I'm the Only Totem in Another World - Chapter 50
Chapter 50: Birth of the Totem Guardian (2)
Why can’t Paladins earn points?
Because they serve a different god? That’s not it.
The Goddess’ followers also earned points when they killed infected.
Because they’re possessed? Are Paladins warriors only for the Goddess?
There’s no way to find out this time either.
…I just had a bad feeling.
A feeling that they can’t earn points because they’re not ‘allies’.
[Not a Netkama: What are you doing? I’m bored]
I got a message from Hana.
[Just doing nothing]
My slightly frustrated mind made it hard to answer easily.
* * * * * *
[Close-Range Spy: Princess Dina, shut up and read this. I’ll just say one thing.
ㅇㅇ: “Buhihi~ Got caught hook, line, and sinker again~!”
Cho Wol Ja: “Oh my, Goja Buro. Take care of it today too.”
Goja Buro: “…”
ㅇㅇ: “Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Why do I have to die! Do you have the right to kill me?!”
Cho Wol Ja: “Ara ara~ You’ve worked hard again today, Goja Buro.”
Goja Buro: “…Master… I have a question…”
Goja Buro: “Why should I listen to you? Why should I kill? What are you…?”
Cho Wol Ja: “Hey, Goja Buro. When did I ever say you could ask questions without permission? (Eyes flash with murderous intent)”
Goja Buro: “…That woman who was screaming in the Death Room you made… who is she…?”
Goja Buro: “Who is she…?… Who… (Faints, overwhelmed by Cho Wol Ja’s powerful magic)”]
Ah, it was Goja Buro episode 4.
Honestly, this is something you can’t help but fall for even if you know it’s a trap.
[I Trusted the Monkey Man but: What the fuck, why is this bait?]
[Brahmanda: That’s a real crazy bastard.]
[Fallen Power Knight: Why the hell are you doing this?]
ㄴ [If I Use the President’s Power: Why, you ask… Well… ‘Because it’s fun’…? Why? Do you think Close-Range Spy has gone crazy?]
ㄴ [Takashikakashi: Why does this idiot President only repeat cartoon lines? Are you a NEET?]
[3 Reps 500: Someone take this guy’s community access away.]
[Seonggiseonggisa: Hello Goja Buro~! How. Have. You. Been~?!]
[Not a Netkama: This is why George’s raid team ignored you. You’re half responsible for their deaths.]
ㄴ [Close-Range Spy: That’s a bit harsh;;]
ㄴ [Shotgun Attack: LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL That’s fucking funny LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL]
ㄴ [Bangguseok Choseon: That hit hard, didn’t it?]
ㄴ [I Trusted the Monkey Man but: Ah, that feels good. This is what a community is for LOL]
Hana, you did well this time.
Of course, dragging George’s raid team into it was a ‘psychopathic idea’, but still.
I closed the community and looked around.
The Tribal Federation is currently busy relocating its headquarters.
Everyone is carrying their belongings and heading down the mountain.
“Grandpa Harry! Be careful moving it! It’s the first totem I made for Malak-nim!”
Totem No. 1, the largest and heaviest totem in the Tribal Federation, was carried by the Rock Golem.
“Don’t worry. I’m doing it even without you telling me.”
Harry smiles at Paya’s words. Harry’s eyes looking at Paya were warm.
Is he being soft because she’s a girl around the same age as his granddaughter?
Paya also treats Harry as a neighborhood grandpa, or rather, an elder.
It’s a good relationship for a civilized person and a barbarian.
“Paya-ssi. Can I ride Tteunteuni too? I feel like I’m going to faint from exhaustion…”
Luna, sweating profusely as she walks next to Harry, looks at Paya riding comfortably on Tteunteuni.
“I’d really like to give you a ride, but I don’t think it’ll work because you’re heavy.”
“I’m not heavy…”
“Ah, I didn’t mean it like that. Tteunteuni is still young and weak, so it’s difficult.”
“Ugh…”
“I’ll carry you on my back.”
“No, Grandpa, you’re tired too… I’ll try to walk…”
The little friend is dying.
The combination of a mage, a symbol of lack of stamina, and an immature body is this fatal.
It seems like someone needs to carry her.
“Young civilized one. You make weak sounds.”
Una, Kanto’s left hand and master of spear throwing, approaches Luna.
“I’m really tired…”
Luna, even more exhausted than before, said tearfully.
“Get on my back, kid.”
“Huh?!”
Luna’s surprise is understandable. Una’s body was as small as Luna’s.
She was momentarily flustered because a short, skinny woman offered to carry her.
