[Read the journal and get one step closer to the hidden truth of the village.]

“…!”

Isin, who was about to leave, stopped walking.

Even though it was urgent… .

Still, there was one word that was simply difficult to pass by.

‘Hidden Truth?’

The hidden truth about the village written in the village chief’s diary.

Isin noticed that this was related to the golem he had met at the volcano.

There was no evidence to be certain of that, though… .

It just felt that way.

Having traveled to numerous territories and fought against boss monsters, Isin felt that there were several strange things about this village.

First of all, the village was too small compared to the size of the field.

To be exact, it’s not that the town was small, but that the fields were too vast.

It was strangely large, even though it was a backward area in a corner of the kingdom where the only things that appeared were golems.

Unlike real space, the spaces in the game are all areas created based on AI’s judgment and needs, so they are definitely useful.

If it doesn’t exist, it’s not that it doesn’t exist, it’s that we haven’t found a use for it yet.

That is, for this wide space to make sense, there had to be something else hidden here.

So, at first, I thought that Isin would be able to find a new hunting ground or dungeon here.

Because compared to the vast space that was uselessly large, there weren’t many things that actually made it onto the map.

And there was one more strange thing connected with this.

The boss I just met a moment ago.

‘Too strong.’

The guy was strangely strong.

Of course, it is also because the recommended hunting ground level here is high… .

Even taking that into account, it was still too strong compared to the normal golems outside.

So much so that it feels strange.

‘… The skill was turned on as soon as we met?’

The current Lee Shin was not weak.

Compared to the past when I had no confidence in my ability to compare myself to anyone, I feel like I am a bit lacking, but I can never say that I am weak because I have grown to the level of the rankers.

However, as soon as I met the opponent, was activated.

Of course, whether or not a skill is turned on is not an absolute measure of an opponent’s strength… .

It was clear that it was strong enough to be difficult to deal with without any buffs.

Even when part of his abilities were sealed, it was the same.

“… … .”

That’s exactly what was strange.

It’s too strong to be considered an ordinary boss.

Such a strong boss is sealed inside a volcano.

The villagers actually don’t know what is sealed inside the volcano.

“… … .”

So, while he was thinking, ‘I don’t know what it is, but something is strange,’ this journal was discovered and it put a stop to Isin’s conjecture.

Thanks to that, I originally planned to just finish the Golem quest and leave right away, but my plans changed.

It seemed like there were still quite a few things hidden, so it was a bit of a shame to just end it like this.

I was also purely curious about what was hidden.

Lee Shin looked through the notes.

And the sentence written on the first page of that journal was this:

[10xx.xx.xx]

A pit of fire fell from the sky.

From that flame emerged a demon.

“!!!?”

* * *

devil.

A divine being who rules the demon world based on his powerful military power.

He is the antithesis of many of the gods that exist in Avala Online.

That is why it is believed that as the main story progresses, it will one day target the ground and invade.

… … is known to most users, but it is not actually certain.

Well, no user has actually seen the devil yet.

No, let alone seeing it, there was no exact record or trace of the devil.

Although there were some materials related to this in the church, it was difficult to see their credibility as they were all written hundreds of years ago.

Of course, because it was so old, the description was vague.

So, the fact that many users were talking about the devil and such was not based on any clear evidence.

Since that was the setting in Avala Online 1, I just assumed that it would be the same in Avala Online 2, which has many settings borrowed from the previous game.

Of course, there was no disagreement that it was a very likely guess considering the various circumstances, but it was still difficult to be certain until its existence was actually confirmed.

Although the settings are almost identical to those of Avala Online 2, there are definitely some changes.

So, various guilds were making efforts in various ways to actually confirm the existence of the devil.

If you were the first to find information about the demon, the initial reward would be certain, and you could even aim for exclusive access to the new upper hunting grounds.

Considering that in the past, whenever a new field was opened, there were tectonic shifts in the guild rankings, it was only natural that the large guilds would be concerned.

In particular, , which has a close relationship with the religious order, was famous for tracking and researching this area.

There is even a separate department dedicated to researching and analyzing the history and worldview of Avala Online.

however….

Tiring.

[Information about the demon has been confirmed for the first time on the server!]

[A great achievement! You gain the title, .]

You are one step ahead of the continent.

Now the sages and wizards are more likely to trust your words.

Now when entering a new field, the effect and duration of the entry bonus buff are increased by 300%.

[All stats increase by 10.]

[Fame increases by 100.]

[Telling the truth about the demon increases your fame by an additional 10,000.]

“!!!!”

A title that was completely taken by Isin, making the efforts of the large guilds that were busy researching it seem meaningless!

The title effect was also very good, and the stats that increased were not small at all.

But Isin had no time to care about what he had gained.

‘devil!?’

That would be the case, because there was a word that was much more concerning.

devil.

