2023-04-09 23:25:42Six ugly mermaid-like creatures surrounded Gin with glowing red eyes. Gin had time to think about hitting them, he could still do it in the water. He could even break the mermaid's hand that held his wrist.
But his instincts told him to be quiet, even when they made him bleed. He shouldn't hurt them no matter what.
A screen suddenly covered his view.
[Welcome to the Well of the Abyss]
[Do you want to continue?]
[<YES> <NO>]
Gin fell silent, almost out of breath. He had been drinking water from this well as Leogus had instructed, but he wasn't sure if he could control his magic.
It was worth a try. As long as he felt stronger than them, he could beat them if he was threatened.
He chose Yes.
[Automatic adaptation is enforced]
[……]
[Now you can breathe and talk underwater]
Gin did not feel anything different. He tried to take his breath slowly. He could breathe, as if there was air in this water.
"I can talk." He was amazed by this unique ability. Never before had human technology been able to do this so advanced.
[Converting ultrasonic waves]
[……]
[Temporary skill acquired: communicate with the inhabitants of the abyss.]
Gin stared at the mermaid holding him. They seemed to be looking into something.
"Say! Are you an enemy or a friend?"
She spoke. The scary mermaid had been talking since earlier. Unfortunately, Gin's human body limited his ability to hear their voice.
"I came to control my magic."
The creature released his wrist. The others got away from him and then swam behind their leader.
"We sense abyss magic from you. But you don't look like an abyss creature."
Gin wasn't sure if he should tell them everything. They would probably fight him. Kiran might be the only party that accepted the presence of a disaster. Gun believed he would be looked upon as an enemy by other creatures.
"I'm not. I came from above. I got this magic from the dragon's core but I can't control it."
She looked at Gin suspiciously. But after considering that Gin could survive in this water, her defense decreased. Not anyone could touch the water of this well, let alone swim in it. The creature nodded then swam first.
"Come!"
She and her followers swam deeper. Gin followed her even though he didn't know where they were going. Didn't a well have a bottom? If they continued to swim deeper, they should only have stepped on the bottom of the well.
However, when they reached the bottom, they turned into a narrow tunnel that only one person could pass through. They went first one by one and Gin followed behind.
"Are you a mermaid?" Gin asked them and made them stop instantly.
Those creatures turned to him with long fangs. They didn't like the question.
"You came here without knowing anything?"
"Someone sent me here without telling me." Gin blamed Leogus. He didn't say anything about the creatures in this river, not even about this tunnel. Of course, he must have done it on purpose.
"We are sirens."
Gin had heard of sirens. Half human-fish creature who had a beautiful voice. He thought the siren was a bit prettier than them. But the sirens he knew were only fairy tales.
Gin could barely swim in the tunnel. After going through a long narrow passage, they came to the end where a metal door closed. There were no doorknobs, only fish and moon carvings above the door. They touched the door and heard the sound of metal moving. The door opened, revealing a dark space behind it.
The blue light that had followed them suddenly died the moment they passed through the door. Gin hesitated for a moment, he couldn't see anything.
"Let me see," he said slowly. Actually, he wanted to try earlier. If this place was part of the abyss, his magic should be easier to use.
Gin blinked a few times. It worked. Gradually he could see through the darkness of the water. When he realized, he was being watched by hundreds of sirens.
Gin's eyes scanned the place. More like a city in the water. There were many houses and buildings made of stone. Sirens swam to and fro like humans doing everyday activities, but there wasn't a single light in here. They could see in the dark and go about their normal activities.
Gin followed the siren that brought him. He tried to ignore their stares. With his appearance, he was striking every eye.
The siren led him into another tunnel, wider and shorter than before. The tunnel led him to a room with a tree in the middle of it. Yes, a tree underwater.
It was a golden tree, much like the oracle tree of the elves. The sirens lowered their body very deeply with their hand on their chest. Awkwardly, Gin followed them.
After that, he entered another tunnel again. The room was connected by several tunnels, who knew where they lead.