“What’s with that look? I’m a warrior. I’m different from you weak civilized people.”
Una is quite strong too. She couldn’t throw a spear that far without strength.
“…Excuse me.”
Luna, after contemplating, got on Una’s back.
“Kid, what’s your name? I haven’t called your name once all this time.”
“It’s Luna Winston. I’m curious about your name too, Unni.”
“I’m Una, daughter of Deduwa and Sanu.”
“I saw you throwing spears, Unni! You always hit the target in one shot, it’s so cool!”
“…R, Really?”
To close the distance so easily, Luna is quite sociable too.
It would be nice if these two became friends.
The Tribal Federation’s great migration was easier than expected.
We subjugated three villages on the way, and some of them had prepared strange magic as if they were expecting us.
‘This energy… They’ve deployed suspicious magic. Trust only me.’
Of course, we neutralized them all with Harry’s ‘Magic Disruption Device’. He repaired and slightly improved the one that was broken because of the Orangutan Demon.
It’s no exaggeration to call it an EMP in a fantasy world.
‘Many demons don’t understand and apply magic, they just use it simply like throwing weapons. They complete spells faster than wizards, but the density and precision are significantly lower.
That’s why it can be countered with a simple device like this. It’s the difference between demons who didn’t develop their talents despite having them, and humans who put in effort despite lacking them.’
He said that, but I didn’t fully understand everything he said.
Only Paya and Muri nodded at that time.
This fraudulent device is close to being disposable, and after using it more than three times, the circuit burns out and it becomes unusable.
We’ll mass-produce it later when we get more materials. Anyway, it’s Harry who’s doing the hard work.
At that time, I’m thinking of supplying it to the Golden Sun and Ashgrey Fog Tribes as well.
Ah, while subjugating the villages, I also roughly checked the ‘Totem Guardian’ blessing I bestowed upon Rake.
The stat increase effect is definite, although it’s limited to the vicinity of the totem.
‘I can now defeat those things without weapons.’
Now Rake can beat a low-ranking demon to death with her bare hands without her scimitar.
She would beat them up like Kanto’s disciplinary action (physical therapy) and then snap their necks, it was pitiful to see the demons.
‘You said the efficiency of the blessings I receive also increases? I’ll test that too.’
I was a bit scared when she deliberately offered her thigh to a demon while saying that.
She must have done it because she trusts me, but I’d appreciate it if she refrained from doing dangerous things.
I immediately used Healing Touch, and the wound healed in seconds.
I think this blessing is a late-game oriented skill.
Right now, it’s just Healing Touch, but later on, I’ll be able to support with various blessings.
That’s when the true value of ‘Totem Guardian’ will be revealed.
━ Let’s take a short rest. Those who are tired, come here and receive my healing.

The Tribal Federation, having finished its painful march, entered its new headquarters.
“We’ve finally arrived!”
“From today onwards, this is the Tribal Federation!”
As soon as they arrived, the barbarians planted our Tribal Federation flag on the flagpole atop the castle.
Flutter~!
This isn’t even nationalism or anything.
“I can feel Malak-nim’s majesty! Did you make this?”
“Hahaha! How did you know I made it! As expected, you can’t hide it even if you try!”
“Your artistic sense is truly outstanding! Uhahahaha!”
The two barbarian men who climbed to the top of the castle to hang the flag are laughing heartily.
They’re really making a fuss. What majesty, it’s freezing to death.
It’s not even a properly made flag, it’s just a cowhide with a long monster drawn on it with charcoal, I don’t know if it’s a worm or a snake.
When I asked what this monstrosity was, they confidently said it was me.
Looking at it again, it has two horns on its head.
Did they draw this as an Eastern dragon now…
“Everyone is unfamiliar and awkward. It seems we’ll have to go through an adaptation process for a while. How about giving everyone enough rest for a few days?”
Muri, the eldest of the Tribal Federation, offered advice.
That’s what I was thinking from the beginning.
━ Let’s do that. For matters related to the city, seek the help of the civilized people, Harry and Luna.
Even if Luna doesn’t know much, Harry must know a lot of things.
Ah, there’s really a lot to do, but there are few people who know well.
We’ll have to restart the facilities abandoned by the demons and their worshippers someday.
Barbarians are terrible at everything except hunting and fighting, so this part is difficult.
…I wonder if there’s a territory management expert in the community?
Or maybe there’s a user who established a territory here.
While having such useless thoughts, I logged into the community.
A few new users have joined. Someone else died…
I read the new users’ posts, wondering if there was anything I could help with.
[Atomic Rex: Are you all Paladins?
I’m not.
I’m not even human.]
What?
