Chapter 129 – This Succubus Gives You Free (5)
The underground city of Landfill is a lawless zone without any laws, but no one rules it. Of course, it is not a rule obtained through a normal and public method, but a rule obtained through a unilateral and private method.
The main source of income for Landfill, an abandoned city, is illegal drugs and its specialty, poisonous gas. The toxic gas of landfill does not lead to death immediately by taking a short breath, but the more continuously it accumulates in the body, the more vicious it is because several symptoms appear simultaneously and there are very few ways to treat this accumulated toxicity. If a human being does not use a treatment that is so expensive that he cannot get it even with the money he has worked for his whole life, he will have to live with the pain for the rest of his life.
Since it was a place where such terrible gas vibrated, other kingdoms and countries had long since taken their hands off it, so it was the best place to distribute illegal goods that are not allowed in normal countries. As this drug is illegal, the return revenue is quite large, so several organizations are fighting fierce battles over the distribution rights of drugs in Landfill.
And those who have nested in this old church, which was once a place for those with faith, but now there are no more people who come for the original purpose, are also one of the organizations participating in the fight for territory.
This organization, made up of criminals whose crimes would not be strange even if they were locked in the largest concentration camp ‘cage’ in the sky city of Skyron, where even the worst criminals go, has no qualms about injuring or taking their lives. As an organization, the brutal appearance of grabbing an opponent by the collar with one hand and mercilessly slashing the opponent’s head with the other hand holding an awl in reverse was enough to instill a very strong impression and fear, apart from the actual influence of the organization. Compared to other organizations, there were significantly fewer warehouses robbed by ‘rats’.
“Ha…”
However, the fangs are currently in an unprecedented crisis because of the new organization ‘Rustrion’ that has been fighting against them occupying the western area of Landfill.
“Damn you crack bastard. You continued to live in Metaverse City with your great skills, why did you come to Landfill… And why are you doing this shit in my district…!”
‘Rustrion’ is an organization founded by Crack, a wanted criminal in Metaverse City, who escaped to Landfill. It was so powerful that it was hard to believe that the materials were procured from Landfill, and the fangs, who boasted of their majesty in the west of Landfill, had no choice but to reduce their organizational power in an instant. It is an organization famous for those who have no hesitation in killing people and mercilessly handle opponents with awl, but there is no answer when the opponent wears armor made of metal all over the body.
“Damn it, why do I have to…!”
“Looks like you need some help?”
“…Who, who are you!”
A dark private office where you should be alone. It was confirmed that the door had never been opened and the windows were firmly locked, and there would be no place for people to hide in this office. In response to the voice of a stranger who was not a member of his organization, Esk, the leader of the awl group, asked in a sharp voice. After a while, in the light of the lightning that struck outside the window, Esk realized that the owner of the voice, a man and a woman, were sitting across from him.
“Don’t be so wary. I’m here to help you.”
“Before that, who are you? Reveal your identity first!”
“Okay, then shall we begin with self-introduction?”
With a woman so attractive that it is impossible for any man not to have a crush on him, the strange man with a strange dignity smiled dryly at Esk.
“My name is Ragnar Armageddon. I’m a new tenant who just arrived at this landfill today. This is my partner, Mono.”
“Hello~?”
“And you’re the canine boss, Esk… Right? I have some personal business with you.”
It’s hard to believe that he came to someone else’s territory on his own, so comfortable and relaxed. To be honest, as for the person in question, Esque, rather, this place was the other person’s territory, and she had the illusion that she was an illegal intruder. But he soon came to his senses. He had sneaked into his private office by some means, and his opponent was an outsider. He doesn’t know what his intentions are. Maybe those damn Lustrions were assassins sent to end the fight quickly.
“Don’t be too wary. I’m here to help you.”
“Help?”
“I heard that the position is very unstable because of the new organization that has recently appeared.”
At those words, Esk gritted his teeth. The fact that they were cornered, the rumor spread enough that even a person who had just arrived at Landfill would know. Even if its status as an organization fell to the ground, it fell very badly.
