BXBX NOVEL Chapter 3: Chapter 3: You Are Not Worthy
This starting point was indeed much, much more difficult than in the game.
It seemed that his choice of[Very Easy]for the "protagonist\'s" background in the survey questionnaire wasn\'t in vain!

This game really did listen to the players\' feedback!
Sigh I need to calm down.
Reji had read many transmigration novels, such as "Fallen Chronicles", where the protagonist also entered the second playthrough of the game.
There is no need to panic.
First, I need to check the game panel!
I must have inherited the invincible attributes of the Protagonist that I had obtained by crazily farming who knows how many demons to clear the final fight solo!
Reji frantically called out to the system in his heart.
Good news, the familiar personal panel information was indeed summoned.
Bad news...

Reji: "..."
A*ssholes, are you F*ing Keding me!?
After a moment of cursing in his heart, Reji\'s worst premonition still came true.
After all, in the survey questionnaire back then, he had also chosen the[Very Easy]option for the protagonist\'s talent.

Calm down! It\'s at times like this that you must stay calm!
Reji recalled a novel he had read calledDusk Chronicles. The protagonist in it was also very trashy at the beginning, but that didn\'t stop him from becoming a legend later on.

As long as he was given some time to develop, returning to the peak wouldn\'t be a problem!
So Why didn\'t my race change!?
Why am I still human?
If Reji was given a "Demon" race now, he wouldn\'t be so panicked.
Just as Reji was frantically thinking about the current situation, the four Demon leaders opposite him were also a bit stuck, frantically thinking.
After all, Reji\'s current appearance was quite different from what they had imagined the Demon King to be.
Demons generally judged an individual\'s strength based on two aspects: physique and characteristics.
For example, Great Demon Hektor was several meters tall, with terrifying, ferocious muscles bulging all over his body, and a pair of huge, sinister claws.
Another example, the Sword Demon Pierre, although small in stature, had his limbs completely specialized into blades, able to easily take an enemy\'s life with any casual movement.
Another example, the succubus demon Eileen at least had antelope horns, succubus wings, and a seductive tail.
Another example, Wisdom Demon Leo was covered in snake scales, had a cold snake gaze that made people shudder at first glance, and occasionally flicked out his tongue to capture information from the outside world.
And these characteristics of demons, they couldn\'t see a single one on Reji\'s body!
That\'s why they had the subconscious thought earlier.
A human figure.
What appeared on the altar was a "human" figure.
But these four were basically traditional Demon King supporters, so even if they were filled with confusion and perplexity towards Reji, they still knelt on one knee and pledged their allegiance.
Before Reji indicated or spoke, they didn\'t dare to take any action.
Unfortunately.
This brief balance was quickly broken.
Because the other five Demon leaders who didn\'t come to participate in the summoning ceremony had now rushed over.
The commotion at the altar was so great that it even caused the entire Chaos Rift to tremble. The anomaly of the dark light pillar rising to the sky could be seen from anywhere.
The stronger the anomaly, the more powerful the Demon King.
This was a universally acknowledged fact in the Demon Race\'s heritage.
Therefore, regardless of whether they had urgent matters and tasks at hand, or had not intended to participate in the ceremony, the five Demon Apostles immediately dropped whatever they were doing and had to rush over to check as quickly as possible.
Just like that.
Five more old friend bosses that Reji had solo farmed before appeared in front of him.
Shadow Demon Apostle Shermen, wearing a cloak that shrouded her entire body in its shadows with a mysterious and indiscernible expression.
Sorcery Demon Apostle Dian, wearing a crow mask, only the lower half of his face exposed.
Decay Demon Apostle Eris, a butcher-like fat monster, with maggots crawling all over the rotting flesh on her body.
Breeding Demon Apostle Ulala, a giant octopus with endless regenerating tentacles.
And finally...
Wicked Demon Apostle Lordan, his entire body wrapped in bandages, only his eyes exposed, like a mummy, now examining Reji with a curious gaze, as if he had discovered an interesting plaything.
The first to break the silence was none other than Lordan.
"So, this is the Demon King you summoned, a... human? Oh, sorry, I should say a Demon King who currently appears to have highly overlapping characteristics with humans?"
The Wicked Demon made a sharp, sarcastic sound.
Eileen immediately frowned. She had wanted to confront Lordan for a long time, and now she exploded, immediately standing up and angrily rebuking the Wicked Demon.
"Lordan! Is this your attitude in front of the Demon King? Kneel down!"
"Heh!? Kneel?"
The Wicked Demon chuckled.
The bandages covering his face wrinkled with it.
He withdrew his cloudy eyes from Reji, as if he had finished appraising something, and instead used a mocking tone to sarcastically say to Eileen, "Eileen, I\'m very sorry that your Succubus clan only has you left.
