I Became a Genius Mage in the Cthulhu Game - Chapter 460
Only Ranovel
Chapter 460
Episode 460 Brief Tutorial
‘First of all, it is clear that my condition changes depending on the [degree of airtightness] of the space.’
Just a moment ago, I felt like I was going to lose my breath, but as soon as I got outside, I felt fine, as if there had been no problem.
Rapidly expanding sensing capabilities.
Wide open entrance.
Jang Hyeon-deok and Heo Sang-hyeon are confused, not knowing what to do. I want to go back to their side right away, but I can’t.
[System: ‘Enhanced Vigilance’ is activated.]
Because the danger approaching me could attack them. In the end, only a brief message is sent to them.
『Stay there because it’s dangerous. Just solve this problem and I’ll explain everything.』
Command sent to command golems.
『Repair the damaged mansion and unconditionally exclude any intelligence that approaches the mansion.』
Command golems clinging to the broken front door with a clanging sound.
As soon as it is confirmed that there is no need to worry about the back, the sense of movement moves forward.
Is it true that this is a problem that requires this level of tension? Intelligence stat that analyzes the situation at high speed.
and… … . uh… … .
At that point, [the danger approaching me] spoke again.
『Originally, I didn’t have much interest in lower creatures like you… … .』
With a crackling sound, bright yellow cracks appear here and there on Kongsuni’s pitch-black body. It looks like a scar created by cutting up dense shadows with light, but those are her eyes.
Blah blah blah, blah blah-
Dozens of eyes staring at me, emitting an alluring light.
‘Oh, it’s going to spin.’
The mask I am wearing now is the [Mask of Nine Lives] given to me by the [King of the Cat Country], the incarnation of [Bast]. Although it is a good mask, it has some problematic properties attached to it.
[Cat’s Friend – Charm +10 for cats in general]
Why on earth did you put something like this on it… … .
Fortunately, since I am not a believer in [Bust], this effect is only half effective. That is, +5 points.
And -4 points due to cross-race penalty.
In other words, as it is, my charm applied to Kongsuni should be 25 points. but… … .
[Noble Charisma: Receives a bonus when attempting a positive conversation with an intelligent being, and has a certain probability to prevent effects that provide a penalty to charm.]
Considering that that lazy cat from Saturn came this far, the prevention was definitely successful. Perhaps the charm currently being applied to Kongsuni is 29 points.
That means… … .
『You somehow resemble the one who gave me my name.』
Considering that she is an extraterrestrial intelligence from Saturn, the comment is quite straightforward.

Do you understand the default settings?
[Green: Dreaming from the depths.]
The madness of the feast offering is a mystery. You must observe the dinner offerings or work with others to find out.
In addition, there are several secret madnesses that are not revealed to observers or feasting sacrifices. The first person to discover the secret madness will receive additional resources.
[Green: Dreaming from the depths.]
By using resources, you can steal clues obtained by others or obtain random clues that have not yet been revealed. It is okay to trade the clues obtained in this way with others or disclose them to everyone.
[Green: Dreaming from the depths.]
You can’t do that. Because now it is the enemy’s turn.
* * *
First of all, it is a problem that my body cannot handle Kongsuni’s [Saturn-style expression of affection], but soon [Confusion – Excessive affection] will manifest and try to eat me or kill all intelligent beings related to me.
I hurriedly opened my mouth to prevent Kongsuni from starting to act in earnest.
“Well, even though you’re from Saturn, you’re like a cat from Earth…” … . I thought you used a strange name. “I guess he probably had a close friend, right?”
First, in a hurry, I tried to say all the taboo words that could reduce Kongsuni’s likeability.
Originally, Saturn cats were enemies of Earth cats, and were a race that served Nyarlathotep.
In other words, Kongsuni, who serves the [King of the Cat Country] on Earth, is a traitor to her people. If you say or do something that reminds you of this setting, you can decrease Kongsuni’s likeability.
In addition, it is forbidden to say that a name is strange, and it is also forbidden to call someone she was close to ‘human’.
‘Well, this is information I usually use when asking for cooperation.’
But I don’t think we can solve it like this. I quickly waved my right hand and changed the mask I was wearing.
“that… … .』
[Carcosa’s Mask] worn for the first time in a while.
Kongsuni serves the ancient god [King of Cat Country]. And the ancient gods have a hostile relationship with the beings of the abyss.
Wearing [Carcosa’s Mask], imbued with the power of the [King in Yellow Clothes], a being of the abyss, in front of Kongsuni… … . It is a level of rudeness that leaves nothing to be said even if attacked.
『… … .』
Kongsuni pauses for a moment and looks at me.
The racial difference is so great that it’s hard to tell what emotional state she is in right now. But my point has been sufficiently conveyed, right?
Rumbling- rumbling.
A cat-shaped shadow ‘pouring’ from the tree.
Kongsuni’s body seemed to be bubbling like an irregular mucus for a moment… … . With a gurgling sound, it inflated its body and came closer.
Ugh, it’s gotten to a size where I have to raise my head and look up. In addition, the shape of the body has changed to become much closer to a [humanoid] structure than before. Because I started walking upright.
But why do you have to take that form?
『Even that point is similar. After all, you might be able to do it. 』
Ahh! for a moment! I’m not sure what exactly you mean by ‘possible’, but whatever it is, don’t say ‘possible’!
You’re not even a carbon-based life form, let alone a mammal!
“first!”
“first?”
“I apologize for causing a fuss! “Are you saying that the others were surprised by the commotion I caused?”
I said that and pointed behind her.
Hundreds of eyes gathered around the mansion. Cats scurrying around in the dark.
“I will be very careful from now on. And- um, there’s a problem with my people, so how about we have a longer conversation later?”
『Hmm… … . Well, there are too many eyes to talk about right now. Like you said, I’ll call you later when I have some free time.』
Kongsuni, who said that, looked at me with a somewhat meaningful expression and then turned her head. And Kongsuni, who makes a low kyahak sound.
At the same time, the eyes that twinkled like stars in the dark disappear all at once.