Even the system message kindly informed me that this report was not false.

Lee Shin continued to turn over the notes.

‘But the date doesn’t match… Oh, did you write it alone?’

The date written on the first page was almost hundreds of years ago.

That means that this memoir was not written by the village chief who had just died, but was written and passed down by generations of village chiefs.

It was clear that the paper quality of the front and back pages of the notebook was different.

Having solved one question, Isin continued to turn the pages.

-One day, the devil appeared.

-The summoned demon was in the shape of a golem made of fire and rock.

– Judging from the many animals sacrificed near the place where the demon was summoned, it seems to be the work of a warlock.

-The village soldiers tried to stop them, but… .

Of course, it is said that the soldiers were no match for him.

The soldiers were annihilated and the village was reduced to rubble.

After urgently reporting this fact to the royal family, they requested assistance, and the royal family dispatched the military and the main force of the religious order.

‘…you did it?’

It was a moment of doubt, but when I thought about it, it wasn’t that strange.

Because it was only relatively recently that the Kingdom of Eton began to fall into disrepair.

Before it was shaken by rebellion and dictatorship, the Kingdom of Eton was one of the most powerful nations on the continent.

That is why the previous murders were so active for the revival of the Eton Kingdom.

Lee Shin continued reading the diary.

-The kingdom’s reinforcements have arrived.

-The kingdom’s army and the church’s forces joined forces to successfully recapture the village and soon cornered the guy.

-The cornered guy soon took refuge in the volcano and began to recover from his wounds.

-The kingdom’s army chased him to the volcano and tried to finish him off, but it was impossible due to his ability to continuously recover from injuries while in the flames.

Although the devil reigns as an almost divine being in the underworld, he would not have been able to display such majesty when he descended to earth.

After all, it’s not the main body, and the environment is different from the Demon World where magic is everywhere.

So it looks like we’ve managed to get the guy out, but… .

Still, the devil is the devil.

Even though it has been weakened, it is still strong and its characteristics are intact.

It seems like it would have been difficult to completely wipe out the guy who had decided to stay inside the volcano.

So, the choice was not to sweep, but to seal.

The fact that the area he was summoned to was in a remote part of the kingdom may have also played a role.

If it had been near the capital, it would have been wiped out no matter what happened… .

Because this wasn’t a very important area.

I think they thought that there would be no problem if they just sealed it and maintained the sealing condition steadily rather than shedding blood for no reason.

As expected, the notebook also said the same thing.

The royal family decided to send a large number of magicians to seal the guy and periodically check the sealing status.

And the job of clearing out the golems that the guy periodically creates was left to the villagers who originally lived here.

It was a method that even Lee Shin thought was appropriate.

That is, if only it were executed properly and consistently.

however….

“hmm?”

-At some point, the magician who was regularly dispatched from the royal family stopped coming.

-I reported this fact to the royal family, but only received a response much later asking what that meant.

-The seal is intact, so it doesn’t matter… but is it my imagination? I have a feeling that the number of golems near the volcano has been increasing recently.

Support was cut off at some point.

The answer came almost a dozen years later, but by then it seemed as if they had completely forgotten about the incident.

Rather, it is said that he was even warned not to throw the kingdom into chaos with useless talk.

‘… … ?’

A moment when you suddenly wonder why it has become like this.

There was one assumption that crossed Lee Shin’s mind.

I’d like to think so, but… .

‘… Me again?’

Somehow I felt that way.

Because Lee Shin knew it well now.

Most of the major incidents and accidents that occurred in the Kingdom of Eton were related to the previous murders.

When you don’t know who the culprit is, if you just take a guess, you’ll usually get it right.

Even though that incident happened about a few decades ago?

It also coincides with the time when Jeondae Salsung was active.

With hundreds and thousands of nobles being swept away every day and even the royal family being threatened, it was only natural that the kingdom would be in great chaos, and it would not be strange if various pieces of information were lost in the process.

And a system message put a stop to this speculation.

Tiring.

“hmm?”

[I discovered the hidden mistake of the previous murder!]

[ creates a job quest.]

The purpose of the previous massacre was to revive the Eton Kingdom.

He loved the kingdom more than anyone else in the kingdom, and under that cause, he punished many corrupt nobles in the kingdom and oppressed the royal family.

This was a clear achievement and a great spirit of resistance left to later generations of murderers.

But that doesn’t mean he didn’t make a single mistake.

As a result of his obsession with the cause, he made several fatal mistakes, one of which involved the sealing of this demon.

Information about the Demon’s Seal was lost because he raided several royal administrative offices and destroyed important military information.

Slay the devil with your own hands!

In this way, you can cover up the mistakes of the previous generation and resolve the crisis that will befall the Kingdom of Eton in the near future.

The honor of the entire slaughterhouse rests in your hands.