After all, if there were other Succubi, they definitely wouldn\'t let a fool like you continue to be the leader. Open your eyes and take a good look."
"What you summoned is not a Demon King at all, but a human, and..."
Lordan shifted his gaze back to Reji at the center of the altar.
"And a very weak human at that," the Wicked Demon added.
Finally, Lordan\'s arrogant and mocking words finally made Great Demon Hektor, who was standing to the side, unable to watch any longer.
"Lordan, you can choose not to follow the Demon King, but if you continue to disrespect the Demon King like this, I have the right to expel you according to the rules!"
Hektor took a step forward, his sturdy physique as a Great Demon coming in front of Lordan. In comparison, Lordan, as a Wicked Demon, was like a small child.
"Heh... No wonder our Demon Race has fallen to such a state. It seems there\'s more than one blind fool."
Although Lordan still had to retort a couple of sentences, he didn\'t dare say much more about Reji due to Hektor\'s powerful presence.
After all, among the Nine Apostles, the Great Demon and Sword Demon were undoubtedly the strongest in combat power.
The Wicked Demon could only turn his gaze towards Wisdom Demon Leo\'s position.
"Leo, as a Wisdom Demon, don\'t tell me you\'re also going to be like these fools and pledge allegiance to a human, to such a Demon King?"
Leo was silent at first.
Then he spoke, "As the initiator, I can sense that the ceremony was successful, and perfectly successful at that. Lordan, you all must have seen the anomalies in the space just now, which is why you rushed over, right?"
What Leo said was indeed the truth.
Lordan searched his head. He had also been startled at the time, thinking of countless excuses in his mind, ready to kneel and beg for forgiveness in front of the Demon King. But when he actually arrived and saw such a Demon King, he regained his spirit.
Seeing that he couldn\'t convince the other apostles, and even the Wisdom Demon was still so stubborn, Lordan also became a bit angry.
"Haven\'t you all realized yet? Your so-called Demon King, has he said a single word so far? Has he ever shown you any power?"
"Fine! Since you all want to be blind and turn a blind eye to the fact that the summoning failed, wanting to continue deceiving yourselves, then I, Lordan, will wake you up!"
In fact, proving that the Demon King on the altar was not a Demon King, but just an ordinary human, was very simple.
Lordan stepped forward with his bandage-wrapped body, walking step by step towards Reji.
He only stopped when he was about ten meters away.
"Oh great Demon King, I, Lordan, am very honored to be able to see your face. I wonder if you could also satisfy a small request from me, a humble Wicked Demon?"
"I hope to have a duel with you. Of course, I have no intention of provoking you. I just want to let the many demon compatriots who have high expectations of you witness your mighty power. Oh!
Rest assured, I understand that you have just been summoned and are not yet used to this place, so I\'ll lower the conditions a bit."
"You don\'t need to defeat me. If you can withstand my five attacks... no, three, as long as you can withstand three of my attacks, then I, Lordan, will immediately offer my allegiance to you!"
"So, may I ask our respected king, do you... dare?"
Wicked Demons, also known as Fear Demons.
This demon clan was skilled in launching mental attacks, and able to inflict various negative statuses on enemies, such as fear, confusion, betrayal, and so on, which were all the Wicked Demons\' specialties.
Reji clearly remembered that in the game\'s plot, Wicked Demon Lordan had once single-handedly caused who knows how many human fortresses that were originally easy to defend but difficult to attack to self-destruct, with the guards inside abandoning the city and fleeing, even voluntarily opening the city gates and surrendering.
This led to the Demon Race being able to easily march straight in, and countless civilians inside the city instantly became demon slaves.
Now, Lordan was also using his ability in his speech, activating his fear aura.
According to the Wicked Demon\'s mental script, the next Reji, this weak human who was wrongly summoned by the ceremony, would soon kneel and beg for mercy in front of him, showing a completely ugly state.
However, Lordan wouldn\'t have thought that although Reji was indeed a human, a weak human, he was also a weak human who had once "solo-farmed" them.
The fear aura completely acted on the mind.
It could infinitely amplify inner fear.
Ordinary humans would definitely be afraid just by seeing Lordan now, wrapped in bandages, with a sinister gaze, and hearing the Wicked Demon\'s name.
As long as they felt scared and timid, it would be exactly what Lordan wanted, and the Wicked Demon would infinitely amplify it.
Reji, who had studied these few demon bosses countless times in order to achieve the solo clear achievement, was all too familiar with the little trick Lordan was using now, the fear aura imposed on him.
As for the countermeasure, it was also very simple.
The low-level method was calledcourage, which was also a common strategy used by the allied forces later in the game.
