The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 67

Chapter 67: Earth

As her breath drew closer, Jung Minwoo felt his heart begin to race.

‘Get a grip, Jung Minwoo!’

Jung Minwoo took a deep breath, trying to calm his pounding heart, but…

Thump, thump, thump—

Unfortunately, his heart showed no signs of calming down.

‘…I handled the seduction back at the academy just fine, so why am I like this?’

If he thought about it, it was the same situation as back then, just with different clothes.

But there was one crucial difference.

It was the fact that Jung Minwoo and Venus currently harbored feelings for each other.

‘…What is this? What’s so different from back then?’

T h i s w as c o pi e d f r o m ki ng m t l . or g
However, even the brilliant Jung Minwoo couldn’t think straight with his heart malfunctioning like this.

Just as he was about to delve into the problem,

“…Minwoo-nim.”

Venus’s body drew closer to him.

And as her breath was about to reach him,

‘Ha, is this my limit?’

Jung Minwoo felt his reason slipping away. The moment he was about to wrap his arms around her waist,

“…Are you free tomorrow by any chance?”

“Hmm?”

“If you are, would you like to go on a date with me… just the two of us…?”

“Hmm???”

Words different from his expectations(?) came out of Venus’s mouth.

“…”

Jung Minwoo felt a strange sense of disappointment and his heart calming down.

‘Is this really all she wanted?’

Jung Minwoo decided to check her true intentions and used Mind’s Eye.

【I’m so nervous… What if he rejects me?】

Letters combined above her head, forming Venus’s thoughts into text.

‘She really came to ask me out on a date…’

After checking, it turned out he was the only one with impure intentions.

‘I’ve got a serious case of lustful demons in my head.’

Jung Minwoo felt ridiculous and let out a chuckle.

“Ah, do you not want to…?”

Perhaps mistaking his chuckle for something else, Venus’s face turned pale.

“Ah, I was lost in thought and laughed. Don’t misunderstand.”

“Ah, that’s what it was.”

Relieved by Jung Minwoo’s explanation, Venus sighed and her expression brightened again.

“But I’m a bit busy tomorrow.”

“Ah…”

Venus’s face darkened again at Jung Minwoo’s following words.

“But I’m free the day after tomorrow. Are you free then?”

“Yes? Yes! I’m free then!”

Her face immediately lit up again after securing the date.

‘Her reactions are amusing. Should I tease her a bit?’

Jung Minwoo decided to tease her a little since he was reluctant to let her go just yet.

“By the way, why are you hanging your head like that? It’s not like you.”
T h i s wa s c o p ie d f r o m k i n g m t l . o r g

When Jung Minwoo stroked Venus’s hair with a concerned voice,

“Hic!”

Venus’s face turned red, as if it were about to explode.

‘Hmm? I feel a strong heat coming from her head?’

He was having a silly thought that she could be used as a hot pack when,

“Uuuh…”

Venus trembled, mumbling incoherently.

“What’s wrong? Are you sick?”

Jung Minwoo asked in a worried voice as if he didn’t know anything.

“I-I’ll be going now!”

Venus turned around abruptly and,

Slam—!

She stormed out, slamming the door shut.
T h is was c o p i ed fr o m k i n g m tl . o r g

“Cute.”

Jung Minwoo chuckled and was about to go to bed when,

Creak—

The door opened slightly again.

“…Goodnight.”

Venus bid him goodnight with trembling eyes.

“Goodnight to you too.”

Jung Minwoo returned the greeting.

“…Yes.”

Click—

Venus nodded and carefully closed the door.

“Hmm, what should I do in the Demon World in two days?”

Jung Minwoo pondered for a moment about what to do in the Demon World before falling asleep.

The next day.

As soon as the sun rose, Jung Minwoo headed straight to the Grand Library.

As he entered the building,

“Are you looking for something?”

The librarian asked if he was looking for any books.

“I’m not looking for anything specific. I’d like to see some books related to planets.”

At Jung Minwoo’s words, the librarian pointed to one side and said,

“You can find books related to planets over there.”

When Jung Minwoo looked in the direction the librarian pointed,

‘…There are too many books!’

He could see a daunting number of books piled up under a sign that read ‘Planets’.

‘…This is definitely not an amount I can go through in a day.’

It seemed like it would take him more than a year to find what he was looking for if he was serious about it.
T h i s w a s cop i e d fro m k i n gm t l . org

Seeing him hesitate, the librarian smiled and said,

“Demons of 6th Rank or higher are provided with a private reading room where the books are organized. Would you like to use it?”

Jung Minwoo almost nodded without realizing it at her suggestion, but,

‘I need to check if the security is good first.’

He needed to be careful because if there was a record of his search in the reading room, he could be caught.

“If I use the reading room, will there be any records left?”

The librarian nodded at Jung Minwoo’s question and answered,

“There will be a record of you entering the reading room, but to protect your privacy, we don’t keep track of what you read.”

“Then please, I’d like to use it.”

Since there was no record of what he read, Jung Minwoo had no reason to refuse and immediately expressed his intention to use the reading room.

“Take this key and go to room 459 on the 4th floor.”

Jung Minwoo received the key, thanked her, and headed to the 4th floor.

He then used the key card to enter the room marked 459.

‘Just one monitor. Simple.’

There was a comfortable chair and a monitor prepared.

‘…Alright, let’s search right away.’

Jung Minwoo placed his hands on the keyboard to start searching.

