Konoha's Mission Master

The life-saving reagent failed miserably, dying before it even began.

The last day of January in the 44th year of Konoha.

Strangely, the January update didn't refresh... Quarterly Feedback.

At midnight, Yakumo bathed, changed his clothes, and burned incense to calm his mind.

A few minutes later, the bedroom was filled with the invigorating scent of sandalwood. Yakumo stared intently at the semi-transparent game interface in front of him, intending to press the button to draw a dungeon when the game was not looking.

This is a esoteric lottery he researched in his previous life.

In the blink of an eye, Yakumo clicked the button to draw the dungeon!

On the semi-transparent interface, the golden roulette wheel began to slowly rotate. The pointer, crafted from amethyst, resembled a purple phantom running along the river of time. The marks of sword and axe cuts on the edges began to emit a golden light. The pointer spun faster and faster until Yakumo could no longer see the text on the wheel.

Yakumo clasped his hands together, praying for gold.

"I'd trade five years of being single for a golden legend!"

Green, blue, and purple, alternating in that order.

Until a golden light shone from the roulette wheel, that golden light gradually enveloped Yakumo's entire field of vision, and spread out in a misty haze until the entire bedroom was bathed in a golden glow, within which stood four large characters.

Yakumo could hardly believe his eyes.

The Golden Legend has appeared!

Don't be envious, I changed partners after being single for five years.

"Seriously, I can't be happy at all, I'm not kidding."

[Exploration-type Dungeon - Demon Slayer]

Dungeon Description: According to ancient legends, after the sun sets, evil spirits devour people, while demon hunters slay them to protect humanity. Players will embark on an exploration as demon hunters, clearing out evil spirits, exploring the world, and restoring light to it.

Is Demon Slayer an anime? Is it very popular?

Yakumo was somewhat puzzled, as he had never heard of anime before his transmigration.

Main Quest

Explore the world, measure the earth with your own two feet.

"In this instance world, the specific quest rewards will depend on the world's exploration progress, with the highest reward being a Dao Transformation Scroll."

[Entertainment Task]

"While Muzan Kibutsuji was severely injured, I told him..."

"Blue spider lilies bloom during the day."

Entertainment Mission Reward: 3000 Gold Coins.

This task is a bit strange, but you can get 3000 gold coins just by saying one sentence, which seems like a good deal.

In the explanation of this instance, Yakumo did not see any dangerous elements. It was as if he were on a special journey. When he got tired, he could say to return, and in the blink of an eye, he would wake up in his bedroom on his bed.

But he dared not make a decision easily. Every gift in fate comes with a price tag. If this dungeon was really as simple as it looked, then the reward would not be a Dao Transformation Scroll.

There are currently two dungeons available for Yakumo to choose from.

Lord of the Seas: Redemption of the King.

Exploration type: Demon Slayer.

Yakumo fell into deep thought.

It was late at night. Yakumo sat quietly on the edge of the bed, watching the swaying shadows of the trees in the distance, watching the howling wind change the shape of the tree canopy, and listening to the wind that sounded like the howling of demons.

With a click.

Yakumo opened the window, stretched his hand out, felt the strong wind blowing past, and experienced a moment of peace in his heart. He slowly made his decision.

With a click, the window closed tightly.

Yakumo removed his pajamas and methodically changed into his close-fitting ninja combat uniform. He then put on a dark coat over the uniform and neatly stuffed Hashirama cell extract and blood into his ninja tool pouch. He also placed a highly effective antidote and special ration pills in a hidden compartment.

Yakumo strapped the enormous storage scroll to his back.

The Glory Sword Case is carried on his back.

everything's ready.

At this moment, Yakumo had already made his choice.

[Exploration-type Dungeon - Demon Slayer]

"Enter the instance!"

Yakumo gave the order to the air.

The world was as still as a painting.

Yakumo's figure turned into blue light spots and disappeared.

The fiery red maple trees sway gracefully in the breeze, each leaf shaped like a perfect five-pointed star, as if created by God's divine hand. A stream meanders gently through the maple forest, and unknown insects glow with a blue fluorescence, illuminating the stream.

In the darkness, blue specks of light were scattered in the air.

On the grass beside the stream, a man and a woman lay. The woman had a beautiful figure and outstanding looks, dressed very lightly. The man next to her was also very handsome. The two probably planned to do something that everyone understood but was not easy to say openly, under the influence of alcohol.

Unfortunately, they are all dead.

Fresh blood, still warm, gushed from the wound. A burly man was kneeling in the pool of blood, devouring the still-warm entrails. His arms were covered with bulging veins, and the blood vessels around his eyes were also protruding. His hands, which were holding the entrails, had sharp nails, and his wide-open mouth was full of triangular teeth.

