Mission succeeded.

It was a text which didn’t appear when he persuaded the Black Demon Warlord. But it came as soon as they got Bloody Death Warlord on his side.

<Seol-Hwi’s external status has risen.> <An owner of a high level of internal energy within the radius of 50 meters of you on the “elder” level is being recruited to evaluate your martial arts level.> <Analyzing…>

What is this now?

Even though he did not open the simulation, the system began to work on its own, and after a while, another pop up came.

<Congratulations. Seol-Hwi’s rank has risen. It has officially risen to ninth in the Demonic Sect.> <The ability to sense the energy demonstrates the ability to feel the internal energy, and the unique name “Heavenly Flow Supreme Demon” has been given. A strong resistance to the attacks in the form of intangible energy.> <All the elders and leaders of the groups, command unit troops, and more who live in recluse will remember the name Seol-Hwi.> <With the appearance of Seol-Hwi, the Earth Demon’s status rises as well, along with the public opinion.> <The Earth Demon will be said to be the most powerful person of the disciples of the Heavenly Demon. Duration 30 days.>

T-this…?

There was definitely a change. The power of the Earth Demon who had never been properly treated anywhere before was now drawing the attention of everyone in the sect.

But it did not really feel like a nice thing.

How can one make an odd one fit in?

The fact that he was being mentioned as the best person among the disciples meant that the other disciples would move.

We are in trouble. The forces have grown rapidly and there are many strong warriors on our sides, but…

Even so, this side’s hand had been shown.

The trump card was displayed out in the open while the other three’s were still hidden.

“…”

But it was impossible for him to live without doing that, and when he was concerned, the system continued—

<The affinity with the Earth Demon has greatly increased.> <Current Affinity - Absolute trust (MAX)> <Absolute trust: This is the degree of affinity that a person who has been greatly impressed or received grace gets. Seol-Hwi is treated by the Earth Demon as a comrade with the same meaning, beyond just being a reliable subordinate.> <While the effect of absolute trust is in effect, you will be able to defend against unknown threats by using false rumors or false documents with a high chance of success.>

“Huh!”

An additional reward then?

Or was it the start of another mission and the end of this one?

Seol-Hwi’s heart fluttered at the words that came to his mind this time.

“Absolute trust,” a relationship in which the lord and the subordinate help one another, and no matter what happened, their bond would not be damaged due to their trust in each other.

The Earth Demon, who does not usually trust the people around him and lived with a closed off heart—the fact that he believed in Seol-Hwi, despite whatever may come their way, meant that they should be greatly regarded.

It seemed that this special effect only applied for the Earth Demon and not to him, but it did not matter. Seol-Hwi had no intention of betraying the Earth Demon.

It is a bit irritating though.

More than anything, though, he was glad that his heart and intentions were being rewarded and that the efforts were not in vain.

It made him feel odd that there were feelings of someone recognizing him and trusting him, which was rarely seen with the Heavenly Demon.

He also felt that the system had changed oddly. Rather than suggesting a path like before, it was now prioritizing certain outcomes.

Somehow, he felt hopeful that things would work out in the future.

<Concurrent Position is unlocked by fulfilling the conditions. From now on, one will be able to hold other positions besides Secret Warrior at the same time. Would you like to ask the Earth Demon?>

Another position?

Concurrent position?

Suddenly, this unfamiliar phrase came out, and Seol-Hwi hesitated for a moment.

For now, he decided to see what it was.

▶Hidden Truth Captain ▷Heavenly Night Hall Leader ▷Earth Demon’s personal military advisor ▷Leader to one of the core units of escort, as a secret warrior.

Ah!

As soon as Seol-Hwi saw that, he got a sense of what was happening. All four positions needed approval from the Earth Demon.

This was possible because of the deep trust the Earth Demon had. Seol-Hwi was considered to be a person the Earth Demon could trust, so he would let him take the position if needed.

If there is anything to do…

Seol-Hwi thought about the Hidden Truth Corps, the place he was in the past, and the hundreds of people he met.

The largest unit under the Earth Demon, was unfortunately far inferior to the elites of the other disciples of the Heaven Demon. Because of this, instead of going to the frontlines, they were mainly in charge of minor missions such as surveillance and tracking.

Of course, the Seven Messengers were known to be outstanding, but it was not known to the public.

It was a reserve unit. Or treated as a second base unit. It was a large organization with low treatment and poor skills.

