[Some constellations wish to contract with you.]

My vision was plastered with a flood of notifications. It felt like looking at a top star’s phone with SNS alerts turned on.

‘What’s this? They weren’t interested at all until just now.’

Is the skill that appeared for me good? Or is it because I know how to use the status window? Why are contracts pouring in like this?

With those thoughts, as I checked each notification, a familiar pattern emerged. Next to the message requesting a contract were the nicknames of the constellations who sent them.

[The One with a Hundred Tongues] 

[Watcher of the Cool Deep Night] 

[Owner of the Lost Wings]

[Black Snake of the Glass Mountain]

. .

[The Whispering Fence]

Contract requests with no end in sight even as I scrolled down. Were constellations always this eager? Well, judging by their chatter in the gallery, many of them are probably just spectators.

‘But are these really sent by constellations?’

What kind of names are these? Since I couldn’t tell what was what, I checked the nickname of the constellation at the very top, meaning the one who sent a contract first.

[The One with a Hundred Tongues]

A hundred tongues? Just imagining it is fucking disgusting. Still, should I at least look at the contract?

As soon as I opened the contract, my brows furrowed. A wall of text from the very first contract. A brick-sized volume that took my breath away. Sigh… I should check it anyway.

[Constellation Contract: The One with a Hundred Tongues]

“If you’re reading this document now, it means you’re already a cautious person. Very excellent. But being too cautious means missing opportunities.”

“A contract with a constellation is only once. Once chosen, you cannot change it until death. But not contracting with anyone is a foolish choice.”

“A human without a constellation is a beginner. A human with a constellation is one with a profession. The difference is stark. Beginners can only use human-series skills, but an incarnation (化身) gains power befitting a god. And the power you gain differs depending on which constellation you contract with.”

“Now, are you hesitating? Don’t worry. The answer is very simple. Choose me.”

“Of course, I cannot reveal what constellation I am or what skills I provide here. It’s the rule. But doesn’t the fact that I’m kindly providing you with this information inspire trust?”

“Let me give you more to trust. If by chance among the contracts you’ve received are ‘Watcher of the Cool Deep Night,’ ‘Owner of the Lost Wings,’ ‘Black Snake of the Glass Mountain,’ be careful. They are, in order, ‘Anubis,’ ‘Icarus,’ ‘Nidhogg.’ They’re constellations full of greed who send contracts as soon as they see the First Hunter, and they’re constellations with no notable abilities compared to what’s known about them.”

“Look at my nickname. As mentioned earlier, a constellation’s nickname is related to its true name. The One with a Hundred Tongues… What feeling does it give you? Persuasiveness? Eloquence? Cunningness? Yes, that’s right. I am such an entity. And if you receive the blessing of such an entity, what power will you gain? Imagine. The power to move the world in the direction you want.”

“Opportunity comes only once. Choose carefully. But those who hesitate gain nothing.”

…Wow. As I read, this reeks too much of a scam? And this is just the introduction. I should stop reading. Besides, is this bastard allowed to just reveal and disparage others’ true names like that?

Wait, what if they’re really trying to help? What if they’re revealing real landmines, warning me because constellation selection is such an important event?

I shook my head. I almost fell for the bullshit. Besides, at some point, the contract alerts stopped.

‘What? Is that all there is? Or did it lag because too many came in?’

Well, that’s fine. If more came, I might spend my whole life just reading contracts.

[Title: Whoa  This Actually Appears] Something that appears maybe once in 10 dimension runs appears for a First Hunter And that First Hunter even knows how to use the status window right away in a 1999 setting  Is the game broken?

ㄴHonestly, that one should contract with nobody.

ㄴBell-broke trash game died.

ㄴHas that thing ever appeared before? Is it good?

 ㄴWelcome newbie.

[Title: Info) Don’t Send Contracts Carelessly] Looks like people will send a ton of contracts since the constellation’s spirit appeared Really think carefully before sending, okay. The constellation’s spirit is definitely one of the top 3 passive skills But it’s not entirely good, seriously I’m only telling you this much for conscience’s sake, but really be careful By the way, I’m not sending one, for real, seriously.

ㄴThis is correct Info.

ㄴThe few who got the constellation’s spirit mostly had such good skills that they grew rapidly and then suddenly died.

ㄴ??? If the skills are good, why did they suddenly die?

ㄴExcellent mental strength=No fear=Thinks they’re the strongest=Charges in without thinking=Sudden death.

ㄴhoney badger mode.

ㄴAnd yet here they are trying to send contracts.

[Title: I Didn’t Send One Because I Got Scared by the Sticky Post] Definitely not giving up because I’m too late, seriously I really raised my divinity and grew them, but what if they just go off on their own and die?

ㄴWith the constellation’s spirit, it’s fun to raise them.

 ㄴYou’re giving up when divinity supply is so messed up? 

ㄴAre you an idiot? You suck the sweet divine power in the beginning, and when they die, you contract with a new incarnation using the supplied divine power .

ㄴDon’t reveal the know-how, damn it!

ㄴWhat’s funny is that the comment above only knows one thing and not two lol. Even if you pile up divinity in the late game, there are no decent candidates for contracts, you idiotic non-believer 

ㄴFor real .

