After the battle with Cerberus was successfully concluded,
Taehyung, who had finally returned home after various twists and turns, was watching a video on YouTube.
It was a video uploaded by someone, showing a human facing two Cerberus.
The person in the video seemed to dodge the powerful attacks of the Cerberus without getting hit even once, as if possessed, and his movements resembled acrobatics.
“This… is me.”
At that time, there was no one nearby. The road was deserted, with no passing cars.
“Well…”
Taehyung scratched his head.
It felt strange and amazing to see himself in the video like this. It felt like he was appearing on TV?

[Trending #12]
Considering it was uploaded by a YouTuber with only 1000 subscribers, the views were remarkably high, especially for a freshly uploaded video.
“Wow…”
Taehyung exclaimed while watching the video.
“Did I really it dodge like that?”
The way he appeared in the video was like a feat in itself.
It was truly daring, precarious. But not getting hit even once.
Back then, he didn’t realize it, but now watching it, he understands it clearly.
“I must have been crazy.”
To confront such huge and formidable monsters with such audacious actions.
Especially considering he was usually a coward.
Even after watching it several times, it was hard to believe.
The video continued until both Cerberus were completely defeated, and there were already many comments.
– What am I watching right now?
– Damn, his moves are insane haha
– Is this a movie shoot? lol
– Wait, is that even possible? Is that person a hunter?
└ Of course. How can an ordinary person move like that? Even athletes couldn’t. But it must be difficult even for a hunter. Probably a skilled one?
– But he’s not using his left arm at all? Could it be a handicap?
└ Oh, really? He really doesn’t use his left arm at all. It just hangs there.
└ No, then it makes even less sense, right? A person with a disabled arm making such moves?
└ It’s not impossible. The left-handed swordsman doesn’t have a right arm but still slays demons just fine.
– Wait, so what’s that guy’s identity? The video quality is so bad, I can’t even see his face.
Most of the comments were about Taehyung’s miraculous movements shown in the first half of the video, with the rest discussing the later parts.
– Who are they? Why are they suddenly fighting among themselves?
– I’ve seen a lot of combat videos, but demons fighting each other is a first.
– Intra-species rivalry, damn
– They couldn’t even hit a measly human, I bet they’re feeling embarrassed. Even I would just teamkill and bite my tongue if I were in his shoes.
– But did anyone notice the tiny droplets? When they entered Cerberus’ mouth, it went berserk suddenly?
└ Oh? That’s true?
└ Is it a slime? It looks like one.
└ Nah, slimes are bigger than that. Where would you find such a small slime in the world?
└ Isn’t that just Cerberus drool?
└ Maybe it’s some kind of parasite?
└ Damn, the uploader should upload a better video. Can’t see a thing. What’s this, the quality sucks.
– While everyone’s wondering about the tiny thing, I think it’s likely that it entered Cerberus’ mouth and controlled its consciousness. It’s probably a summon controlled by that person. If you look closely, after Cerberus is completely defeated, that tiny thing goes up to the person’s shoulder. That means it’s a summon.
└ Oh, that sounds the most plausible.
└ Yeah, this seems legit.
└ This person has a keen eye.
– But, where did those three orcs suddenly come from at the end of the video?
└ Probably hunter reinforcements. Anyway, those hunter guys, they’ve eaten well. Look at the delay in their deployment.
└ But an orc hunter. They do exist, huh? I’ve seen plenty of elves or dwarves, but orcs are rare.
Various discussions were going on, but most were about Taehyung.
“Thank goodness the video quality is bad.”
He thought it was fortunate that his face wasn’t shown, but at the same time, he felt oddly disappointed.
“Still, it feels good. Hehe.”
Who wouldn’t like compliments? Taehyung felt the same way. There were hardly any hateful comments, so he wasn’t feeling too bad.
Taehyung turned off the video and glanced around. On his shoulder, Gloki was perched, while in the living room of his house, Karim, Kakul, and Kukul with their green skin were diligently devouring something.
It was Karim, Kakul, and Kukul, who were enthusiastically devouring the Jokbal that Taehyung had ordered.
“As expected, Jokbal are the best.”
“I agree.”
“If only I could learn how to make this, I’d have no wishes left.”
Watching the guys eat as if they were possessed, Taehyung stared blankly.
“Wow… They really eat well in a creepy way. If I make an eating show with them, it might be a hit.”
Thinking that next time he should order chicken, Taehyung enjoyed watching the guys eat for a while.
“Burp.”
“Well done, Lord.”
“As expected, you’re the best, Lord.”
After they finished eating and roughly cleaned up, Taehyung asked the orcs who were patting their stomachs contentedly.
“I didn’t summon you, so how did you end up here?”
“Lord. Well…” Karim began explaining.
It was a long and verbose explanation, but the essence was one.
– He instinctively knew that the Lord was in danger. Since he desperately wished to move to the Lord, he was moved.
That’s it.
“So you realized that I was in danger?”
“Yes.”
“Really?”
“What’s this? Did he acquire a skill?”
Soon, as he checked Karim’s skill list, there was a skill he had never seen before, along with system messages he hadn’t confirmed yet.
[Lord is in danger!
-Karim earnestly wished. If any danger comes to the Lord, he would willingly sacrifice himself to save the Lord. Karim wished to reach the Lord in one leap across dimensions, and such earnest will of Karim was transmitted to the system.
-When it is determined that the linked subject (Kim Taehyung) is in a critical or dangerous situation, Karim can teleport with his subordinates across dimensions and space to the linked subject (Kim Taehyung). However, the number of subordinates he can bring may vary depending on the rank.]
“Crazy.”
Taehyung unwittingly muttered curses.
“What kind of scam skill is this again?”
So, it’s not a summoning skill but some sort of emergency skill?
