Chapter 166: Grim Reaper Cult (2)

Arriving at the meeting place, Ryu Min was slightly taken aback.

Min Juri, already in the passenger seat, gestured for him to get moving.

Where are we going?

Yangpyeong.

Why there?

Theres the cult based there. Im scared to go alone Youll come with me, right?

Looking at him with puppy-dog eyes, he couldnt say no.

What cult is it?

Lets go first. Ill tell you when we get there.

She was obviously hiding something, but he already knew what it was.

As expected, its the Grim Reaper Cult.

The Grim Reaper Cult, created by Heo Tae-seok, was located in Gyeonggi Province, Yangpyeong.

He hadnt visited yet but remembered seeing a promotional post on the Player Haven caf.

Last time in the other world, Min Juri seemed interested, so he slyly gave her the address.

He wasnt particularly busy, and it was just an hours drive from Seoul, so time wasnt an issue.

Spending some time with Min Juri isnt a bad idea, considering there arent many months left for us to hang out.

With a bit of excitement, Ryu Min silently drove them there.

Min Juri was grateful to him.

Thanks for coming with me. I dont have anything to give you but heres a buff for strength!

Ha, ha that does give me strength.

While it had nothing to do with driving, it really helped calm him down.

Were here.

After an hours drive, they arrived at a small village.

One wouldnt typically imagine a cult in such a place, but there it was.

The building looked like a run-down village hall.

Min. Is this the place?

Yeah. According to the address he gave me, this should be it.

As they approached, the first thing they noticed was a wooden signboard with Chinese characters carved into it.

Grim Reaper Cult ()? You wanted to come here?

At Ryu Mins question, Min Juri nodded shyly.

Yeah what the Grim Reaper Cult is.

I know. Its the group that idolizes the black scythe.

Ah? You knew about it?

I saw a promotional post on the Player Haven.

With that, Ryu Min asked seriously,

So, youre thinking of joining?

No, I just wanted to see what its like.

Lies. Youre planning to join.

Ryu Min was curious, too.

He knew of the existence of the cult but had never visited its headquarters.

At one point, its presence had seemed to vanish.

Heo Tae-seok was famous as the cults leader until round 15.

The infamous 15th round was so brutal that even the cult leader had vanished.

This time might turn out differently.

While the cultish vibe was strong, there was no denying the allure of being revered.

Moreover, in round 12, the cult started to amass followers from other countries, quietly growing in power.

Maybe I could scout and develop some useful talents from here?

It could be beneficial for Ryu Min in the future.

Shall we go in and see how its set up?

With a slight sense of anticipation, they entered the cults interior, which was underwhelming.

The gloomy atmosphere was only matched by mats and straw mats on the floor.

A common village hall, no, even less impressive than that.

And there werent many people gathered.

Is this all there is?

Besides Ryu Min and Min Juri, there were only about five other people, all strangers except for two.

Welcome. New followers.

As Heo Tae-seok pushed someone forward, a man approached them with a smiling face.

Eom Jun-seok?

Both Heo Tae-seok and Eom Jun-seok hadnt customized their avatars, as their in-game and real-life appearances matched.

Welcome to the Grim Reaper Cult. Did you come to join?

No, just looking around.

You seem like a player, huh? Do I know you?

Eom Jun-seok tilted his head curiously at Min Juri.

Have we met before?

I was introduced to you in the other world.

Oh? Are you, by any chance, the Buffer? Is your nickname Democracy?

Yes, thats me.

As Min Juri revealed her role as a buffer, Eom Jun-seok couldnt hide his surprise.

Heo Tae, I mean, Cult Leader? Cult Leader!

What is it, Eom Cardinal?

Their internal titles of Cult Leader and Cult Cardinal elicited a snort from Ryu Min, but he held back.

Right now, their influence might be minimal, but in a few months, it would grow significantly.

The cult was not to be underestimated.

Here is the partner of Black Scythe, Democracy!

Oh, really?

Heo Tae-seok brightened up and approached Min Juri.

Partner?

That word caught his attention, but it wasnt entirely incorrect.

Really, youre Democracy?

Yes. And you are Mr. Aged Man?

Ha, ha, yes. I am Aged Man No Gay. You seemed mature in the other world, but youre actually a young college student? Early 20s?

Yes. Im 20.

Heo Taeseok naturally turned his attention to Ryu Min.

So who might this be, if not Black Scythe?

Just a friend.

And your nickname is?

After a moment of hesitation, Ryu Min revealed the nickname he had not even shared with Min Juri.
