Into the Creations 2520

Chapter 2520 – 2520. The Devil’S Game

I was the boss of the crime syndicate, Seonghae, but in reality, I didn’t do much. It was Yoo Jin-myung who was growing the organization. All I did was occasionally step in to deal with the disobedient ones and use my advice ability to provide Yoo Jin-myung with the information he was curious about.

Seonghae was steadily and surely dominating the underbelly of South Korea. Money was piling up. Just the cash stacked in front of me was over 1 billion won. Including the emergency funds I had hidden away, it was over 3 billion won. Money I could use freely, regardless of the organization.

Women? Given my position, I could have any woman I wanted. Even celebrities were easy to get with a little effort. But I tended to refrain from meeting women. There were hardly any women on the level of Shin Do-hyun and Jo Na-young.

‘It’s not like my sperm is infinite.’

Just maintaining my affair with Jo Na-young was exhausting.

The last time I had sex with Shin Do-hyun, she had suspected something, saying that the amount of my sperm was less than usual. After that, I couldn’t carelessly waste my sperm even when I met Jo Na-young.

Knock knock.

“Boss. It’s Yoo Jin-myung. I have a report.”

“Come in.”

Yoo Jin-myung, dressed in a suit, entered. He placed a document on the desk. I didn’t even glance at the document and looked at Yoo Jin-myung. He would summarize the contents anyway.

“Thanks to the information you provided, Boss, we were able to seize the weaknesses of National Assemblyman Kim Shin-cheong. We also gave him money and appeased him so he wouldn’t resist. At the very least, he won’t interfere with us.”

“More importantly, isn’t there anyone we need to kill?”

I asked Yoo Jin-myung and the Advisor simultaneously.

“There are a few people we’re keeping an eye on, but none that need to be eliminated. Even if there were, there’s no need for you to move personally, Boss. We can use the killers in our organization.”

“Ah, okay.”

“About the Jungwoo faction in Busan that we talked about last time…”

“It’s time to show them our strength. Shall we go?”

“No. It’s fine. The Jungwoo faction has requested to submit voluntarily.”

Yoo Jin-myung finished his report and left.

I sat in my chair, staring blankly into space.

Yeah. I was feeling bored right now. I tried to alleviate my boredom with games, dramas, and shopping, but it was meaningless. There was a lack of stimulation. Sex was good, but… the post-nut clarity was awful.

‘It would be nice if I could just have sex for the rest of my life.’

But a person’s stamina was limited.

Even if it wasn’t sex, it was fun to hang out with Shin Do-hyun and Jo Na-young. But both of them were busy. Shin Do-hyun was busy growing her business, and Jo Na-young was at the peak of her career as an idol. I heard she was about to make her debut in the US.

‘I’m bored to death… This makes me think of the old days. Well, it’s not that old, but…’

When I was playing the Devil’s Game, there was no time to be bored. The stimulation of killing people and monsters. A place where you die if you let your guard down. But a place that was endlessly advantageous for me.

My body in its prime, in my 20s, was itching. I couldn’t forget the feeling of holding a knife and slicing through people.

‘The Devil’s Game. I want to play it again.’

I lowered my head, suppressing a sigh that was about to burst out.

On top of the pile of documents on the desk, there was a black envelope.

‘An invitation to the Devil’s Game?’

My eyes widened. I tore open the envelope and checked the contents.

「To Seong Yu-jin,

It’s been a while.

Are you enjoying the life you desire? If you are, that’s a relief. But if you’re feeling bored… I’ll give you a chance to shake off that boredom.

I invite you to the Devil’s Game.

The Devil’s Game can change your life. For a better life than you have now.

The game starts at midnight tonight.

You can refuse the Devil’s Game. Just tear up this invitation. I promise there will be no disadvantages.

The game starts at midnight tonight.

Let’s have fun again.」

“Ha. Hahaha. You devil. Are you watching me now? You must be. You didn’t seem to have a good personality. My answer is… of course, I’ll participate. I’ve already decided on my wish. Infinite stamina! I’m already looking forward to it!”

I chuckled and put my feet up on the desk.

Six hours until midnight.

I could wait with a smile for about six hours.

• • •

It had been 15 years since I first learned about the Devil’s Game.

I was 38 years old. Still unfulfilled. I hadn’t gone to the military.

I had participated in the Devil’s Game a total of 13 times, and I had won the Grand Game every time, fulfilling 13 wishes.

Seonghae had become an organization that dominated South Korea. I had absolute power in South Korea. Even the president didn’t dare to meet my eyes.

My wives were Shin Do-hyun and Jo Na-young. In present-day South Korea, polygamy was possible. I had used one of my wishes to change the law.

