I Am the Only Totem in This World

Episode 203. Afterword (3)

Episode 203 Afterword (3)

Loa? Our monster pigeon spirit Tuntuni? It makes no sense.

… No. It’s not nonsense.

Teungi is a spirit creature that grew up eating various medicinal herbs. He evolved into a spirit through the magic of Paya, who became a spiritualist, and grew in strength as he went through various journeys.

Jinmalakdo, Rakando, Tuga, and other loas were originally spirit creatures. Even a strong person like them may have achieved something like godhood after continuously leveling up(?).

What is puzzling is the deity. To attain godhood, you would need faith. Has Tteun-gi ever been worshiped?

– Um.

It’s not that there isn’t anything to point out.

I don’t know if it’s a cult, but it’s very popular with children, especially girls. The number of girls who come and hold their parents’ hands tightly to see Tuntun is countless.

Should I say that they are almost as popular as BTS? Anyway, the best animal idol in the Tribal Federation was Tungun.

Jin Malak, a fellow animal(?), Also had to give up on her childish approval rating.

Rather than Jinmalak, who only appears during wars, Taeungi, who spends most of his time within the tribal alliance, is a perfect fit as a mascot.

I hate to admit it, but it also looks cuter.

‘Yes? Are you Malang? ‘I only see it as a totem.’

‘But Malak, it was scary when you appeared… ‘

‘I cried when I saw it.’

‘Use it with no fuss~!’

I can assure you that she has never been jealous. I’m not so naive as to say something with the eyes of children.

In any case, perhaps the children’s love and faith were replaced by something similar to Godhead and gave Teunteun strength. Since I don’t know what the exact standard for godhood is, I had no choice but to think that way.

Don’t you think you should at least leave behind a Loa guide!

“Oh, that’s what it was.”

“Surely… Because unwavering faith and respect become Loa’s strength. Has the pure affection of children become godhood?”

Would it have sounded plausible to Laquena Paya? After hearing my reasoning, the girls nodded their heads.

“…Then what should I do? Should we just watch it like this?”

– That would be a good idea.

“…”

Paya looks up at Tunteun with her sad eyes. She stroked her dog’s beak with her small hand.

“It would be nice if you stayed by my side instead of going far away… “Still, you should be happy, right? Because it’s a good thing.”

Did you hear Paya talking to herself?

Kwiik…

The turtle opened its beak as if answering. Then she closed her eyes tightly, and her body started shaking.

“Are you strong?”

A yellowish light spread out like a spider’s web and wrapped around Tuntun’s body

“Strong!”

Tuntuni has turned into a caterpillar inside a cocoon. Paya tapped the cocoon made of light, but there was no response.

Did he become a chrysalis to ascend to Loa? If so, it might be dangerous to touch it in this state.

– Priest Paya. Calm down. Teunteun has embarked on a journey to become a Loa.

“Ah… !”

The tears that had formed in Paya’s eyes flowed down her cheeks.

– …

I understand feeling sad. Because it was Paya who had been with Tunteun for a long time. But I also thought that it might be a good thing.

Now, in addition to Rakan, there is one more Loa who is on my side and on the side of humanity. He was a strong man who often gave fan service (mostly by crying) to the kids who followed him around, so he will be a reliable ally.

Just because you become a loa, you won’t suddenly become arrogant and act like a fighter.

Paya was calmed down and the area where Tunteun lay was isolated. It’s quarantine, but you can’t stop children from coming to see it.

***

A few days have passed since Tunteun entered the divine cocoon.

[Petite Noah: Please pray for Tuntun]

[Dairy cow bikini dance: “Tunteun, I will always think of you”… A moment of separation wet with tears and rain]

[Morning Tent Installation Technician: Strong!!! Are you going?!! (Roughly a meme of tears and runny nose)]

[Cho-seon in the corner of the room: Watching Dotun was healing ㅠㅠ]

[Maljukgeoriboksangsa: Should I make a totem too?]

[I trusted Mr. Monkey: Wouldn’t it be good to have more Loa allies? Why are the kids so sad?]

[Dinosaur Punch: I made a ‘Teonton Special Lunch Set’ to wish him well as he leaves for a better place. It’s a sturdy-looking bread.]

[Close-up spy: I will quit eating chicken for a month in honor of Teun-ni]

The community was buzzing as it had been a long time since something happened.

“Ugh~!”

“aa!!! Ahhh!!!”

“Turant… “Don’t go… ” !”

“Mom… Are you going to die?”

“You have to be healthy even when you go there, Tundan…” ” ” “

“No~!”

