Chapter 88 – 88. New Catastrophe Updated (Fixed)
Before 12 noon, I came up to the roof.
Looking outside, I plan to select the achievement achievement reward.
By the way, everyone has finished leveling up. After taking a bath, they faced each other face-to-face and chose their skills. Everyone was happy saying that they had leveled up after a long time.
And this time, at level 16, Mer’s magic stat became 99. Unfortunately, I couldn’t fill 100 due to lack of 1, but it’s still a fairly high stat. All stats are in their 90s. I have high stats thanks to consuming two Naedan, but Mer is a stat gangster by nature, so I’m really reassured.
Maybe when you level up next time, your magic stat will break through 100 and you will be able to achieve the ‘Mana User’ achievement.
‘Since Mer is a warrior, there will be different achievement rewards than me.’
Mer’s overall stats are now higher than mine. Of course, except for my overwhelming magic stat.
‘Come to think of it… I think I accomplished something by drinking the juice of Nagaraja…’
As I was trying to get the achievement reward, I suddenly remembered that I hadn’t checked the ‘He Who Sheds Skin’ achievement reward. I found the achievement reward notification window that was pushed into the corner by other notification windows.
‘At that time, I forgot because of the great pain while evolving into a semi-reflex.’
First of all, I checked the reward for the achievement of ‘The One Who Sheds Skin’.
[Choose a reward.]
[0. Sesha’s Serum: When administered, sheds its skin 3 times. When you shed your last skin, you will get the body of the true Nagaraja.]
‘What kind of race is Nagaraja doing…? Are you a snake person?’
For now, I skipped it because I didn’t think it was a reward worth getting.
I was afraid that the word shed skin seemed to imply that the skin would be ripped off. If I administered it right away, I wondered if I would roll on the floor in pain for several hours, but if I did, I might not be able to cope with the update at 12 o’clock.
‘Keep it for now…’
Next, I chose the ‘overwhelming firepower’ achievement reward obtained after shooting Totzmir’s blunderbuss.
It seemed like an achievement that could be achieved by using weapons with higher firepower than expected.
[Choose a reward.]
[One. Full Metal Jacket: A single shot hand cannon. Whatever gets in the way breaks through.]
[2. Char Boom!: A round bomb. If you light it on fire, everything nearby will be blown away after 10 seconds.]
[3. Inferno: Throw at the one you hate most. The fire will not go out until death.]
Somehow they give war weapons as achievement rewards. I think it would be great when all of these things explode in one big shot.
‘The tsar boom is dead if it suddenly explodes after mismanagement. If the inferno, the incendiary bomb, gets caught up in it, it seems like the end will come. The item that seems to be the most stable is the full metal jacket, which is a hand cannon.’
I chose the full metal jacket. It is said to be capable of penetrating attacks, so it can be used as a last resort when facing enemies with a shield or solid monsters.
‘Next is the reward for subjugating a rotten fetus…’
[Choose a reward.]
[0. Rotten Fetal Umbilical Cord: An umbilical cord that cannot exist. If you burn it with fire, you can increase all stats by 10 points.]
This was an item for increasing stats. Of course, I intend to use it. Since his stats are higher than others, it would be nice to fight if he got higher.
‘If this happens, my stats will be higher than Mer’s again..’
With a happy heart, he chose the umbilical cord of the rotten fetus and immediately burned it with a salamander.
“Oh…”
As the smoke rose, the stats increased by 10. It seems that all stats will break through 100 soon. Wouldn’t another unusual achievement be achieved then?
“Brother, what are you doing there alone? What are you burning?”
“Ah, it’s Eunji.”
“Aren’t you picking up and eating something else by yourself?”
“Oh, no. It’s just that there were some burning zombie corpses… I was burning them.”
“Hmm… Oppa looks suspicious…”
“No. This time, I never really ate anything without saying anything.”
“Hmm… I get it. It’s colder than that, so hug me…”
“Yes. Come here.”
I quickly took Eunji into my arms. Eunji asks me if I’m eating something even if I can’t see it even a little bit because I pick up and eat strange things. I am not a mother raising a child.
Rather, what kind of image would I be to them? All of my girls think I pick up on anything.
Of course, I am grateful that you are always worried that there may be a threat to my safety.
“Sniff… Lord! I smell something baking! Is it a squid?”
“No! It’s a zombie corpse!”
“Ah…”
From afar, Harin came running, blowing her nose. Unfortunately, it is not a squid, but the umbilical cord of a rotten fetus.
She was struggling with pregnancy problems, but she said that I was fine and would try to find her way, and she barely comforted me. Still, it seems that she won’t be able to cum inside her for a while.
“Rather than that, did everyone go up on the roof? It will be 12 o’clock soon.”
“Heesun unnie went to the bathroom.”
“Aha.”
Except for Heesun noona, everyone went up to the roof. Aside from us, Awakeners who are with us tonight are also deployed all over the rooftop. The non-Awakened build a barricade downstairs and gather. They are not very useful in battle, so they are gathered in one place.
