I Became a Level -99 Vicious Lord

The news of Otto opening the Sanctuary spread in the blink of an eye.

“Oh my God!”

“It really opened!”

The leaders of the Koutachi family, who had come running upon hearing the rumors, were amazed to see the entrance of the Sanctuary wide open.

But no one was as surprised as Javier and Kujo.

“T-this is ridiculous!!!”

“S*it…the Sanctuary is open…the Sanctuary….”

Javier and Kujo were about to faint at the sight of the wide-open entrance of the Sanctuary.

Just a few hours ago, they had been planning to assassinate Otto, but they had never even dreamt that the Sanctuary would actually open in the meantime.

“We need to break the barrier and go in right away! Don’t you think we should find out what’s going on inside?”

Javier insisted on breaking the barrier and going into the Sanctuary, shouting at the top of his lungs.

If Otto were to come out of the Sanctuary with the power of the invincible emperor inside, his ambition to become the successor would be in vain.

“Breaking the barrier, huh….”

Conrad looked at Javier’s inner thoughts and smiled smugly.

“How can you break the barrier that even I couldn’t break? Sanctuary is a place that has not been opened for the past 1,000 years, Is breaking the barrier there an easy task?”

“If we don’t discriminate against means and methods….”

“Then break it yourself. However, you should bear the responsibility for the aftermath that will inevitably come as a result of tampering with the barrier.”

“….”

“Permission granted, I hope for a good outcome.”

Conrad said so and turned his steps away from the Sanctuary.

“If there are any special circumstances, report immediately. And if that guy comes out of the Sanctuary, protect him thoroughly so that no one can harm him until I arrive. It must not be allowed for even a single hair to be harmed until I get there. Do you understand?”

“Yes, Your Highness!”

Conrad was wise.

Rather than wasting time in front of the Sanctuary that they couldn’t even enter because of the barrier, he just left.

“Uh, what do we do?”

Kujo whispered to Javier.

“Our position within the family will be greatly shaken as soon as the Sanctuary is opened.”

“For now, all we can hope for is that f**king rat dies inside the Sanctuary.”

Since there was no sharp solution, Javier and Kujo decided to spend the time enjoying the festival(?).

At present, the best scenario was for Otto to lose his life in an unfortunate accident.

***

Meanwhile, Otto who entered the “Sanctuary” stood still in front of a circular pool.

The pool was empty, but in the middle, there was a faucet-like object installed.

And in front of it, something was written in ancient letters.

Although Otto didn’t know the ancient characters, he knew what was written there.

“Those who enter the Sanctuary… cannot obtain the power of the gods with a human body… Soak your body in this pool… and you will obtain a physical body that can contain the power of the gods… was it?”

Recalling the words he saw in a past game, Otto grabbed the faucet and turned it on.

Squeak, squeak!

Gush, gush, gush!

Then, a golden liquid spewed out from the faucet and began to fill the pool.

[Notification: The quest “Physical Modification” has been activated!]

The content of the quest was as follows.

[Physical Modification]

Content: Enter the pool and reconstruct your body!

Type: Hidden quest

Level requirement: 70

Progress: 0% (0/1)

Reward: Divine Body

Note:

– “Divine Body” refers to a physical body that can freely control magic and swordsmanship.

– You may die during the process of reconstructing your body.

The “Physical Modification” quest was the first step for the ordinary character, Otto de Skuderia, to become a cheat character.

And the quest was also very easy.

All he had to do was jump into the tub and that was it.

But the success of this quest was entirely dependent on luck.

“In my experience, the failure rate is less than 1 percent. I doubt I’ll fail unless I’m extremely unlucky.”

With that thought in mind, Otto immersed himself in the golden liquid that had filled the tub.

-Splash,

Then, the liquid boiled up and an intense pain overwhelmed him.

“What, what’s going on? Why is it hurting so much… Ugh… Aaaargh!”

A scream burst from Otto’s mouth.

When he played the game and completed this quest, he had no idea that such pain existed in the game.

It would be strange for players to know the pain that their in-game characters experience, but…

“Aaaargh!”

Otto screamed so loudly that his throat felt like it would tear apart, as the pain spread throughout his entire body.

The pain was so excruciating that he was about to give up on the quest and run away from the tub.

However, his body wouldn’t move as if it had been soaked in water, and the pain only got worse.

It was like millions of fire ants were eating away at every single cell of his body.

[Notification: Physical modification in progress…]

[Notification: 1%… 2%… 3%….]

[Notification: 58 minutes and 11 seconds left until completion….]

“I, I can’t… Ughhh… I can’t endure… this kind of pain…”

Otto lost his mind due to the excruciating pain.

No matter how knowledgeable he was about this world, Otto was just an ordinary modern-day Korean who lived on Earth.

If he had the mental strength to endure this physical pain, that would have been even stranger.

Meanwhile,

Crack! Sizzle!

Otto’s body was constantly melting and regenerating due to the golden liquid.

That’s not all.

Whoosh!

Mana began to rampage.

However, Otto had no ability to control the rampaging mana.

Not only did he not know how to use mana, but he also didn’t have the mental strength to control it in this tremendous pain.

“Is this how… I’m going to… die…”

Otto couldn’t keep his eyes open.

It was a clear mistake.

He had overlooked the fact that the game “Territory War” and reality were not completely the same.

And as a result, Otto paid the price with a catastrophic event where rampaging mana swept through his entire body.

Originally, in order to obtain the “Divine Body,” he had to control the rampaging mana to allow for the reconstruction of his physical body.

“It’s really… ridiculous…”

And so, Otto lost consciousness.