They had many tunnels. When Gin arrived at the spacious room, at first glance this place looked like an aquarium but when it was an open room, he almost thought he was in the sea. Every place was connected with these dark and lonely tunnels.
"May I ask what tree we passed earlier?"
They hissed at Gin, showing their sharp teeth. "Don't talk carelessly. They are our God!"
Gin was still following them while contemplating it. The golden tree seemed to exist in several worlds. The elves refer to it as an oracle, but here the tree was worshiped as a god.
But for Gin, the tree looked more like an administrator. The tree knew everything that happened to him. Or even better, they knew about the past and things that no one else knew. If the system exists, then there could be an administrator. Moreover, they could take his consciousness when Gin had magic resistance. Likely they enter into his system instead of using magic on him.
They finally came out of the tunnel again. Gin was blinded by a very bright light. He couldn't see anything here.
"Catch him!" An unfamiliar voice sounded loud.
Before Gin could see who that person was, his hands were held by two strong male sirens.
"What are you doing? I'm not an enemy!"
"Our Queen will decide it!"
The Queen? Finally, Gin got used to the light in the room.
Right before him, he saw a very beautiful lady. She didn't look like a fish. Her skin was gray with crystal-like purple eyes. Her red hair danced in the water. She was wearing a bright yellow dress that glowed under the light.
"Salute to the Queen of the darkness!"

Queen of the Darkness didn't look dark in the slightest. She was glowing in the light. It was a contrast with other rooms that didn't get any light.The Queen looked kind with a pretty smile. She didn't have fins, fangs, or anything hideous. Gin almost thought she was human if it weren't for her gray skin.She swam with smooth movements as if she was floating in the middle of the room. She circled Gin then stopped in front of him. Right in front of him, so close that their chests were touching."You don't look like a human. What are you?" She asked as she brought her face to Gin. Their noses almost touch.Gin gave a cold stare, her beauty didn't affect him in the slightest. "I'm here to control my magic. Tell me how!""Oh, what a cold creature. You make this water freeze." She joked while pretending to shiver.Gin didn't react, he was silent as a statue. The Queen touched his shoulder, and with a very seductive smile, she said, "Then have a time with me. I will teach you magic."Gin r
Reincarnated As Disaster Maze Tunnels
It might sound cute, but the first thing that Gin remembered when he saw a mermaid was bubbles. Rose liked the fairy tale about a mermaid girl who turned into a bubble for the man she loved.Since the sirens looked like mermaids, why didn't he make them bubble too?The other bubbles exploded one by one. The narrow tunnel was filled with explosions and collapsed sides. Gin used this opportunity to swam backward, pushing the sirens behind him who panicked.He could have hit them all in the water. But he needed to ensure that his magic really worked better here. And it was true."I don't even have to say anything!" Gin was amazed by his own magic.He only thought about the bubble destroying the tunnel and less than a second later it actually happened.Gin entered the pitch-black city. All the sirens looked at him with surprised faces. Meanwhile, five sirens confronted Gin by forming a line."Stop!" Each of them carried a trident as a weapon.Gin sped up his movement, swimming toward them
Reincarnated As Disaster The Villain
It was a diamond that was shaped like a fish scale. It shimmered with the light of the golden treeHe thought the object he was looking for was more abstract. Maybe like a magic ball that could float around. He didn't expect that he was looking for treasure all along.Gin took the scale from the box. He lifted it high to get a better view. It looked expensive but ordinary. What should he do about it?He put the scale to his chest, just like when he absorbed the dragon's core. Nothing happened and no notification from the system. Gin was irritated by how the system never gave him clear instructions.Should he eat it? Gin took the scale to his mouth, but before he could eat the scales, his body flew up and crashed into the wall.The side wall of the room was destroyed, and some wall hit his body. Gin brushed it away easily. In the opposite direction, he saw the Queen lifting a giant black stone with her magic. The rock flew towards Gin and again knocked down the wall.Gin was fine but t
Reincarnated As Disaster The Penalty
Intense pain assaulted Gin. It felt like thousands of knives were stabbing him from the inside, tearing his skin and trying to get out. It hurt so much that he couldn't open his eyes.Then a feeling of nausea and burning heat was felt in his chest, rising to the throat. Gin spat it out but nothing came out. He coughed, the burning feeling had disappeared a bit but he was still short of breath.The relief only lasted a few moments. After that, his heart throbbed very violently. The pain that made him want to die.Gargan could understand the pain, but she didn't feel it directly. She panicked and was confused when she saw her master fall to the ground. Meanwhile, Leogus was still calm even though his forehead was furrowed.Gin's heart felt like it was bounded by a rope and pulled together, squeezing it until it was almost crushed. Then there was a cracking sound from all over his bones. Gin was sprawled in the middle. He couldn't move as his bones started to break one by one.“Aarrggh!”
