Overgeared

The pollen blown on the breeze left green marks on the window frames. It was spring. Unlike the central part of the continent that suffered from cold winters, the southern part of the continent was warm. Children could be heard running around at the entrance of the alley. The expressions of the wives who watered the flowerbeds and chattered were calm. Laundry lines hung between houses and the houses smelled like people were living there.

The scenery of the village was ordinary and nothing special. The players had no doubts until the glorious moon revealed its presence in the dark sky.

Kiyaaaaaah!

"S-Shit, what is this?!"

"Hiiik!"

The boys who wanted to kick the ball, the girls showing off their flower garlands, the young people helping their fathers at work, the middle-aged people who were still soldiers in active service, the wives who greeted them with a kind smile, and the village leader who worked with a careful attitude.

The residents who seemed like ordinary villagers during the day suddenly turned into monsters. The innkeeper who asked with a nice expression if he had eaten just an hour ago now stabbed a kitchen knife in his back. The village chief, who asked him not to drink too much due to the request tomorrow, lit a fire at the entrance of the inn. His eyes were red and his skin was purple.

The identity of these villagers was the rumored demonic humans.

"What the hell? Was there something we missed?" the martial artist, who was stabbed in the back while eating soup, shouted nervously. He was a powerful person who gained fame in several regions and he fought back. He smashed his ultimate skill into the innkeeper's face.

The swordsman replied as the innkeeper's wife rushed over with a wok, "We didn't let our guard down. They didn't have the characteristics of a demonic human."

A magician fell down after being stabbed in the thigh by the innkeeper's daughter and son.

"Oh my god. The rumor about the demonic humans having learning ability is true. These sons of a bitches... they are becoming better at hiding their identity."

"Caviar!"

"Check the timing when calling someone's name... Keok!"

"Kuaaack...!"

It took only five minutes for a party to be wiped out. This was despite the fact that they were a mid-sized party of eight players who were at least level 300. The attacks of the demonic humans were so sudden and effective. The moment they saw the scene of the innkeeper and his wife standing up like zombies in their black and white vision, they opened their eyes again at the resurrection point they set at different locations.

Some of them were in despair. The residents of villagers and cities they had been based in for months and years had also been turned into demonic humans.

"T-This is crazy..."

"No way! I've lived in this city for years! I've spent a few nights with these people! These people originally weren't demonic humans! Ack!Aaaack!"

The turmoil across the continent accelerated. Breaking news broke out that people of hundreds of villages and cities had been turned into demonic humans. The number of players that died jumped from thousands to tens of thousands in just a few days. Dozens of villages and cities were destroyed in the fierce battle between demonic humans and players.

The dark elves were also involved. The elves of the world tree weren't necessarily corrupted. It was the female and male elves known to have left the world tree in the wake of some incident. They were eroded by demonic energy somewhere and returned to their homeland. It was far from a valuable return. They were like the blades of a knife and with a strong intention to kill.

By the time the Overgeared Kingdom received news that the imperial army guarding the outskirts of the World Tree Forest had been wiped out by the dark elves, Basara had already dispatched new troops. The response was very swift, but Lauel's expression was dark. "The empire has dispersed a large number of troops to hunt the demonic humans. In fact, it is safe to call it a civil war. There will be a limited number of reinforcements that can be sent to the world tree."

The empire was the nation that was suffering the most damage from the demonic humans. Their problem was that the land mass was too big and there were too many people. There were countless villages in the empire and not all of them could be managed. It was impossible even for the empire to identify and manage villages that were set up without permission in remote areas in 'real-time.'

Even if a village was found and cleaned up through periodic reconnaissance and surveillance, new villages were being built in another place at the same time. Thus, there was no end. The residents of these unauthorized villages could easily become the target of the demonic humans. They weren't protected by the empire so it was easy for the Yatan Church to get close.