‘Hoo… Why am I so nervous?’

Perhaps it was because he could finally see information about Earth, but a slight tension ran through his body.

After a brief, deep breath, he typed ‘Earth’ in the search bar.

[Earth]. [Catullan]

Two search results popped up.

‘Hmm? Catullan? What’s this?’

Jung Minwoo was puzzled by the unrelated search result, but then,

‘It must be a mistake.’

He didn’t think much of it and clicked on ‘Earth’.

The screen changed and sentences appeared.

— Earth is classified as a ‘special’ planet.

‘A planet classified as special?’

Jung Minwoo tilted his head after confirming the first sentence.

‘There’s nothing particularly special about it, is there?’

Jung Minwoo decided to check the contents further and moved his gaze to the next sentence.

— Unlike other planets, this planet has no mana and its time axis flows 10 times faster.
T h i s wa s c o p i e d f r om ki n g m t l. o r g

“…”

Jung Minwoo felt his heart sink after reading the next sentence.

‘T-Time flows 10 times faster?’

This meant that almost 10 years had passed on Earth.

‘C-Calm down. My parents and sister are still alive. It’s not too late to think about it after reading everything.’

Jung Minwoo calmed his confused emotions and moved on to the next sentence with trembling eyes.

— The human race dominates the planet, but due to the lack of mana, they are weaker than the human race on other planets.

However, they have the advantage of being far more intelligent than other human races.

‘More intelligent than other human races?’

Jung Minwoo felt that things were going too smoothly while running the Demon Empire.
T h i s w a s c o pi e d f r om k in gm t l . o rg

At first, he thought it was because he became a demon and his intelligence increased, but it turned out that his intelligence was a little lower than that of humans living on Earth.

— Due to the lack of mana, they are easily swayed by the words of immortals.

Also, perhaps because of their superior brains, they emit more holy power and demonic energy than other races, showing incredible efficiency.

‘Is this why there were so many angels and demons in the literature…?’

Even on the planet Yurain, the number of angels and demons could be counted on one hand, but there were too many angels and demons that appeared on Earth.

‘…But why haven’t they shown themselves recently?’

Unlike the past, when angels and demons were actively involved because of their efficiency, they haven’t been seen in modern times.

‘There must be a reason…’

Jung Minwoo had a hunch that there was a hidden reason he didn’t know about and quickly scrolled down.

As he reached the last page,

— The planet ‘Earth’ is currently entering the stage of merging with the planet ‘Catullan’.

As it entered the merging stage, immortals have withdrawn their hands from the planet.

He could see why angels and demons haven’t appeared.

‘They withdrew their hands because it entered the merging stage…?’

Angels and demons disappeared around the Middle Ages, so it would be safe to assume that the merging stage began then.

‘The merging planet is Catullan… Come to think of it, it appeared together in the search results, didn’t it?’

Jung Minwoo finally realized why Catullan appeared in the search results.

‘But why are the planets merging?’

Th i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i n g m t l .or g
Since he was only reading about Earth, there was no explanation for the reason for the merging.

‘I should search for it.’

Jung Minwoo opened another window, searched for ‘planetary merging’, and looked for the reason for the merging.

— The reason for planetary merging is simple.

A planet that is being destroyed due to lack of mana and a planet that is about to explode due to excessive mana merge to balance each other out.
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f rom ki n g m tl . o r g

‘To balance each other out…’

He wasn’t happy about merging with another planet, but he decided to focus on the fact that the planet where his parents lived wouldn’t be destroyed.

‘How long does it take to merge?’

He scrolled down to check how long it would take.

— Planets that have entered the merging preparation stage have a time axis that flows 100 times slower, and the merging time varies from planet to planet, so refer to related literature.

He couldn’t find out the time, but Jung Minwoo was able to obtain more valuable information.

‘Time flows 100 times slower… That’s a relief.’

This meant that even if 100 years passed, only 1 year would pass on Earth.

‘Then, what kind of place is the planet Catullan?’

Since there would be higher beings there as well, he needed to figure out what kind of race lived there.

T h i s w a s c o p i e d fr o m k i n g m t l . o rg
He opened another window and clicked on Catullan.

— A planet inhabited only by monsters.

A short and clear sentence appeared on the screen.

‘A planet inhabited only by monsters…?’

Jung Minwoo had a hunch that there would be chaos after the planetary merging was complete.

‘…I need to somehow intervene and protect my family at least.’

Monsters were weak creatures that he could kill with his little finger, but,

‘It’s different for humans.’

They were like a disaster to humans.

‘High-ranking monsters wouldn’t even be affected by nukes.’

In other words, humanity could be driven to extinction without being able to do anything.

‘First, it’s important to find out how much time is left.’

Jung Minwoo closed the window, reopened the window he was originally looking at, and checked the contents.

— Time remaining until the merging is complete: 501 years, 32 hours, 44 minutes, 34 seconds.

He could see exactly how much time was left.

5 years in Earth time.

Th i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m ki n g mt l .o rg
‘500 years…’

Jung Minwoo stroked his chin and checked the last sentence.

— After the merging is complete, the planet needs to regain stability, so only those with a rank of ‘Demon Lord’ or higher are allowed to interfere with the planet.

‘Another reason why I need to become a Demon Lord.’

Jung Minwoo resolved to become a Demon Lord within 500 years and closed the window.

‘I need to prepare the play properly.’

Jung Minwoo was determined to somehow accept Baal’s bet at Satan’s birthday next month.