Reincarnated As Disaster Resurrect the Dead
The old man came back to life. Not only that, his body was young and fit again like the last time Gin saw him with Gerald. He was indeed that general who first fought Amenus.No one could say anything because they were too shocked, not even Gin himself.The old man sat watching his muscular arms. It was like a dream for him. He was almost carried up into the clouds and then pulled back to Kiran."I-I'm alive!" He exclaimed happily. His young legs were jumping and dancing."The high general is alive!" Everyone cheered together.Happiness overtook them. They didn't say it but their admiration for Gin grew higher. He not only saved them from Amenus but also raised the dead."If the world ends, I'm sure Lord Gin will revive us in a new world." Their faith came to such a conclusion.While they were having fun, Gin stood up. He looked down at his hand. It wasn't just about happiness for him, this was the breakthrough he needed the most.His eyes were shaking and he forgot how to breathe. Wi
Reincarnated As Disaster A Parting Gift
Gin remembered the story of the princess who was kidnapped by Amenus. He wasn't focused on details because there were too many crimes that Amenus had committed and the oracle only showed him in flashes.Now it made more sense. That elf princess was kidnapped by Amenus, meaning they were in the same place. If Gin found her, he would also find Amenus and his core.But then what? He didn't need to be told, Gin would definitely go after Amenus. Why did that elf princess have to bother seeing him in the system? If he had met her while capturing Amenus, he would save her without prompting. What the princess did seemed useless.However, Gin did not close his eyes if there were other things he might not know about. Maybe she brought the core.Gin massaged his head. It felt like something was missing here.“Where are she and Amenus? You should know that, right?"'I don't know! He is somewhere I can't reach.'Gin didn't think the oracle was lying. The last time he asked about Amenus, she answer
Reincarnated As Disaster Empty City
"Where's everybody?"Gin's spirit vanished. Looking from the magnificent fortress, this city must be very rich. Moreover, upon entering, Gin was immediately confronted with the market. A city like this should be the main route of commerce.But where were the residents?Gin stepped into the city. He walked with Gargan, just the two of them.The lamps were still on even though the sunlight was above them. Yes, lamps like modern ones. This city used electricity like on Earth. However, the houses still looked like they were from the 1800s. This city was much more modern than Kiran.Gin walked around the market right in front of the gate. All the food was displayed on the table, like a seller about to open their shop. Likewise, with fruits, even cattle were allowed to roam.Gin approached a shop that had a lot of fried chicken on the counter. The food looked like what he used to eat when he was in the orphanage.Since the food was not spoiled yet, it must not have been cooked long. This pl
Reincarnated As Disaster Amenus, The God
The statue was so large that anyone who entered through the entrance gate would see it. There was a pond surrounding it, and those who entered would wash their faces there praising Amenus. Every hair on Gin's skin was bristling. No doubt, that was a place of worship, and the one they worshipped was Amenus. "I want to vomit." Gin heard Gargan holding her vomit beside him. His stomach also churned when he saw the ugly face of Amenus so big in front of him. Many purple-robed people and ordinary people worshiped Amenus like a god. Gin's nausea grew when he heard them cheering on Amenus. It was disgusting. Worse than human excrement. All this time, Gin had only heard about how evil Amenus was. Everyone was suffering by his madness. But here, Amenus was worshiped and considered a hero. What was more disgusting than this? Of course nothing. "You worship Amenus as a god?" Gin almost bit his tongue for saying Amenus's name and God in the same sentence. "Of course! God Amenus gave us new

Baalgos