[Yellow: Stroking the mask.]
Yes, you can do that. It appears that the dinner offering is currently away.
[Green: Dreaming from the depths.]
This is impossible because [Yellow] is already influencing the target.
[Green: Dreaming from the depths.]
The target cannot exert influence because it is currently registered as a member of the family of the dinner offering.
In order for the dinner offering to have influence on the target who is a member of the household, a believer, body part, or medium must approach the target and attempt a temptation check.
If the method of seduction does not match the target’s wishes, there is a penalty to the judgment. In order to confirm the target’s wishes, you must observe the target for a long time or pay resources.
[Green: Dreaming from the depths.]
It is not the household of the supper offering over whom yellow exerts its influence. Additionally, Yellow has previously paid resources to influence the target.
[Yellow: Stroking the mask.]
[Green: Dreaming from the depths.]
[Yellow: Stroking the mask.]
[Green: Dreaming from the depths.]
Sorry, but [Yellow] is right.
[Yellow: Stroking the mask.]
[Green: Dreaming from the depths.][Green: Dreaming from the depths.][Green: Dreaming from the depths.][Green: Dreaming from the depths.][Green: Dreaming from the depths.][Green: Dreaming from the depths.

Please calm down a little.

“I was a little worried, but it looks like you’re still able to communicate.”
I sighed and answered the fox with a leisurely attitude.
“no. “That’s because Kongsuni is a special case.”
Kongsuni’s mental strength stat is higher than mine. Moreover, they are a different race with high resistance to confusion and are high-ranking cultists.
If these conditions had not been met, confusion would have occurred. Besides, even that bean sprout might go crazy next time.
Everything in [Cthulhu World] operates based on probability, and the beings of the abyss can manipulate that probability at any time to harass me.
“It means that the fact that you followed my words so obediently in the first place was dangerous.”
You saw it! Kongsoni! He just obeyed what I said! I didn’t do anything, but an alien just seduced me?
Even though I explained the danger for a long time, the fox just leaned against the wall in a leisurely manner and grumbled.
“Aren’t other things more urgent than the love affair?”
“Something else? In [Cthulhu World], there is nothing more urgent than this! “Now people are randomly seducing me, and they’re going to love me and do that?”
Damn it, this isn’t even madness, I can’t pull it off. It is dangerous in this state. We have to find a way somehow.
“… … .”
Although you can’t see it because of the mask, the fox seems to have a disgusted expression.
“Well, I… … . But wow, what did our bodies do? W, you have to sleep to come here, right? “Where are you sleeping now?”
A question from a water buffalo who was watching the conversation between the fox and me.
“I asked the snake to take care of it for a moment.”
“Isn’t this crazy? Why would you stop giving your body to a child who, not long ago, would rather have your body taken away? Do you know what kind of bike this is?”
“She decided not to do that anymore, so don’t worry.”
“I believe it… … ?”
“I trust you more than you.”
“This guy-”
In fact, rather than trusting snakes, I trust the safety devices I have installed.
“It’s different now than then. “At least when it comes to snakes, you don’t have to worry about leadership issues.”
“Something… … . “It looks like we had a conversation without knowing, right?”
A crow speaking in a somewhat sad tone.
“Uhm, no, it’s not like that.”
I think it would be better to talk it out before it gets into more trouble.
“Haha, anyway, what the fox said is true. “I think we should also consider the issue of insanity.”
“No, I was talking about the bridge, not the madness! What are you going to do with your legs? “Why don’t you fix this quickly?”
Well, my legs are also a problem. This problem could have been solved more easily if my legs were still intact.
“Shinhwa, but this madness seems to have a slightly different pattern. “Are you okay?”
“Yeah, that’s right! Yes, with Sanghyeon! Tongue, say something harsh to Hyeondeok! Po, did violence come out like last time?”
“Uhm… … . No, this is [confusion – isolation].”
Like [Confusion – Violence], it is a virtual symptom that does not exist in reality in [Cthulhu World].
“Maybe there is mental illness as a motif, but this is more like delirium in a gaming context.”
“game… … . So what are the symptoms?”
[Confusion – Isolation: A precious object is no longer precious.]
That doesn’t mean you forget who that person is. They just feel like unfamiliar, unpleasant, and foreign objects.