There had been quite a few twists and turns before I married Shin Do-hyun and Jo Na-young.

‘I almost got killed by Shin Do-hyun when our affair was exposed. In the end, I was safe because I subdued and subjugated Shin Do-hyun.’

If I didn’t have the infinite stamina I wished for with my second wish… I might have died from overexertion.

Flutter flutter.

A black envelope fell from the air.

I wasn’t even surprised anymore. It was a familiar invitation to the Devil’s Game. The contents of the invitation were also predictable.

‘It’s been half a year since the last season ended.’

I was 38 years old.

I had seven children under my care. Five between Shin Do-hyun and me. Two between Jo Na-young and me.

‘Is it because I’m almost 40? My body doesn’t feel the same as before. Especially last season was tough.’

I felt like my strength, stamina, and reflexes had declined.

I had tried to wish for rejuvenation, but… the devil didn’t grant my wish. He would even bring the dead back to life, so why wouldn’t he grant rejuvenation? I had no idea what the devil’s conditions for granting wishes were.

“It’s been fun. I’m officially retiring from the Devil’s Game today.”

I didn’t want to get hit on the back by Do-hyun.

Tear.

I tore the envelope. I had no regrets. I had already enjoyed it enough.

Even if a participant in the Devil’s Game won the Grand Game and wished to target me, I was confident that I wouldn’t be defeated. What I had built wouldn’t collapse so easily.

‘Among the wishes I made, there was also a wish that I wouldn’t be greatly affected by other participants’ wishes.’

[Quest completed.]
[Quest rewards will be given after the ending is confirmed.]
[You can check the ending of ‘The Devil’s Game’.]
[You can play for the next hour.]
[Do you want to end the play now?]

‘What is this? It’s different from what the Advisor is showing me? And what’s this about playing?’

The ending of the Devil’s Game? The Devil’s Game was run on a seasonal basis, there wasn’t an ending.

I couldn’t understand the notification window that appeared in front of me. Fortunately, I had a way to understand it.

‘Advisor. What is this in front of me?’

‘What’s the ending of the Devil’s Game, and what’s this about playing?’

‘It’s been a while since you’ve been this unhelpful. Am I going to die in an hour?’

‘It’s a little unreliable, but… since the Advisor is speaking with such certainty, I guess I won’t die. I’ll end the play.’

[Ending the play.]

• • •

“……”

I returned to reality.

It wasn’t that I had spent 15 years in the play world. If you spent 30 days in the [Devil’s Game] world, the play would automatically end.

And the first time I came out, I used auto-progress. After that, I went in two more times. So, excluding auto-progress, the total time I spent directly in the play world was 90 days.

‘Tch. I wanted to have sex with Shin Do-hyun with my memories intact… Well, I have the memories and experience of having sex with Shin Do-hyun.’

Unfortunately, I didn’t have the memories and experiences from when I used auto-progress. That was my avatar, not me.

‘I didn’t know that the condition for the quest, surviving until the end of the game, meant until I completely escaped the Devil’s Game.’

Thanks to that, it took 15 years in the play world.

First, I checked the ending of the [Devil’s Game].

There wasn’t anything special about it. In the [Devil’s Game], I grew old while enjoying power. Even in their 50s, Shin Do-hyun and Jo Na-young looked like women in their early to mid-30s. It was thanks to the money they poured into managing their appearance and their natural genes.

At 82 years old, I died before my wives. It was a natural death. My lifespan had reached its limit. In the end, the devil appeared, we talked, and it ended.

[You have checked the ending of the Devil’s Game.]
[The ending will be saved.]

It was the 25th ending.

[As a reward for completing the quest, you will receive 10,000 points and future information.]

[Future Information
You will randomly acquire future information.
Future information will only provide you with information that will definitely be helpful.
Price: 200,000 points
※Caution
It is up to you to determine the true value of future information.]

I smirked.

Looking at what I had gained this time, I felt full even without eating.

‘The points I have now are…’

[Available Points: 28,101]

‘Heh heh. That’s a lot. Just looking at it makes me feel full.’

Before using the points… the future information caught my eye.

Randomly acquire future information.

‘If I use it in reality, I’ll get future information about reality, right? If I use it in the play world, I’ll get future information about the play world.’

I am a little curious about the future information of reality. Reality had already been destroyed twice, hadn’t it? So it could be destroyed in the future as well.

‘Hmm. But I can just use the regression ticket then.’

It wasn’t urgent. I still had the ultimate trump card, the Absolute Emperor’s Authority.

‘I should use the future information in the Academy Savior world. Something feels off.’

First, I used the points to increase my stats.

[Seong Yu-jin