"What I hate most is being disturbed while I'm eating!"

The burly, strong man raised his head and stared fiercely at the shadow in the moonlight.

"Same here. Seeing this scene also affected my mood."

Yakumo landed in the fiery maple forest, feeling the gentle breeze and the veil of moonlight. He was in a great mood, but then he suddenly smelled blood and rushed over to see this scene.

"Drink!"

The man-eating demon suddenly lunged forward like a drawn blade, its blood-soaked claws aimed straight for Yakumo's face. Yakumo frowned slightly; the stench of blood and decay emanating from the demon completely ruined his good mood upon landing.

The demon slid out of its scabbard, only to be caught by Yakumo's hand...

Yakumo took two steps forward, and the power that had been dormant within him surged forth.

In an instant, the two passed each other, and the demon's head was severed.

It landed on the ground and rolled in another direction.

However, the demon's body remained standing and turned to pounce on Yakumo.

"Hahaha, I am immortal!"

A look of curiosity crossed Yakumo's face as he twirled his sword, Fuma.

One cut, two cuts, three cuts, four cuts.

The demon was completely dismembered, but the dismembered limbs still tried to reassemble.

"Useless! I am immortal!"

Yakumo swung his sword again and continued to dismember the body until the head was completely divided into ten parts. At the same moment, the limbs and organs stopped wriggling completely. To Yakumo's astonishment, the entire body gradually turned into ashes and slowly dissipated until it completely disappeared from sight.

Yakumo put the Demon-Subduing Sword back into its sheath, then crouched down to collect the blood left by the enemy. The man-eating demon he had just encountered was weak, but its difficulty in killing him piqued his curiosity.

After barely managing to extract half a vial of demon blood using the Fine-Draining Technique, Yakumo stood up, looked at the two mutilated corpses, and gently shook his head. Love should be like this... unwavering until death.

But then Yakumo's expression turned rather unpleasant.

The massive amount of chakra within him was dissipating in a bizarre way.

Thirty minutes later, Yakumo's face turned somewhat ashen.

[Congratulations, player: You have encountered a dungeon bug.]

[Ding-dong, the player has lost all their energy.]

[Ding-dong, player has lost death immunity.]

"Is this something to celebrate? If you want me dead... just say so!"

The game system completely ignored Yakumo's complaints, and game prompts flashed by one after another.

[Compensation: This mission has been changed from an exploration mission to a conquest mission; clear out the ogres. Players will receive Conquest Points for each ogre killed. After completing all missions, Conquest Points can be used to exchange for massive resources, including Taoist Scrolls, attribute points, and special items!]

[Note: The conquest missions will be completed after the Twelve Demon Months, following the death of Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji. Existing recreational missions will remain!]

May the sun's fire wash away your sins. Enjoy the game!

Yakumo looked up at the full moon in the sky and began to calm his turbulent emotions. The game system's prompts in his mind gradually faded away, and he understood... the trick of the golden dungeon: first, use seemingly easy task introductions to lure players into the game, and then... directly turn into hellish difficulty.

At this moment, Yakumo's feelings were incredibly complex.

The sounds of flowing streams, chirping insects, and the ever-present wind combined to create a somewhat pleasant melody in Yakumo's ears.

Yakumo's emotions gradually became excited, and his blood began to boil. This was a game where life was the stake, and he could gain a massive boost after clearing it. As a seasoned game enthusiast, how could he refuse this gift?

Even a god can kill a boss as long as it has a health bar!

Swish.

With a burst of energy from his feet, Yakumo sensed the aura of the battle points. Fortunately, the perception ability carried by the Eternal Sleep Mist had already been integrated into his soul, allowing him to use it freely even without chakra.

Under the cover of a thin mist, Yakumo swiftly slaughtered the demons, collecting their blood in the process. He soon discovered that these demons could not be exposed to sunlight; they were more like humans who had failed to evolve. Seizing on this weakness, Yakumo slaughtered the demons even faster during the day.

In just... half a month.

Yakumo's conquest points are as high as 48524.

The two quickly noticed Yakumo's efforts.

First, there is the Demon Slayer Corps leader, Ubuyashiki Kagaya.

Secondly, there is the Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji.

Of course, the Demon Slayer Corps wanted to recruit this powerful lone swordsman, while Muzan Kibutsuji intended to kill Yakumo.

In the town filled with osmanthus trees and the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms, Yakumo continued to happily rack up points.

Little did they know that danger was quietly approaching.

The night breeze was very gentle.
