proud of doing a good deed, I read the next post.

[I Trusted the Monkey Man but: Seongbung moment in real-time…discovered a family hiding out

I went into a cave in the mountain, and there was a family already living there;;

There are four of them, dad, mom, daughter, and son, and maybe because I’m a Paladin, they weren’t too hostile.

It’s raining, and I’ve been walking for a long time, so I went inside the cave to rest for a bit, but the dad’s expression is not good, damn it lol

He’s speaking very politely, but what he’s saying is basically ‘Please leave. This is our home. We have very little food.’ All that kind of stuff.

Damn, what should I do? I can’t go back to my old house because it was destroyed by the flood;;

What should I do? Kick them out? Or should I try to persuade them?]

His house was flooded. Come to think of it, the user ‘Even a Wildflower’ also mentioned that it rained a lot.

I heard it rained heavily during the week I was unconscious. There were even days when it rained all day long.

…This is actually my fault.

I used ‘Malak’s Domain’ while in an ‘Unstable Manifestation’ state. When I used it, the sky only shimmered, but it seems to have had some effect afterwards.

I should be thankful that there wasn’t any thunder and lightning.

It’s hard for me to give advice on this. I just hope he doesn’t kill the family.

I hope they can find some kind of compromise.

[One Piece: ‘Capital’

（Picture of a building covered in bizarre vines that look like black tentacles）

I took this picture and ran away immediately.

Don’t go to the Capital.]

━ Comments ━

[Goollreu: It’s completely soaked in demonic energy]

[Dairy Cow Bikini Dance: What’s with the tentacles? Is that building alive and moving?]

[3Reps500: I shouldn’t even pee in that direction]

The Capital… I heard there’s a powerful demon living there, comparable to the Dark Cloud Demon, but I didn’t know what kind of hell it was.

Looking at the seemingly eroded building, I can feel the danger to some extent.

I have to go there someday to destroy the dimensional gate in the Capital to end this journey, but I need to be thoroughly prepared.

Now, let’s accomplish the purpose of coming to the community.

I searched for ‘Reno Johnson’ in the search bar. There are no recent posts…

But I can’t let my guard down. There might be other Paladins being controlled by him.

I checked to see if there were any users who spoke in an unnecessarily archaic way like Karon or used an old-fashioned slang.

[Ah Haeng Haeng: Oh my~~, my…

Every morning, my dick should be standing up~~!

It’s not standing up~~~ ^^; Oh my, is something wrong~~~;;

What a disgrace~ Oh my~]

Hmm.

[Four Emperors Jinan: Mortals

This body is starving

If you do not offer a sacrifice

You must be prepared for annihilation

With my shining teeth

I will deliver merciless judgment

Death shall be repaid with death,

Obedience with happiness

If you do not wish to incur the wrath of the Four Dragons

Act now]

Um.

Karon is not here. At least it seems he didn’t leave any posts using controlled Paladins to test the waters.

Maybe he got burned so badly after that family insult incident that he’s not even lurking anymore?

If not, he must have completely adapted to the community and learned to speak normally, but that’s even harder to believe.

Would that serious old geezer put that much effort into this space? I don’t think so.

Lastly, let’s send a message to Bangguseok Choseon.

[Hi]

[Heard about the situation from Petit Noah and Malak-nim]

The answer arrived 5 minutes later.

[Bangguseok Choseon: Wow]

[Bangguseok Choseon: It’s really you, Messenger-nim, right?]

[Yes]

[Bangguseok Choseon: Amazing]

[Is it okay if I ask a few things?]

[Malak-nim asked me to do so]

[Bangguseok Choseon: Oh, it’s fine]

I asked her about the area where she was, the location of the church, the appearance and characteristics of the demons, etc.

If they’re zombies, we can tell by their red glowing eyes or something.

[Bangguseok Choseon: I haven’t seen them directly. As soon as the Pope sensed their presence, everyone hid in the basement…]

At least I found the location.

[Okay, okay]

No matter how I look at it, her way of speaking is not Karon’s. All the doubts I had until the end have been cleared.

[Are the Pope and the followers doing okay?]

[Bangguseok Choseon: Everyone is lying down to minimize movement]

[Bangguseok Choseon: They were very happy to hear that Malak-nim would come hehe]

[From now on, contact me instead of Petit Noah]

[I have a direct line, so information transmission is faster]

[Bangguseok Choseon: Ah, okay!]

[I’ll contact you again when I’m close enough]

[Bangguseok Choseon: Thank you!]

Good. Preparations are all complete. Now I just need to choose who to take with me.

First of all, Rake, my guardian, definitely has to come… and who else?

Kanto and the warriors need to be put on auto-hunting, and mages like Luna and Harry have low stamina, so they’re out.

It’s better to station Asha at the headquarters in case of an attack. Then who should I take?

It was while I was thinking about this.

“Um… I really want to go too. Bangguseok Choseon is my first friend… and I want to level up a lot… can’t I go?”

Noah timidly expressed her desire to participate.

“Tteunteuni can carry four or five people on his back now.”

As if she was waiting, Paya also steps forward. She’s the one who occasionally complained that it’s been too long since we fought together. She wouldn’t want to miss this opportunity.

I ended up having to take two minors with me. They both have a lot of combat experience, so will it be okay?