ㄴFor real .

ㄴI agree, even if there are candidates not chosen by constellations, try raising them with wasted divinity and see how wide the gap becomes.

The more I browsed the gallery, the more confused I became. So is it good or bad? Rather than judging by these exaggerated posts, I’d better judge for myself.

“Status window.”

Oh, right. I was told I could do it mentally. How embarrassing. Anyway, checking my skills is the priority.

────────────── 

[Constellation’s Spirit] Grants steel-like mental strength that remains unshaken even in desperate situations. Maximizes resistance to all fear and illusion-like mental attacks. Based on overwhelming psychological advantage, your beliefs will not be easily broken.

[Precaution] However, this skill may not activate normally in the presence of beings with too large a difference in rank. But even in that moment, your will shall become the last wall protecting yourself.

Grade: ??? 

Type: Passive 

──────────────

“Wow, crazy.”

I couldn’t help but exclaim. This is no joke, better than I thought? Roughly, no matter how crazy the situation gets, at least my mental strength won’t collapse.

But the precaution highlighted in red text bothers me a little, just a little. Simply put, this skill becomes useless when something beyond my capacity appears.

‘It would be best not to encounter such beings… but this isn’t a bad start.’

I closed the status window again and exhaled deeply.

[Title: Why This Bastard’s Skill Is Fucking Overpowered] I’ll recite the effects.

1. Immunity to mental status effects like confusion, fear, despair 
2. No judgment impairment due to psychological fluctuations 
3. Maintains logical thinking even in extremely stressful situations 

Who would survive in these situations? The cold and calm fucker survives, seriously Since it’s so overpowered, it’s a skill you almost never see appear

ㄴThey say you die suddenly.

ㄴThey said it’s not entirely good? 

ㄴIt’s extremely good, you stupid bastards 

ㄴDon’t you know about competitor elimination? ㄴfkdgisneorjtigowz.

[Title: 2 Kilometers East of First Hunter Attention] Isn’t that one approaching the First Hunter? 

ㄴSeems right? 

ㄴHuh? But they’re an incarnation? 

ㄴHey damn, they already contracted .

ㄴScrewed LOL First Hunter is about to die right after getting a top-rank passive skill.

[Title: My Believer Will Kill the First Hunter So Enjoy Watching] I’ll end it quickly so don’t expect too much LOL Just hope they don’t suddenly buy a gun like a crazy person.

ㄴHey but how are they finding the First Hunter so accurately? 

ㄴFYI, I Sent a revelation.

ㄴAre you crazy, you sponsored 100 million gold? 

ㄴ I’ll explain later, now I’m busy anticipating how my investment will turn out.

ㄴWow damn they already deployed a substitute

ㄴSending a revelation means they also explained how to use the status window, right? That one is really screwed.

[Title: Why First Hunter Is Screwed] They say they sent a revelation to that incarnation running That means they have 100 million gold, and they probably explained how to use the status window, right? If they invested the sponsored money, the First Hunter with their current specs definitely can’t win.

ㄴHonestly, I can see why they sent the 100 million revelation to that one.

ㄴI agree, I would have made the same choice if I had enough divinity.

ㄴSo what’s the reason, damn it?.

ㄴAlready told you.

…What is this saying? I guess ‘First Hunter’ refers to me. Someone is approaching me? 

And that incarnation or whatever is going to kill me?

It’s confusing, but I’m not very scared. It’s not because I think they’re just trolling in the gallery. From the way the gallery users post, it seems like something is really moving.

‘Is it because of the passive skill ?’

Before fear or anxiety rushes in, the first thought that comes to mind is ‘So what should I do?’

[Title: Why Send Revelation to That One and Not the First Hunter;;] I really don’t know Someone explain to me.

ㄴIf I can’t have the constellation’s spirit, I’ll destroy it? Is that basically it? That’s all I can think of.

ㄴSimilar but a bit different.

ㄴReally? Newbie bastards.

ㄴJust watch for now.

ㄴAnyway, unless the First Hunter buys a gun from the store, consider him dead.

ㄴYeah, you’ll know the reason after he dies.

‘…Crazy bastards.’

Dead unless I buy a gun? What will you do if I buy one? I immediately opened the status window and searched the store section.

[Search: Gun]

Several items appear, but the first to catch my eye was:

[Modified Revolver for Russian Roulette – 650G]

Your fate rests on a single bullet. 

A pistol with minimal precision and simple structure. 

Can be used without any special training.

The name looks like trash at first glance, but reading the description, it seemed usable enough. The simplicity of use is most important.

[Purchase]

Next:

[Russian Roulette Revolver Special Ammunition (6 shots) – 60G]

Again, immediate purchase without hesitation. As soon as I got the gun and bullets, the gallery exploded with reactions.

[Hey the crazy bastard bought a gun!!][824]

[The apostle who spent 100 million is about to evaporate LOL][112]

[The result of underestimating Koreans LOL][53]

[???:As long as he doesn’t buy a gun… First Hunter: Gun, please] [67]

[Divine gone][21] 

[Wow damn look at him finding the store first][87]

[Time to send another revelation?][359]

[The incarnation I invested 100 million in just got fked] [1307]
