The Ruined World Was Mistaken for a Game-Chapter 23.2: Leon (4)
Translator: Dreamscribe
Back at the mansion, Jinwoo had a meal with his family for the first time in a while. Everyone had gathered except for Jinwoo’s father.
The atmosphere was heavy.
Everyone ate quickly in silence.
Clack!
Jinwoo’s grandfather, older brother, and older sister all set down their spoons at the same time.
“Hm.”
“Mmm.”
“Sigh.”
Scrape!
They all stood up at once and entered their rooms without a word.
‘What was that?’
Left alone, Jinwoo tilted his head and quietly continued eating.
...It felt a little lonely.

The next day, the subjugation force began gathering at Evanth.
FS Gaming’s Salvation Headquarters was extremely busy. Han Yong-seon and the rest of the team were all assembled in the meeting room.
“How many have gathered?”
“About 800 people have joined the subjugation force! The level restriction is set to 7.”
“What about class balance?”
“Almost no healers. I guess it’s because the church is located on the outskirts and doesn’t get much foot traffic…”
“Hm… It’ll be dangerous without healers. But if we follow the script…”
Players had gathered at Evanth for the Corrupted Goblin subjugation.
From the perspective of the Salvation Headquarters, today was the day to clash with the evil Erosion Headquarters.
Even if they failed, they could try again, but that wasn’t the point. The Salvation Headquarters supported the heroes, and the Erosion Headquarters managed the monsters, so it had become a matter of pride.
‘The Erosion Headquarters is…’
Tia, Tiris, Hasman, Hallon.
He had just used them as an excuse, but now they had truly become a part of the organization.
Anyway, having 800 participants despite the level cap was a big deal. It meant almost every player above level 7 had joined.
Since this was the first event, they were constantly monitoring things. This subjugation drew more attention than expected. It even appeared on national news, and a Hollywood master director left a post on social media.

The goblin subjugation battle is the only enjoyable war that can be experienced directly on Earth. The inspiration that blooms there will usher in a new era of art. I give my praise to Lee Jinwoo for creating such a beautiful world. So please, give me Soul Link.

Jinwoo decided to broadcast footage of the subjugation through the newly launched Arsilan Saga app, Arsilan Worlds.
The cameras would be managed by the Magic Developers.
“It almost feels like we have a dedicated Arsilan broadcasting station now. Haha.”
“That actually doesn’t sound like a bad idea.”
“Huh?”
Han Yong-seon’s idea was quite good. Though it was still a distant concept, if the number of players increased, it might be nice to broadcast news-like content through Arsilan Worlds.
Jinwoo stood up from his seat.
“I’ll head to the lab now.”
“Yes! Understood.”
With that, Jinwoo left and headed for the Research Lab.
When he was at the lab, no one disturbed him, so he could stay in Arsilan as much as he wanted.
‘Then…’
Jinwoo arrived at the church in Evanth.
The interior of the church was ordinary. There was a statue of the Goddess Ella, and puppet NPCs controlled by the Magic Tower were acting as clerics, managing the church.
And in the innermost room sat Airi, wearing a veil and a black cloth covering her eyes.
When Jinwoo entered the room, Airi turned her head and looked at him.
“Jinwoo nim!”
Airi stared at Jinwoo blankly, then burst into tears.
“Waaaah. I was so scared!”
“What’s there to be scared of in a church?”
“T-that someone like me is in a church that serves Ella nim! My soul is going to be ripped to shreds and vanish!”
Airi was desperate, but Jinwoo just let it slide.
“She’ll understand. Besides, she’s not here now. Probably already vanished, don’t you think?”
“T-that’s blasphemy!”
Jinwoo shrugged his shoulders.
“You, a demon, really don’t have the right to say that.”
“That’s true, but...”
“Your role this time is important. You know that, right?”
“Y-yes, but how could I possibly stand before the heroes like th-that...?”
Anyone could tell just by looking that Airi was a Saintess.
Once she appeared, the players would naturally start making their own assumptions.
“You just have to do what you’re good at.”
"Huh?"
“There’s already a shortage of healers among the heroes, so go charm them like crazy and turn them all into clerics.”
“D-do you really think I can be of help?”
“Of course. I believe in you. You’re a succubus who can handle this.”
Jinwoo patted Airi’s shoulder in encouragement.
“I-I’m a succubus who can handle this...”
“You’re a succubus who can do anything well.”
“I... I...”
“You’re the best.”
Jinwoo raised Airi’s self-esteem with praise.
Airi trembled slightly and gave a small nod.
In Rainsword, demons weren’t discriminated against.
The great Archmage standing before her had accepted demons who had fled from the Demon Realm without prejudice. He had given them a place to live and even brought them hope.
‘What I can do…’
It was time to repay the kindness.
Airi’s aura began to change.
Click!
The long-dormant succubus switch in Airi had flipped on.
“I’ll do it.”
“Good!”
“I’ll seduce everyone.”
“Mm! That’s the spirit!”
“Haa, I’ll make them all my slaves. I’ll corrupt them into loyal hunting dogs who follow only me. I’ll turn them into pets who crawl beneath my feet, drooling…”
“Yeah! That’s the... wait, huh?”
A pink aura began to rise from Airi’s body.
The hearts in her eyes became more vivid. The pink aura was so strong it even seeped through the cloth covering her eyes.
‘Uh, um...’
Jinwoo took a step back.
She would probably calm down in time.
“A-anyway, stay on standby.”
“Yes. Fufufufu... the succubus who can do anything well will be waiting here for her master’s call.”
It looked a little no, very, ominous, but at least she seemed motivated, which was a relief.
Jinwoo quietly slipped out of the place and headed for Evanth’s central square, where the subjugation force had gathered.
‘The preparations are perfect.’
I’ll make it so they can’t think of anything but Arsilan.
Jinwoo smiled deeply as he looked out over the players.