Some of the level 15 Awakeners, led by the Ha brothers, Sumin Hwang, and Eunjung Kang, are also waiting on the first floor.
We have done the best preparation possible. Now all we have to do is face disaster.
Soon, an update notification window popped up in front of me.
A new Monday has begun. A new disaster begins.
—
[Update completed!]
Greetings, survivors who are still alive!
It’s March soon. It feels like spring is about to begin! The cold might go away a little!
But really… Can you guys feel the spring vibes?
[Details related to the update]
1. Melting flesh.
As spring begins and the snow melts.
The flesh of some zombies melts.
They become skeletons, or skeleton soldiers.
Crackle! The white noise of moving skeletons colors the world!
Even dead bodies can be revived by thawing flesh as long as they are not mutilated!
Skeleton soldiers are much more intelligent than zombies and are divided into warriors, archers, and more!
2. A night when ears can be heard.
During the night, ghosts roam the streets.
Physical attacks are impervious to them.
Ghosts constantly drop sanity.
You must be prepared in case you are possessed or possessed.
Ghosts spawn especially in places where a lot of people have died.
These places are designated as psychic spots, and ghosts pop up every night.
3. Unification of zombie types.
All existing named objects are integrated into evolved zombies.
Normal zombies and special objects evolve into evolutionary zombies.
Now, only evolutionary zombies roam the world.
4. Banquet of the Dead
Field boss types are increased. They take the place of named objects.
The number of field bosses, which were previously only 3, has been increased to 5.
Field bosses now randomly spawn every night.
The dead gather around the field boss.
[List of field bosses]
[One. Rotten Embryo: Turns nearby corpses into meat golems.]
[2. Crawling Corpse Giant: Can’t die unless its head and heart are destroyed.]
[3. Contaminated Head: 40% chance to nullify the skill.]
[4. Awakened Gravekeeper: A dead man who fights with a shovel. It is very strong.]
[5. Eternal Mage: Absorbs life force. He is a master of magic.]
5. Ear gate opening.
On a specific day, at night, the afterlife and reality are connected.
A warning message will be sent on the day the ears are opened.
On the day the ghost gates are opened, the red moon rises in the night sky and the undead go into frenzy as a group.
The ghost gate opens in an unspecified place, and an endless army of the dead pours out of the ghost gate.
The Ghost Gate leads to one of the three afterlifes.
The lord of the afterlife pops out through the ghost gate.
The lords of the afterlife return to their bases when the sun rises.
[Lords of the afterlife]
[The Underworld: Myungwang crawls out into the world through the ghost gate. Myungwang is a skeleton reaper holding a scythe. If he is cut by his scythe, he will die a permanent death.]
[Purgatory: The ghost king flows out into the world through the ghost gate. The ghost king is the master of demons. She meets her permanent death when her soul is captured by her.]
[The Nether: Siwang walks out into the world through the ghost gate. Siwang is the lord of corpses. If his name is written on his roll, he will die a permanent death.]
If you can kill even one of them.
You will get a clue to end the first DLC-[Eternal Night].
6. Always on Sale Items.
Was the update too extreme?
I think so, the peddlers always have a few disaster preparedness items for sale.
Pedestrians now add 3 permanent items in addition to 6 restricted items.
3 ‘Tears of the Goddess’ that can heal wounds or diseases are sold.
Body defects cannot be regenerated, and chronic diseases cannot be cured.
We will sell 5 ‘ghost amulets’ that can withstand the mental attacks of ghosts.
If you want to spend the night in peace, definitely get it. There is an expiration date.
‘Dawn Seven’, a stimulant that can reduce fatigue, is sold in packs of 10.
You can go through one night without falling asleep. Overdose can cause death.
7. The Forest of the Missing.
As a result, most of the players have built groups.
So, we have prepared a special event to increase your survival rate even a little.
If your intimacy with the peddler exceeds a certain level, you will hear a ‘rumor’ about the forest where the treasure is hidden.
If you pay an information fee to the peddler, you can enter the event dungeon where 2 people can enter together.
Forest of the Missing is an event held on a server-by-server basis.
Please compete and cooperate to find the ‘gentleman’ in the forest of the missing.
If someone acquires the ‘Idol of God’ at the shrine, it will be possible to find a way out and escape.
When using an idol of a god, it is possible to ‘designate a sanctuary’ up to a certain area.
Demons cannot enter the designated sanctuary.
In designated sanctuaries, the power of zombies will be weakened and the gates will not open nearby.
[The player reading this notice is the ‘East Asia Server’.]
[East Asian servers include China, Japan, South Korea, North Korea, etc.]
So, I hope you all continue to survive!
Also, there won’t be any major updates like this for a while!
Minor patches will be released every week, so see you next week!

“What bullshit are you talking about now…?”
The overwhelming amount of update history that came to mind at the moment.
All of them were unanswerable enough to cause confusion.
There is no answer to all zombies turning into evolutionary zombies, but a field boss appears in Skeleton Soldier…
And what, ears?