The reality was a little more turbulent than that.

The cries of children standing in front of the quarantine facility were echoing throughout the tribal federation.

“It’s a good thing! “If you cry, it’s denial, so stop!”

“Dunteun will become a Loa like Malak. Shouldn’t we be happy?”

“It’s a sergeant! Rather, we should hold a festival!”

Savage parents stopped their crying children.

Barbarians are closer to religious people who serve Loa. To them, Taeun-i’s ascension to heaven was something that deserved blessing.

However, as cultures and races mixed, the children’s curriculum(?) Also changed. It was revised to be a little more pro-civilization under the leadership of the saint and Rachel.

Because of this, the children were unable to truly rejoice in Taeun-yi’s ascension to heaven.

“If you don’t be quiet, I will sacrifice you to Charon the Apostate! He likes children’s meat!”

“Do you want to be a zombie?”

“aah!!!”

Before we knew it, Charon had become a ghost story itself, like the ghosts of Grandpa Mangtae and Grandma Hong Kong.

Among the barbarian parents, there were some who held up sticks to stop them (of course, they stopped them), but civilized parents tended to sympathize with their children’s sadness.

“Are you okay. You will definitely come down again. Like Malak.”

“When you cry, even a dog gets sad.”

Although the children were so comforted, they did not stop crying. Can’t help it. Because it’s too early to accept a breakup.

“No, it’s not like Teunteun is going to die.”

“Kids might cry a little bit, dude.”

Siwoo fed honey chestnuts to the grumbling monkey’s head. Even though the monkey said that, he came to see the quarantined Taeun-yi.

Although the word quarantine was used, it meant blocking people from getting closer than a certain distance, not blocking people from seeing it. Everyone can see Tunteuni becoming a cocoon.

“Mr. Sans.”

Lakhe, who was examining the situation, opened her mouth. It was a small voice that only I could hear.

“Huh?”

“Sanzu, are you sure you are Loa now?”

“That’s a difficult question.”

Although I inherited Jinmalak’s will and could even use totem abilities through the effect of the status window, if you ask me if I’m a loa, I’m not sure. I don’t know.

After Jinmalak’s death and disappearance, I was never able to use ‘Manifestation’ again. Can one be considered a loa even if there is no body to manifest?

“…If you are not a Loa, will Sanzu be reborn as a Loa through the same process as you?”

“Maybe?”

“…”

Lakhe seemed to dislike that possibility. Well, I don’t want to go back to the spirit world or whatever.

“…I wish Sanzu would still be here.”

“Huh?”

“By my side, always. … “Why not?”

“…”

She suddenly became embarrassed and turned her face.

I thought it was a proposal. It must be a word of respect and loyalty, right?

“…”

I checked out the community to freshen up the mood. Perhaps because of the rice cake, the speed at which posts are uploaded is very fast, so if you miss it even for a moment, it piles up.

[Lulu TV: Tell the kids to stop making a fuss

If I were to ask you to choose between pigeons, would you be able to choose?]

– Comments –

[Very Black Female Prisoner: Think and say, you crazy bastard. How can you not recognize that size?]

[Not Netcam: What is the template?]

[Ghoul: Aggro ㅅㅌㅊ haha]

[Shotgun Attack: An anti who pretends to be a fan who pretends to be an anti]

“What kind of template is this again?”

It’s sad that I can’t understand all the drips because everyone’s days of possession are different.

[3 to 500: You may frown on the noise of children crying

If you say, ‘He’s not dead, why are you so upset about something like that?’ Well… Aren’t there many things you can say in return?

Why are you so angry just because you lost once in a sport?

What kind of animation is that that even buys figures?

Why are you so upset just because one character died?

Are you crying as if a family member died just because one mutt died?

No matter who you are, once you start liking something, there are many things that cannot be explained as ‘that kind of thing’…

Anyway, you’re leaving far away. I might not see you again. Let me cry.]

“Oh.”

I also saw some pretty serious posts. It was time to explore a community full of all kinds of crap.

[Skynet: Sanz. Please reply when you check the message.]

A personal message arrived from an unexpected person.

Skynet? It’s been a while since this friend too. He is one of the few paladins who has not joined the Tribal Alliance.

[What’s going on?]

[Skynet: I heard that Sanz is Malak’s messenger. Is it true?]

[ㅇㅇ?]

[Skynet: I see. So, are you able to communicate with Malak?]

[ㅇㅇ]

[Skynet: I see.]

Why is this happening?

My curiosity turned to shock when I saw the following message posted by Skynet.

[Skynet: I am the administrator of the status window.]

“What… ?”