“That’s why.”
Now he understood. How did this guy come here without being summoned?
“Are you here to protect me then?”
“That’s right. Exactly that.”
“For that, you seemed to have arrived too late?”
“That, well… umm!”
Scratching his head as if nonchalant, Karim suddenly cleared his throat.
“We were in the middle of a war. I was fighting with the Lizardman Chief, and it took some time to deal with him and come here…”
“Hehe. No, it’s fine. I was just kidding. I won’t blame you. You even awakened a skill to protect me. Thanks. And to both of you.”
Taehyung smiled and patted the shoulders of the three orcs.
Is it because he heard words of thanks? Karim seemed noticeably embarrassed.
At that moment, Gloki, who had been quietly resting on his shoulder, suddenly spoke up.
[Master. Cerberus, Gloki, caught.]
“Huh?”
[Gloki caught it.]
“Oh, yeah. You caught it. I know.”
[Gloki did a good job.]
Why is he suddenly saying that? Taehyung soon chuckled inwardly.
“Do you want to be praised?”
Gloki, despite his appearance, had cute aspects to him.
“Yeah. Well done. Without Gloki, we would have been in big trouble.”
Taehyung carefully stroked Gloki’s body with his finger. Then, Gloki jumped up in place, sparkling.
[Hehe.]
“By the way, you two are meeting for the first time. You should at least say hello to each other.”
Taehyung picked up Gloki and placed it on Karim’s palm. It was a gesture of greeting.
The orc and the slime looked at each other. There was a moment of silence. Karim broke the silence.
“Did you say Gloki? You seem quite remarkable like me.”
[I know. Gloki is originally remarkable.]
“But, there’s something certain. I am the Lord’s first subordinate. You are the second.”
[I know.]
“So, I will protect the Lord.”
[There is no need for an order in protecting the Lord. It is an inferior useless act.]
“Huh? What’s this situation?”
Are they having some sort of conflict?
Like a rank competition?
“No, rather than that… just simple jealousy?”
Taehyung felt like Gloki was making a pitiful expression towards Karim.
Taehyung stifled his laughter and patted Karim.
“Hey hey. Why fight again? Get along well. You are all family anyway.”
[There is neither good nor bad relationship. High orc Karim and the ancient slime Gloki are equally within the Lord’s household.]
“Yeah yeah. So just get along well.”
Taehyung picked up Gloki and placed it on Karim’s head.
[Ugh.]
Then, Gloki’s translucent body seemed slightly upset.
[Dislike.]
Gloki showed a strong rejection and then began to tremble before jumping up high.
Thud! Thud!
Then, it landed on Taehyung’s head.
[Satisfied.]
Only then did Gloki’s upset body return to its original state.
[Hehe.]
“Phew.”
Taehyung let out a long sigh.
“What is this…”
It felt like he had taken on another piece of homework that needed solving.
*
It’s not something that can be laid down at Taehyung’s house indefinitely. Taehyung spent some time and then returned the summons to their original mission.
Karim, amidst waging war with the formidable lizardmen forces, quickly returned to command the orcs, while Gloki, relatively relaxed, was taken by Taehyung for a little longer before being sent back.
There was something healing about touching Gloki’s resilient body, so Taehyung indulged in keeping him for a bit longer.
After keeping him for almost two hours more, Taehyung decided to summon b whenever he felt like it in the future.
And so Gloki returned to the ranks of the summoned.
Watching the giant wasps vigorously flapping their wings and feeling challenged, Gloki finally made up his mind.
[Mutation execution feasible].
It was the beginning of a plan.
Gloki’s vast army of giant wasps had gathered enough information through relentless warfare.
[Internal component repository]
-Giant wasp larvae spawning ability
-Giant wasp exoskeleton
-Fast wing flapping
-Freely maneuverable aerial rotation ability
-Wasp stinger
-Integrated obedience system
-Single-species reproductive control
-Increased size
The selection process began. Gloki began manipulating dozens of components stored in his body according to the planned changes. He touched what needed fixing, left alone what shouldn’t be interfered with, and discarded what was unnecessary.
[Having one queen bee responsible for all reproduction is a great survival strategy for a colony, but not suitable for Gloki.]
The first thing was a change in the reproductive system.
Shaking the foundation.
[Gloki mutates components in the internal component repository.]
Gurgling!
Something unseen inside Gloki’s body twisted wildly.
[Gloki mutates components injected into giant wasp subspecies under the giant wasp army.]
The wasps suddenly began trembling uncontrollably. It was the sound of change.
Gurgle!
Gurgle!
The sound of something twisting wildly echoed. After a moment, the trembling of the wasps subsided.
[A change has occurred in the composition of the giant wasp army.]
[‘Queen bee’ has been deleted, and ‘spawning bee’ has been created.]
[From now on, some of the giant wasps in the giant wasp army will perform the role of ‘spawning bee.’]
Next was the strengthening of the obedience system.
[The component ‘integrated obedience system’ has mutated to be strengthened. Giant wasps under Gloki’s command will obey more blindly. Without further mutation to this component, no mental interference will be allowed.]
Now, there were no queen bees among Gloki’s giant wasps.
Only spawning bees responsible for reproduction.
[Successful.]
The reproductive issue was resolved. Now the wasps could maintain their numbers without queen bees.
However, Gloki was not satisfied with this.
[Further reinforcement of the species is needed.]
For that, Gloki took out one component.
It was something he had absorbed just this morning.
Something deliberately stored in the repository without being absorbed.
[Gloki injects the component ‘Cerberus’s exoskeleton’ into the giant wasps under the giant wasp army.]
At that moment.
[The giant wasps undergo a transformation.]
Sizzle!
Intense trembling began to emanate from the giant wasps.
After the battle with Cerberus was successfully concluded,