‘Why are you fucking connecting the afterlife with reality? And what else is the clue to end the eternal night? Hmm… They are the monarchs of the afterlife. If I take out these dragon hunters Zeke and Kisseria… I think I’ll be able to catch them.’
“Haa.. I’m going crazy.”
I felt like I was about to collapse because of the malicious update.
The backbone is slightly tight. It is an update history that seems to tell you to die rather than survive.
‘There is such a thing as a degree of anything. I think this is over the line…’
At least, it seems that the peddlers added regular items to sell items that would help them survive, and tried to balance it with an event called the Forest of the Missing… Well, how much longer can the other survivors survive in this fucking situation? .
The smaller the number of survivors, the greater the loss as they cannot be sacrificed or enslaved.
‘Still, this time around, maybe survivors will voluntarily crawl into our camp on the condition that they become slaves.’
Now, at this point, if there are players or small groups that are still active as individuals. They are probably trying to be absorbed into a larger group.
Because the level of disaster has become too high for a small number of people to endure alone. Now the night has become a truly dreadful time. No one knows what will happen from the moment the sun goes down. We can live only when we unite. We can only survive if we stick together.
‘I think I can somehow get through this series of shitty updates if I get a dungeon ticket and find a gentleman sooner rather than later… But no one knows when the peddler will appear. You might enter the missing person’s forest later than others…’
The peddlers should float as quickly as possible. It’s probably because you’ve built up enough intimacy. With a high probability, you will be able to get an admission ticket to the Missing Person’s Forest.
‘A total of 2 people can enter. Someone and I have to go.’
It is a place where there is a very high probability of dying by crawling into it. That’s why I’m too anxious to send someone other than myself.
‘Also, this is a server event. In Korea, China, and Japan, all the way to North Korea will crawl in and aim for the gentleman. You have to survive in that crazy fight. I can’t fall The strongest people in our group right now are me and Mer. It’s best for me to go in and guard Merga Mart. I’m wondering who to choose as the other one… Since Harin has excellent five senses… I’ll have to bring Harin or Hwayoung into the house.’
If there is only one gentleman in the forest, it is certain that a chaos will unfold over it and kill each other. There must be some guys who are lined up in front of the exit. To deal with them, you have to go in with Harin or Hwayoung, who have jobs that can detect humans.
It is expected to be a bloody event, not a joke.
‘It’s obvious that only high-level, confident bastards will crawl into the forest of the missing. This forest of missing people event seems like a malicious design to kill high level, special job users. Trying to get rid of the strong at this point… Are you sure you intend to exterminate all of humanity? Then why do I have to go through such a cumbersome task?’
If I could intervene in reality to this extent, I would have been able to exterminate humans right away. Because the beings who destroyed human civilization overnight are running this game.
‘What on earth do you gain by letting humans survive so that they can only breathe?’
I can’t figure out what the operators of this rotten fucking game are thinking. Is all this just a simple play? Does this process itself have any meaning?
“Brother… What should I do… There’s a ghost…”
“I know..”
At that time, after checking the update history, Yewon hugged my left arm with a frightened expression.
I’m really going crazy too, Yewon.
To be honest, I thought it was going to be a ghost. But that doesn’t mean I really wanted it to come out.
Thinking that ghosts are roaming the streets at night really makes me feel at a loss.
‘If physical attacks don’t work… Fuck… What are you saying?’
Does that mean it’s a magic attack?
My tentacle ejection is a physical attack, so it won’t work. Since Abyss Maw is like a magic attack, I wonder if it will work against ghosts.
‘I think Hwang Soo-min and among the captives this time, there were about two wizards involved. I’ll need their strength.’
There are about three mage classes on our side. I need to tie Hwang Soo-min and the other two together and manage them intensively. Me and my girls each have one or two skills to fight ghosts, but ordinary awakened people don’t. Mages are classes like a ray of light in such a situation.
‘At this point, should I embrace Sumin too…?’
It’s not close enough to enter a harem.
Still, I’ll try to talk some more later.
As she was thinking about that, Mer asked, pointing her finger in one direction.
“Master. Excuse me. Far away Can you see?”
“Uh? Mer. Where?”
“There. Where we raided.”
“Ah… The sports center… Uh…? What is that..”
From the side of the sports center we smashed yesterday, some blue lights are flying up and floating in the air.
I even seem to hear grotesque laughter. It’s like… The laughter of ghosts.
“Couldn’t those be all ghosts?”
“I think that’s right, master. A few are flying over here. I can kill them with my skills, but… I can’t handle them when they come too often.”
“Hey, let’s get everyone ready.”
The sports center is a place where countless innocent deaths have occurred. That’s why it must have become a psychic spot.
It’s quite a distance to the mart where we are, but… There’s no law that those bizarre things flying through the air can’t find their way here. Two or three are already flying in.
“Kiaaaaa!!!!”
At that time, zombies everywhere began to scream and evolve.
-Pud deuk!
-Foohwaak!!
All normal zombies turned into monsters. There are no normal zombies on the streets anymore.
They are all evolutionary zombies.
The night is still deep.
Until morning came, we had to struggle to survive.