"I am Baalgos, the Ruler of the Abyss. You used my magic, but how dare you not recognize me?"Everyone ran in panic, while those still trapped there died instantly as Sammy, or whatever it was, climbed onto the spectator's bench. Gin was not the only one tormented by the presence of that creature. They didn't even have time to ask for help when their necks were choked by this deadly aura.Gin clenched his fists. Not only he couldn't breathe, but all the organs inside his body felt like they were being crushed. That creature casually sat on Gin's collapsed back on the floor. Its smile widened, stretching from one cheek to the other."I know killing you won't solve the problem. Ordering that stupid human to do it is also not very useful. But I have another way to stop you."Gin wanted to speak, but once again, only blood could be coughed up. He gripped Gargan with the remaining strength he had, even though he couldn't lift his sword."An item like this is useless to me." Baalgos stepped
The Real Enemy
If it weren't for Amenus there, they would have surely run and panicked. But they believed that Amenus could protect them from the disaster.All eyes were on Gin. The way they looked at him now was different. He was no longer Gin, the slave they used to watch. He was Gin the disaster that they had to defeat before he killed them.To be honest, Gin had no intention of killing them all. Taking them out one by one was too exhausting for him. It would be more efficient to retrieve his core and destroy the whole world at once. Wasn't that more efficient?But the fear of the dwarves had consumed them. If Panka alone was enough to frighten them, what lay before them was far more dangerous than Panka.A rotten tomato flew and hit Gin's back. It was Matt who did it. He stood there, staring at Gin with hatred."You killed everyone," he said very softly. Gin didn't hear him; his eyes had already conveyed everything.The other slaves also grabbed the rotten food they had stored in their pockets a
Accused But It Was Almost Real
"Now, what we've all been waiting for! The elf!"The crowd's cheers welcomed Gin's arrival. He wondered why he was referred to as an elf. He stood in the middle of the arena, which was completely enclosed. If it weren't for the voices of the audience, he would have thought he was alone there.Gin looked up at the ceiling. The barrier covered everything. It was shaped like a curved white roof that covered the arena. There was not even a small gap for him to see outside. He didn't know where Amenus was, and he couldn't sense anyone's aura here. Such a strong barrier couldn't have been created by just anyone."And his opponent for tonight will be... The boy!" The cheers died down as Sammy emerged. The audience began murmuring among themselves, creating a loud rumble.Sammy walked timidly. When he reached the edge of the arena, he hesitated and went back inside."I don't want to die! Please help me! I don't want to!" His pleas touched the hearts of many, or at least they pretended to be t
Against a Little Boy
Gin's desire to kill surged uncontrollably. The aura of Amenus could be felt from his room. He reached for the shirt that he was wearing, clutching it tightly to restrain himself."It's not time yet. I have to hold back. If he appears now, Amenus might escape again. That cowardly demon is too weak to face me."Gin took a deep breath. He couldn't mess everything up. If his instincts were correct, Amenus hadn't arrived in this kingdom yet, but he was very close.Gin had to wait. He was certain that the moment would come. It was the last opportunity that he couldn't afford to waste.Gin opened his eyes to observe his surroundings. He managed to control himself, and those in the room were unaware of his killing aura.{Master, calm yourself. There's no need to rush; you will surely meet him later.}Unlike usual, Gargan was calming Gin and advising him to be patient. But Gargan was right; even if Gin didn't do anything now, he would still encounter Amenus. It was better for him to wait with
Lost and Found
Initially, Lilian refused Amenus' idea of taking her away with him. However, she was not in a position to give refuse. Even if she refused, Amenus would still forcibly take her.Amenus gave her a four-leaf clover-shaped necklace. The necklace looked beautiful and lovely from the outside. It resembled a gift.He pulled Lilian into the carriage and locked the door with a spell so that she couldn't jump out."You brought me just to show your cruelty?" Lilian asked sarcastically.She couldn't act gracefully in front of Amenus anymore. For the past fifty years, Amenus had tested her patience.During their journey, several fire dragons flew past them. The dragons seemed busy moving back and forth.As Lilian glanced down, she saw that the sea of fire had engulfed the entire land. Lilian bit her lip. She couldn't bear to see it. Many people had become victims, young and old.It was too painful to witness.Lilian shifted her gaze to the evening sky. The sky appeared orange and bright until the
