“Long live! Long live! Long long live!”

People dressed in black with their faces covered by cloth raise their arms and shout. Wait, shouldn’t it be "long live" rather than "ten thousand years" if we live on the continent? I don’t understand why they’re calling the king beneath the emperor like this.

“Divine Demon Manifest! Ten Thousand Blessings!”

What kind of army is this? The movements of their arms are sharp. When they say "Ten Thousand Blessings," everyone bows and salutes.

“Invincible Faith! Magic Over the World!”

Then, they rise again, swinging their arms, shaking their hands, and then bowing to the ground again, repeating this two times.

It’s not like an idol concert, but when a person appears across from me, they move energetically.

A strangely muscular woman? No, it’s a man.

Is there some hormonal imbalance? His hips are strangely sticking out, and it seems like his body is half-transformed, as if still in the middle of a transformation.

No, he’s a man. A man in women’s clothing?

“Are you the Chaos of the Four Seasons who led the Divine Demon?”

His voice is quite high. But it’s a man’s voice. It doesn’t seem like he’s forcing it, but there’s an awkwardness to it.

In the faded man’s memory, he admires, saying, "A primitive ancient Divine Demon? Are you crazy?"

Primitive ancient Divine Demon?

Ah, right.

He’s talking about him. He was from the Sun and Moon Faith. The faded man had never seen that work with his own eyes, so his knowledge is fragmented, but he knows he was the mid-boss who died.

A man who learned the eunuch’s martial arts and had his sexual identity destroyed.

But calling him a Divine Demon?

Divine Demon... From the atmosphere, it feels like some martial arts world, but who could it be?

I thought about all the Harvesters.

First, I excluded strange Harvesters from different worlds or non-human Harvesters.

After all, aside from the first world, there aren’t that many...

The most plausible figure.

“Are you talking about Eunjae?”

Then, I heard murmurs around me. They say that it's not the person we thought it was. I guess I was wrong.

Did I mess up?

At that moment, the man in front raised his hand.

Then, everyone closed their mouths and bowed.

He’s a very charismatic person.

Such attire wouldn’t be easily allowed in any society, but if this isn’t the world Eunjae was in, the culture could be entirely different.

“That’s the Divine Demon’s real name. Few know it. It seems you didn’t summon something completely strange.”

The man dressed as a woman approached me. When I saw him up close, it became more obvious. He’s trying to hide it with his clothes, but you can still see his frame.

He has undergone some degree of feminization, but it seems like there’s a limit that can’t be crossed with just that.

But why did someone like him call me?

“Chaos of the Four Seasons. A legendary monster that appeared before the hopeless one, emitting an indescribable aura and then vanishing. But in the era when the Divine Demon was still called the Heavenly Demon. The righteous faction, calling themselves the Mori thieves, attacked him, severely injuring him. Then, he met the Chaos of the Four Seasons and gained a new body and transcendent power.”

He extended his finger, painted white, and pointed at me.

“You, the ghost possessing that boy’s body. Are you the Chaos of the Four Seasons?”

If it’s Eunjae, then yes.

But here, I deny it.

“No. I don’t have such a name.”

The name the faded man held seems something I can’t use, so I gave up on naming myself.

In any case, not having a name doesn’t affect obtaining warmth much.

“But if you’re asking whether I gave what someone once called a blessing to Eunjae, then yes. I did.”

I don’t lie.

As always, I speak the truth. Someone once called it a blessing. But the actual phenomenon is different. I pour myself into it and transform it.

Still, it’s true they called it a blessing.

It’s important to create an escape route like this.

“You speak the same way as someone I know. You smell like the same filthy swindler.”

Suddenly, his expression twisted. He stepped back.

Huh? Did I make a mistake?

I cautiously observed, but he snapped his fingers.

Then, a second passed.

Something wriggled inside my head.

A creature that touches my brain? I hear the sound of a bug crawling and it stimulates my brain, causing pain.

It’s unpleasant.

A multi-legged bug crawls inside my head, touching my brain. It moves from the frontal lobe to the occipital lobe, and then to the place where my spine begins, biting into a bundle of nerves.

It hurts.

Hmm.

What is this?

Compared to the cold, this is nothing. I look at the man, thinking it’s time for retaliation. But suddenly, the ground is coming toward me.

Thud.

My body bends awkwardly and falls to the ground.

What’s going on?

Ah. Is this an involuntary reflex?

Right. If you can stimulate the brain, it’s natural to affect the signal going to the spine. As my legs scratched my nerves, my body lost balance and had a seizure.

Hmm. A bug. A bug.

There’s light, isn’t there?

Hehe.

Right in front of me, where it’s easy to steal warmth, I took the warmth.

Crack!

Oops. My mistake.

The bug twisted into a grotesque shape and burst out, completely breaking my head. Now that I think about it, if I only steal warmth from a living thing, it turns into a monster.

The bug doesn’t eat anything, but it keeps growing.

How does mass conservation work in this?

That thought popped into my head.

The bug twisted and turned into an asymmetrical, non-linear body. It means it changed into an utterly useless form.

But for some other reason, its survival time was very short.

“Master!”

“Your Excellency!”

The people around urgently shouted.

But faster than that, the man in women’s clothing acted.

In an instant, black energy gathered into his hand, and a line, mixed with black and red, was drawn in the air. That line cut the bug into pieces.

He wiped his hand as if shaking off the energy, having killed it with his bare hands.

He’s strong.

No, leading such an opponent in the direction I want is going to be too difficult, isn’t it?

But even in this situation, I have to increase the number of Harvesters.

What else can I do?

I stood up.

The life force, which could be called survival, exploded and flowed from all directions.

Crack.

A huge crack appeared where my head had been. After that disappeared, a woman with purple hair stood in its place.

It was me.

I opened my mouth with the head I had recreated.

“Leaving a parasite in your body until it grew this big, how primitive.”

Thinking about what the man in women’s clothing did earlier, I know it was a bug put inside to control the person.

But honestly, it doesn’t matter.

Honestly, it’s someone else’s body.

It’s the same as when an avatar in a game gets a status abnormality.

I did wonder whether the status abnormality would disappear, but since it left on its own, I’m relieved.

I looked further, but aside from that, there’s no light.

Just one.

This was a shocking sight, wasn’t it?

I think it will be easier to take the initiative here now.

“The petty games are over, right? Now, let’s move on to the main topic and introduce ourselves.”

Saying that the actions you just did were of no value, I spoke the words I really needed to.

“I will offer myself to you. But once you finish everything, I will take everything you have. What do you think?”

I extended my hand to the man in women’s clothing.

No, I should say it like this.

“Do you want power?”
