A Basement-Dwelling Loser, the Inquisitor – Chapter 209

[Rene]

[After a brief chat, I will do the New Dimension World Quest]

[New Dimension | 8,678 viewers online | 01:02:51]

[Death]

Gray-tinted vision alongside the system message.

I really never thought I would die like this….

If Iya had seen this scene, she would definitely be giggling and mocking me.

[System: You died during the ‘World Quest – Tagirion’.]

[System: Resurrection is not possible if you die during the ‘World Quest – Tagirion’.]

Now that I think about it, the quest message did say that dying meant no resurrection.

So, what happens if I don’t log out of New Dimension in this state?

Will I just be able to spectate for two days like this?

[System: Moving to ‘Hell of the Abyss – Tartarus’.]

…Huh?

Just as those thoughts crossed my mind, a phrase I had never seen appeared, and my vision changed dramatically.

Golden barley ears ablaze. I couldn’t see the NPCs fighting Tagirion’s minions.

This was an unusual place I had never seen while playing New Dimension.

Bizarre patterns splitting the ground. Flaming torches. Stone decorations.

The strangest thing of all was… there seemed to be no end in sight no matter where I looked.

Wouldn’t it look similar to standing in the center of the ocean?

“What is this…?”

─ It seems like all the dead people go there ㄷㄷㄷㄷ

─ No resurrection (means go to hell ㅎ)

“Ah…”

Earlier, the system message said ‘Hell of the Abyss – Tartarus’.

I remember that it was the name of the place where Tagirion’s true form was sealed.

…So what am I supposed to do here? I wondered for a moment.

Suddenly, someone wearing a hood appeared before me.

[Tagirion… he is the embodiment of absolute evil, a Great Demon who proves evil through his existence.]

[A long time ago… all the gods and heroes of the continent joined forces to seal him, but due to some reason, the seal weakened, and he regained his power.]

[If left unchecked, he will move to destroy everything in sight.]

[That must be stopped at all costs.]

[This is Tartarus. The place where the Great Demon Tagirion was sealed for an eternity.]

[Though most of it has crumbled due to the unsealing, I poured most of my strength to retain at least its form.]

[And somewhere in this place, there will be remnants of his power left behind.]

[Gather those remnants and bring them to me.]

─ That culprit who caused it all is right in front of you

─ Gasp ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

The hooded figure poured out words at an incredible speed.

As soon as he finished speaking, a system message appeared before me.

[Special Quest – Remaining Hopes]

[Having lost your life to Tagirion’s minion, you awakened in Tartarus with his help.]

[You must collect ‘Tagirion’s Remnants’ to create a weakness for Tagirion.]

[Tagirion will weaken according to the total amount of ‘Tagirion’s Remnants’ collected.]

[This quest will end if the ‘World Quest – Minion Subjugation’ is successful.]

[If ‘World Quest – Minion Subjugation’ is successful, all individuals in Tartarus will be resurrected.]

[This quest will end if ‘World Quest – Minion Subjugation’ fails.]

[You cannot refuse this quest.]

A special quest that cannot be refused.

Only after reading through all that message did I realize.

Even players who cannot meet the conditions are included in the World Quest, there exist time limits that make it feel perilously close, and absurd penalties of no resurrection.

This was all for this.

[Then I will wait for you.]

[??? blesses you.]

[All stats significantly increased.]

“…The scale is really massive.”

─ I agree;

─ This blessing spec is outrageous, they say

─ To get Tagirion’s remnants, you’ll have to fight something like a minion, and newbies can be wiped out ㄷㄷㄷ

─ It’s said that this blessing plays inversely to player specs

─ The maximum cap is a 1,000% increase in all stats + @;

─ Insane ㅅㅂ

─ The end spec is said to be a 50% increase, so what the heck is he???

─ Can you meet other players there?

─ You can, but the map is so huge that it’s hard to find each other

“Well then… shall we wrap up the broadcast here…?”

─????

─ Are you really insane?

─ You crazy girl ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

─ ??? : I’m grateful just for turning on the stream (actually words spoken)

─ No, being grateful is one thing, but cutting it here is crossing the line, damn ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

─ No matter what anyone says, she walks her own path… always messing with the Rebongi in new ways… truly an incredible genius… a girl worthy of being a queen…

─ Are you planning on turning off the stream to go solo????

─ Just at least show us catching one Tagirion remnant, for god’s sake

“I’m planning on turning off the broadcast and New Dimension too… I think I need to rest a bit….”

Maybe I overdid it earlier?

I had crossed the threshold of being dazed; my thoughts were pretty much scrambled.

Plus, my body felt so lethargic that I just wanted to lie down on my bed….

─ It really does sound like your voice isn’t great;

─ Still, this is not okay, damn

─ If this voice gets any more appealing, should I hit that like button once??? [Message deleted.]

─ I mean, it’s not so serious that it’s worth worrying about…

─ Just say it’s because you hate the Rebongi ㅠㅠㅠ

“I wouldn’t hate you all…. It’s just that today is that day, so…”

…Oh.

Did I just say something…?

─?????

─ Gasp ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

─ Everyone, stop shooting, you bastards ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

─ Rene, I didn’t say anything bad, so please spare me…

─ If you’re doubtful that the Rebongi are in a bad spot, hit like ㅋㅋㅋ

─ Info) The host is a partner streamer of Sirius

─ Oh… sorry, please take a good rest…?

─ Info) Sirius puts a lot of effort into protecting partner streamers ㅋㅋㅋ

─ No, Your Honor, honestly, not knowing anything is no crime

─ So you’re publicly admitting that now;

─ Was that talk you heard true, damn;

─ Where is that place?

─ Does such a place even exist? ㅇㅇ;

“…Huh?!”

─ Wow, that reaction is a goldmine ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[The broadcast has ended.]

I immediately turned off both the broadcast and New Dimension and exited the Reverse Capsule, but the memory from just moments ago didn’t fade away.

Instead, the fog that had covered my mind until now felt refreshingly cleared.

Am I… an idiot?

I had clearly sworn not to stream during my period last time; why did I do something so foolish?

“…Uwaaahhhhh?!”

I threw myself onto the bed and punched the pillow, but of course, the past wouldn’t change just like that.

It’s not like I did something wrong.

As long as my body is female, that day will inevitably come.

But to blurt it out on a broadcast… with nearly 9,000 people watching, that’s a completely different situation…

Ah, I really want to die…

Honestly, I couldn’t understand how one could move like that even while wearing Full Body Armor and wielding a Warhammer; it’s insane that one can react to all that without any armor.

The Gallery Master is certainly a beast ㅇㅇ