Love Makes You Weak
Everything burned when Gerald arrived. The forest, usually filled with dense trees and fruit-bearing trees where creatures lived, had turned into pillars of fire reaching the sky.He had to be careful not to be burned by the branches. Gerald created a water barrier that helped him walk through the intense heat of the flames. With each step he took, there was only fire and more fire.Gerald's eyes swept around the forest. Some parts had already started to die down, leaving only ashes. His eyes caught sight of the remnants of some living creatures.Gerald sighed. He was too late.As far as Gerald could remember, there was a village here. He quickened his pace, hoping the village was still intact.A growl from the sky made him look up. Gerald almost stumbled when he saw a fire-breathing dragon flying above him. The dragon spewed fire from its mouth, engulfing everything below.The fire grew larger, and Gerald had to strengthen his barrier. But he was more concerned about that dragon.He
Became a Fighting Clown
Gin didn't care about freedom. Fighting was the only thing he sought. He could rampage through this place, head to the palace, and kill the Dwarf Queen. But that wasn't his reason for being here.He only wanted information because he believed Amenus was in a hard-to-reach place. Gin wouldn't find Amenus just by destroying this kingdom."Fight with whom?" Gin pretended to buy time.The Dwarf General was pleased with Gin's interest. A slave would do anything to be free, that was what he thought."There will be a fighting arena tonight to welcome The Lord's arrival. If you can survive in that fight, you will be free."Gin held back his smile. This was what he had been waiting for. The Lord, Amenus, would appear tonight, and he could easily confront that villain."Alright. I will do whatever you ask as long as you set me free."***Gargan and Viviz refused to leave. They waited outside the castle cave door with unwelcoming faces. Some guards tried to escort them away, but the two divine b
What's Behind A Smile
Panka was standing in front of them, its nostrils right in front of the leader's face. The sound of the closing door was the second horror.After realizing the danger ahead, the dwarves screamed in unison and ran towards the door.The door was closed, secretly shut by Viviz. They were in a state of panic, with their pants even wet from urine. Their hands pounded on the iron door in vain."Help! Help us! Open the door!""Open the door!""I still want to live! No! I'm still a virgin!"While they were shouting in a frenzy, Panka sat back down on the floor. The beast calmly waited for Gin's command.They were too panicked to notice the presence of Gin and the others. The dwarves began various attacks to open the door, but from the beginning, the door was designed not to be easily opened from the inside.They unleashed fire magic, air magic, and even multiple explosions. Gin watched them like a fireworks festival. The thunderous sound couldn't even be heard by the guards outside."We're go
Taming A Beast
Despite what it looked like, Panka behaved like a dog. The creature stuck out its tongue, dripping sticky saliva that was repulsive.Gin took a few steps back to avoid the saliva."What do you mean, I am your owner? How could it be? This is the first time we've met."Panka tilted its head to the right and the other head to the left, colliding with each other in the middle. "But you called me.""I never called you. You were already here when I arrived."If Gin paid attention, Panka's mouth didn't move as it should when it spoke. But its voice entered his head as if Gin could understand the language of dogs, or whatever it was.Its voice sounded like a boy, so Gin assumed Panka was male. There was only one voice that could be heard even though Panka had two heads. The heads also showed the same expressions as the other head. Two heads, one consciousness, that was the closest conclusion."You called me, I could sense your presence, but when I came, you weren't here, Master. I thought we
