Chapter 57
Dohyuk had a valid reason . It was a method to fight a dangerous enemy, and the fight itself was a very close one . He didn't have time to get dressed .
-PERVERT! PERVERT!
But it didn't seem like logic was working withf the Goddess of Fire .
"W-Wait a minute…"
Dohyuk tried to fight back and turned towards the Goddess of Fire and people who were looking at him dumbfoundedly .
-IT'S DANGLING!!!
>

The flame erupted again, but it wasn't his entire body that was covered this time . It only covered the 'dangling' part . However, it looked even weirder as it was still shaped exactly like it .
-IT LOOKS WORSE!!! AHHHHH!
'Why are you crying?'
"Be quiet…" Dohyuk mumbled, " . . and don't eat anything . "
And silence fell .
Dohyuk turned towards the people . An older woman came over to hand him a blanket .
"Uh, if it's okay…"
There was obvious fear in her eyes, but also a hint of sympathy . Dohyuk received the blanket .
"Thank you . "
However, it had a good effect . People who couldn't even make a single sound were now quietly talking among themselves .
"T-they are running!"
Someone shouted and Dohyuk in that direction . There was a group of people running toward the city gates . They were Changkun's overseers .
'I can't catch all of them . '
Dohyuk then checked the one closest to where he was and jumped .
The place he stepped on next wasn't the ground . It was a wall or a signpost of the sort . The fight he just had over the rooftops freed him from his own limitations, or the perception of movement . He had the thought that it was a must to walk on land .
"HEEEK!"
He quickly caught up to the target and the man fell back in shock . Dohyuk immediately kicked his arms and legs .
Then he saw an O-shaped burn mark on the back of the man's neck .
…
The meaning was simple . Those who were considered useful were given a burn mark in the shape of a circle .
One Circle

The mark proved that the person was a member of the Circle . But it was the lowest rank in the group and they had only one job . They needed to oversee slaves and perform the manual labor that was too difficult for the slaves . But, if they somehow, were able to prove themselves to be more useful, they would be given another circle outside the original one .
Two Circle
Members with two circles were now considered fighters . Depending on how much work a two circle had done, they could even own one or two slaves . However, it got harder to rise up from there .
When a person had become powerful enough to fight against multiple people, that was when they were given the third and fourth circle .
"Y-you are given a region to own starting from the Three Circle… Four Circles differ in the number of regions they own and their strength…"
It was a good bit of information considering the fact that it had been collected in two minutes .
"And beginning from the top, the Five Circle…"
"Was his name Kang Changkun? The Three Circle that owned this place?"
"H-huh? Y-yes!"
"Was he always that strong?"
"Huh?"
"Was he strong even before the world changed again a few days ago?"
"O-Oh…"
The man, or the One Circle, shook his head .

"N-no… W-well, he did have three circles then though…"
However, it was only two days ago when he had earned the power . He had served God Grava and claimed a tremendous amount of coins by accomplishing the 'missions' that the god gave him . It was the result of power inflation .
In just two days, in the time that Dohyuk had taken to drift south on his island, inflation was driving the world at a rapid pace .
"Hey . "
Dohyuk spoke towards the sky, "Why are you quiet all of a sudden? Where's my 'payment'?"
It was Aruga who told Dohyuk to come to his city so that he could give him the Godly Item . But Aruga wasn't responding .
"HEY!!!"
-W-wait up! It's not only you who keeps talking to me .
"What?"
-You… How did you get hold of that? How'd you get those flames that burned that Grava follower?
Changkun's Nature was buffed by Grava's . It didn't mean that he wouldn't die, but the flame from Dohyuk easily overcame the power of regeneration . It was an impossible power unless it was divine . Besides, Aruga saw it clearly .
-And the shape that popped up… that's…
It was a god he knew .
-anyway, Grava is asking me to turn you over . He thinks some god has broken the 'rule' and helped you . You made a ruckus in my city, so he's telling me I have the right to arrest you…"
"Bullsh*t . "
Dohyuk frowned . He was now used to this damned system .

"There should have been a message if there was any problem with what I did . "
"And how do you want me to understand you saying all that bullsh*t when you clearly know that's not the case? Huh? Is the deal over? If you're scared by that Gravy or something, I don't care . I'll just run rampant and leave . "
-I'M NOT SCARED!!
Aruga shouted angrily .
-I… I'm just telling you what he's asking me . I'm not going to do that, of course . But…
"But?"
-It's surrounded . The city .
At that moment, a video reflected off the water popped up in front of him . It was as Aruga said . From the forest that covered the city, there were countless of monsters . With the face of a bear and arms and legs of a monkey, its hide was covered in moss-like green . Even the smallest monster was 5 meters .
[Moss Sloth]
Grava had created these monsters to roam the forest . From Changkun's final request, they had been awakened from their slumber .
-They are all waiting .
They were all waiting for Dohyuk to come out .
-Here's a reminder: I have pride as a god . Even if you and I have unfinished business… this isn't the right way .
But even if Aruga did not kick Dohyuk out, he would have had to leave the city soon or later . And he would have to fight the monsters .
Gods did not interfere with another god's region . That's why Grava, even if Aruga was a weak god, did not send his monsters into the city .
-I wish I could help, but this…