“Anyway, if I stay still like this, that new organization… What was its name? Rustrion? I think I’ll be absorbed by them or kicked out altogether… Am I right?”
“So, what does that have to do with you, an outsider?”
“I have something planned in this landfill. But I’ve just arrived here and I don’t know much about things here. So I need someone who knows things here and has some influence. Instead of working for me, I can help keep your organization from disappearing, that’s what I mean.”
“If you don’t like…?”
At Esk’s words, the man grinned mischievously as if he had already expected such an answer.
“It doesn’t matter. This is a deal like that. If you don’t accept it, I can go find someone else. Of course, it’ll be too late even if you hit the ground and regret it later.”
“…”
Esk, the leader of the canine faction, is a man who relies heavily on ‘feel’. In fact, this ‘feel’ saved his life quite a few times, so he trusted his intuition. And that feeling… Is shouting now. The only way he could survive was to accept the proposal of this suspicious guy who appeared in front of him.
If things went on like this anyway, it was inevitable that the organization would be destroyed by the Lustrions, so I was confident that I would accept even such a dubious deal to protect this organization that I worked so hard for. All or nothing anyway. Rather than standing still and losing everything, we should call it an ugly struggle to get even one.
“…What should I do?”
The man smiled as if he knew that and held out a contract.
“Read it carefully, and if you like it, sign it.”

Underground City Landfill. It was for good reason that I soon chose this polluted and abandoned city as my home. Honestly, who would want to live in a city that vibrates with this musty, poisonous gas? Everyone has arrived here due to unavoidable circumstances and has no choice but to live.
This is a huge trash can. The last city where abandoned people live. In a place like this where people driven to the end of their lives live, there is no way that public order can be properly maintained. It is truly a world of weak meat, where the strong exploit the weak without power, and the weak steal something like a swarm of rats or attack what the strong leave behind like hyenas and eat the remains.
The only law here is that there is no law. And that means… For me, where my conditional release is revoked the moment I commit any offense against the law, even excluding the three provisions, this is the only place where the means to restrict my actions are reduced by one.
“Rustrion. A small organization equipped with power suits centered on ‘Crack’, a criminal from Metaverse City.”
“The number of members of the organization is only about 20, but five of them are equipped with whole body power suits, so they are not easy opponents. Even if the materials were obtained from Landfill, the technology is from Metaverse City. A guy in a power suit alone can easily knock out 20 members of our gang.”
“There’s no way there’s an answer for a fan with 50 members. Then it’s a simple question.”
“It’s such a simple problem, how the hell are you going to solve it?”
“It’s to allow one member of our organization to deal with one full-body suit user.”
“So, how the hell?”
I smiled and made a black seed in my hand.
“Isn’t it enough to make the power suit or other equipment strong enough to crush it like crumpling paper?”
*
And a week passed.
The fangs, whose position was endangered by the new organization Rustrion, drove Rustryon with an unknown power that they did not know where they got it in just one week and destroyed the organization in just one day. It was displayed alive in the tallest building in the west section of Peel.
Speaking of boasting, the awl, which was all about harpooning the opponent’s earthenware pot with an awl, smashed the Lustrion armed with a full-body power suit.
Anticipating that the fangs would be absorbed or destroyed by Rustrion, organizations from other districts prepared to strike a deal with Rustrion, who would become the ruler of the new western sector, were baffled by this unexpected result. I can’t help but wonder how the fangs, who were the weakest among the organizations that divided and ruled the five districts of Landfill, won over those armed with overbalanced equipment that, although they were only small, would be difficult to handle even if they all united. There was no
The heads of each organization were told by the beggars in the western section that ‘The members of the Awl faction used strange abilities’, ‘When the members of the Awl faction used their abilities, the guys armed with metal just fell out’, ‘The Awl faction’ I was able to come in contact with information such as ‘The head of the group had a secret conversation with a stranger who had recently arrived at Landfill’, and that the members of the Awl faction used a strange technique that hadn’t existed before, and that a stranger who had recently arrived at Landfill was talking to him. Guessed that it was related.
