***

All the participants who checked the mission for Round 2 were surprised.

Whats this? Selecting a district representative?

I thought we were going to hunt some monsters again

So, were not fighting?

There were other things that were a bit odd.

Wait, why is the number of achievers like this?

This time, the achievers status was at 100% when it should have been at half.

Does that mean everyone can survive this time?

Many parts of the quest message left them confused.

Someone needed to explain.

[Hehehe, it seems like my explanation is needed seeing everyones confusion.]

As if to volunteer, the angel spoke with a proud tone.

[As you can see, this round is not about fighting. You just need to select a district representative.]

District representative?

[As the name suggests, it means the representative of that district. They have basic authority to command others and have significant power to force other humans to do their bidding.]

He has authority to command others??

Wow, thats powerful.

They could tell from the angels explanation how significant the district representatives power was.

In three hours, a voting right will be generated for all of you. You just need to select one person as the district representative. Thats all.

Suddenly a brave young man raised his hand and asked, Is that really it? Is there nothing else?

[Yes. If you vote, you will be counted as an achiever and can return home. This is like a rest round. Thats why the achievers are at 100%.]

In short, the goal of this round was to choose the king of each district.

Just voting is enough to pass?

Its a piece of cake!

Most players were relieved that the quest was easier than they thought.

However, some were suspicious and unable to shake their anxiety.

Hwang Yongmin and his friends were among them.

Somethings not right. They said they said that only half of us can pass each round, but now theyre giving everyone such an easy pass?

The angel said its a rest round.

Even if thats true, its still weird. We came prepared for a tough battle, but all we have to do is vote. Tsk.

Yongmin, just go along with it. They said well survive if we vote. Whats the problem?

Im frustrated because Ive been putting in all my effort, but I havent been able to use it properly. Tsk.

Ryu Min overheard their conversation nearby and lifted the corner of his mouth.

You want to use it properly, huh?! It seems he was rewarded with the Rune of Strength again

Ryu Min, who knows all the information about most rounds through repeated regression, would definitely know Hwang Yongmins Rune.

The current situation was the same as the previous regressions.

Now for the next three hours, theyll discuss who to vote for.

The angel had already explained that the district representative would be given the authority to command others.

This is the powerful ability that can make humans in his area do anything.

If he commands them to kneel, they will kneel. If he orders them to die, they will die.

If he asks for an item, they will give it to him without hesitation. If he needs someone to be a bait for monsters, they will volunteer themselves.

And they cannot refuse because the system forces them to comply.

Its a position that wields immense power, akin to that of a king.

Everyone would want to be in that position.

Of course, they discuss who should be chosen to represent us.

And at the center of that discussion, Black Scythes name will rise and fall.

It was no surprise that people looked at him differently.

The atmosphere seems to suggest that they want to nominate me as their representative.

If they have to choose a representative, its only fitting that they would choose the strongest.

It was only natural that he, who had been ranked first in the previous round, would be noticed.

However, Ryu Min had no interest in becoming a representative.

The position of area representative was like a poisoned chalice.

I wouldnt want to become a representative just because of the authority it entails. It would only lead to various losses.

There was something that the angel did not tell him about the power of authority.

The power of authority does not apply to those who have a job.

Once he reaches level 10 and changes his profession, he can escape the power of authority.

In the end, its only half-baked power.

Furthermore, starting from the third round, the representative will bear all the responsibility because of their position.

Knowing this, Ryu Min had no intention of becoming a representative.

It was a burdensome and dangerous position, after all.

Of course, others can still nominate and vote for me as a candidate without my consent

Ryu Min wasnt worried, though.

After regressing dozens of times, he knew he wouldnt become the representative.

For now, selecting a representative is not the most important thing. The sub-quests are more important.

If one were perceptive, he would notice something odd in the quest message.

The word main was added in front of the quest.

The fact that there is a main quest means there are also sub-quests this round.

In other words, there is another quest in this round besides voting.

Getting a job is the sub-quest and the hidden quest of this round.

Anyone can have a job once they reach level 10, as long as they have the appropriate item.

Fortunately, I already obtained the death angels job item in the previous round.

Therefore, Ryu Min had nothing to worry about.

He just had to reach level 10.

I dont have time to discuss with them for three hours. Ill hunt and level up to 10, then change my job.

That way, he could escape the power of the area representative.

Ryu Mins gaze turned to a message that appeared in a corner.

[2nd Round Limited Experience 3x Buff is now in effect.]

[It will be automatically removed at the end of the 2nd round.]

Luckily, he had that bonus from the first round, the 3x experience buff, so it wouldnt take long.

Ryu Min glanced around and left the area.

Crackle, crackle.

As people continued to debate, Ryu Min walked through the field and towards the nearby forest.

He had no interest in the area representative or participating in the discussion.

I dont care who becomes the representative.