Heavenly Night Hall Leader is commanded by Earth Demon.

He remembered hearing about it the other day when he witnessed it. Known externally as a research unit, it does not just analyze the key figures within the sect but also collects information.

When the Hidden Truth Corps gathered information, it was then given to these troops which processed the information and read the flow of the enemy and their real intentions.

Since most of them only looked at the reports, he understood how one would be. However, the skill of each member was terrifying.

The Heavenly Night Hall Leader was the leader of the information troops for the Earth Demon.

He found out later, but the trainer was from this place, the one who taught him lessons in the past.

It was a fact that someone from Hidden Truth Corps who lacked the combat power had been forcibly developed based on the information they had.

And the third…

The Earth Demon’s military advisor.

The position of trust was in its name and the reality in which he understood the situation from right by his side, the one who would make sure the Earth Demon was not in danger.

The last one is vanguard duty.

What remained was to stand to command the troops under the Earth Demon, and it meant that he would be put in the forefront of the fight.

Even so—

The Earth Demon gave Seol-Hwi a few key points which could be said as everything he had.

“What are you thinking? You are someone who can take the position here at any time.”

He believed it almost blindly, that whatever he chose out of there, he would get it done, and that would help the Earth Demon.

He was grateful, but at the same time he also felt burdened by it.

“I am a little worried about it…”

Escort, intelligence, bodyguard while being a military advisor, and part of the vanguard to fights—

Not a single one had less responsibilities. It was to the point where they wanted to say that if he had multiple bodies, he would take all of them.

But that was impossible, so in the end he had to pick just one.

Tak tak.

While Seol-Hwi was in trouble, he tapped his arms and the Earth Demon watched him leisurely.

No matter what Seol-Hwi chose, he intended to respect that choice. He had done a great deal and deserved to choose what he wanted.

But actually, he also wanted Seol-Hwi to take a certain position.

Although he started to attract attention, his faction still lacked resources like before.

“I understand. Then I…”

After thinking about it a little longer, Seol-Hwi finally made his choice.

<You would like to take charge of the Hidden Truth Corps?>

“…You really want to join there? Really?”

The Earth Demon’s face brightened. This was because the position he wanted Seol-Hwi to take the most was this one. But then his face changed quickly too.

“Why don’t you think it over again? That is a place lacking in military power. Normally, the captain was in charge of it, but the current captain to the troops is…”

He had an apologetic expression, like he was requesting more from Seol-Hwi.

It was the weakest force under the Earth Demon. The captain who led such people would not be good at teaching or have good instincts.

“I know. The basics are lacking and the martial arts skills aren’t good enough to trust in them, so I need to be there.”

Like many warriors within the Demonic Sect, the current troops were given their position by their proficiency in martial arts.

Of course, it was not enough to look at what the members lacked and what they needed.

On the other hand, Seol-Hwi was a person who had come from the lower side of life.

After all, he also grew rapidly through the system, but he was well aware of the lives of low level warriors who were neglected due to lack of armed troops.

“Low level warriors put in a lot of effort to get stronger but during those times mistakes happen and so do accidents, and there is no teacher to help them.”

“Hmm.”

“A mission that isn’t important, there are cases where such people are taken to solve tasks in other places in order to impress the superiors, but just numbers are meaningless.”

Seol-Hwi’s words were not aimed at just the Hidden Truth Corps.

The heads of most organizations in the sect, who always have to look out for the strong, use such subordinates as objects.

The reason the low level ones did not grow was because they did not have the desire to improve after being put through all that. Nor did they have the chance to learn and develop.

That was why he set foot into the toughest place.

“…I didn’t think that far.”

At Seol-Hwi’s detailed explanation, the Earth Demon shook his head.

“Right. Knowing the conditions of that place and the hearts of those in there, there really is no one more suitable than you. Please take good care of it.”

“Yes.”

Seeing the Earth Demon respond with bright eyes, Seol-Hwi bowed his head.

Now I can see them up close.

Although he gave such reasons to Earth Demon, Seol-Hwi had different reasons for choosing it.

Seo Ryeong—

It was to approach her more naturally and safely.

Even in order to not make her miss him all her life like in the past.

I will definitely make you happy in this life. Even if it isn’t me…

In the battlefield where one did not know how long they would live, he wanted her to avoid such a fate.

That was the small wish of Seol-Hwi in this life.