After the Fang faction regained control of the western sector and spent a week reorganizing the organization, the Fang Faction’s leader invited the heads of the other factions to a one-on-one. He said he would meet a very special guest.
The leaders of the organization wondered if this was a trap to lure the fangs into taking control of the other districts, or if they were trying to establish a connection with the ‘princess’ who had won the battle for control of the western district. And when the day announced by the leader of the fangs came, all but one of the rulers of the five districts responded to the western invitation.
“So, where is the honored guest we want to introduce to you?”
Madame Yang, the mistress of the Red Lantern Society, the organization that governs the northern district.
“I hope you didn’t trick us, Esk.”
Mayer, the boss of the organization “U.F” In charge of the central district.
“Oh, I’m all grown up now. To the extent of daring to order us to come and go.”
Seongwoon Do is the leader of the organization “Dogye” That rules the southern sector.
Four of the heads of the five organizations of Landfill gathered here to congratulate Esk, the leader of the canine faction, who regained hegemony in the western district, and to meet the ‘private guest’ who contributed greatly to his success.
“Haha, I want to finish it quickly and go back.”
“Something? Did you find a young boy of your liking again?”
“No, that’s not it… I saw a man and a woman openly mingling outside while I was on my way here. He did it so violently that it made me jump out of the way. Seeing that, I was a little… I want to wear it and play!”
“…A bitch in heat.”
In response to Do Seong-wun’s pathetic sigh, Madame Yang raised her middle finger at him and made a sarcastic remark.
“If that horny bitch says it’s for you, who’s going to complain about taking down your pants without hesitation? Well, I have no intention of giving it to you anyway.”
“Heh heh, they’re all still the heads of an organization, so being a little careful with your words…”
“Noisy, old man who can’t even stand anymore.”
“Okay…”
“Kkeukkeuk. Everyone seems to have lived well for a while. You’re already complaining about how long it’s been since I made you wait.”
While the three were arguing with each other, Esk, who arrived at the meeting place exactly one minute later than the time he had mentioned, scattered the three people who responded to his call and an empty seat, and smiled leisurely after eating.
“Well, it was expected that the guy from the east didn’t come. But I can’t imagine that the other three of you would come to this place with their heavy buttocks. That’s how much the ‘private’ would want to see it.”
“Could you cancel the word ‘heavy ass’? It’s something I care about these days.”
Esk lightly passed the words of the Yang Madam, who was smoking a hookah and complaining as if grumbling, and Esk sat down at his seat prepared in advance.
“Don’t be so impatient. The ‘House’ is… No, ‘Sir’ is due to arrive soon. I’m here to give you guys something to tell you before talking to ‘Sir’. “
From Esk’s unusual appearance, the heads of the three organizations guessed that the ‘private guest’ he mentioned, no, the ‘teacher’ being was not an ordinary person.
Originally, Esk, who was always nervous about being compared to others because he lacked the strength as an organization and the power as an individual among the five organizations of Landfill, lightly ignored Madame Yang’s trivial jokes that would normally have been annoyed. Even his face, which would normally be full of annoyance, has that relaxed smile on his face all the time, as if he could cope with whatever happens. It was a change in attitude that made it hard to believe that he was the same person as the man they knew before.
And most important of all, that Esk called the outsider in question “Sir.”
Esk was a man with a stronger fighting spirit and pride than anyone else, to the extent that there was a joke that the ruler of Landfill would be the one he respected. However, seeing the man lowering himself to the point of being servile and calling out strangers, Do Seong-wun, the head of Do-gye, who often clashed with him, felt a sense of alienation to the point where his heart was twisted.
“In the end, you’ve abandoned your pride and everything, Esk. You’ve become a very faithful servant. The head of the organization that rules the western region of Landfill bows his head to a stranger who doesn’t know where he came from, and he’s not ashamed. Isn’t it?”
A normal Esk would never have avoided such blatant sarcasm. Even if you know that you are deliberately provoking it, it is because the organization is more important than anything else, so you cannot just pass by insulting words like this to maintain the tightness of the organization. However…
“Yes, to those of you who don’t know anything, it can only be seen that way. However, as I met him, I realized that I needed a teacher in this landfill. And for his purpose, this one body. It’s not a waste to sacrifice…!”
Do Seong-wun went beyond bewilderment and even felt fear at that one word that he solemnly uttered as if at the end of a touching speech. It’s fanaticism. The firm faith of a fanatic in the face of an idol. Do Sung-woon got goosebumps all over his body at the firm belief that he couldn’t even understand the words and even showed a glimpse of madness.
It was only a week. But in just one week, people change this much?
“Oh, it’s not too late.”
Feeling ominous, Do Seong-woon was about to get up to leave, but the door burst open, and a man and a woman who had never met each other entered the bar where the leaders of the organization that governs Landfill gathered. At the appearance of a stranger, the members of each organization, brought by the heads, put their hands on their weapons and are on guard.
“Ah, sir! You came just in time!”
Esk bowed toward the man who had just entered the bar, like a mobster paying homage to a leader. It was not only Do Seong-woon who was shocked by the appearance. Mayer’s eyes widened in shock, and the sheep madam stunned and dropped the pipe she was holding on the floor. How can a man who leads an organization bow his head to another so easily? As an enemy he once fought with, Do Seong-wun, who couldn’t stand the sight of him, put his hand on his sword hanging from his waist…
“[You’d better not do anything weird.]”
The moment he heard a single word come out of his mouth, he froze.
Do Seong-woon shuddered at the strange and dangerous aura emanating from him, Madame Yang couldn’t take her eyes off the very attractive woman with her man’s arms crossed, and Mayer stiffened her body with tension at the mysterious atmosphere that spread throughout the bar. . The man who instantly turned the rulers of Landfill into helpless and powerless prey in front of a hungry beast just by appearing, soon approached the table where they were sitting with a laugh as if he was laughing, as if it had been for him from the beginning. I sighed and sat down in the center of the seat.
A man sitting in the center of the table with her legs crossed, and a woman with fatal charm clinging to her man next to him. And with his back to the light of the streetlight leaking in from outside the window, his face was covered in shadow, and his figure was strangely overflowing with the force of a ruler.
In particular, Meyer, who had led the organization for the longest time among them, had superimposed the moment when he had just risen to the head of the organization when he was young. And unlike himself, who was already old enough to grow old, the man in front of him was still young, so the contrast was clear. Just as his own gang members did to him, Mayer was already enamored with his charisma without even realizing it.
“One person had to be left out, but this should be enough. Now, let’s stop talking about unnecessary things and get to the point… I have a plan to change this city, Landfill.”
Change the land fill.
At the completely unexpected story, bewilderment stood on the faces of those except Esk. You change? This city, Landfill? How the hell
“I’m sure there are many things you’d like to ask me about why you’re trying to change it, how you’re trying to change it, etc., But I’ll explain that later. Anyway, the important point is that I have an intention to change this city from a trash can to a city where people live again. It’s not just a gutter where abandoned things from other places live together, but a city where people can live properly. And… For that, I hope you guys who have ruled the city for a while can help me, that’s it.”
“…Why should we help you?”
His body still stiffened, but Do Seong-wun managed to move his chin to express his opinion. Then he grinned and spread his hands as if they were grasping something invisible. Then, Do Seong-woon could feel that the unknown energy that had been weighing him down had disappeared in an instant.
“Because in the process of transforming this city, I’ll keep the things I need, but I’ll get rid of everything I don’t need. For example.”
He didn’t say anything behind his back. Because there was no one who couldn’t understand the meaning of that level in this place. His mouth is smiling, but his eyes are not laughing. Seeing his gaze as if he was thoroughly weighing his own needs and values, Do Seong-woon realized that he had no choice from the beginning.
