I was Born in the Final Demon Realm of a Dark Fantasy

—————————————————

Tried defeating Grey Dawn’s final boss ‘Jeron’ yy

It’s been over a month since the game came out, but since no one has officially defeated the final boss yet, I used cheats to max out my stats and tried it.

According to the lore, he’s called Jeron, the last descendant of the giant race known as demigods.

If you follow the story, you’ll learn that this bastard Jeron is the only being who can kill a god.

Seeing that he has a god-slaying setting, I think there might be god-related content in future updates… but who knows when that’ll come out when no one has even defeated Jeron yet lol

Jeron can be found in [Red Land of Original Sin], a dungeon called the Ancient Evil among the 72 dungeons.

If you find the fortress deep inside, he’s sitting on the throne there.

You all already know what he looks like.

He has three heads, dark blue skin, and a muscular body. His eyes emit a faint white light, and his blood is also pure white yy

To get straight to the point, this bastard is extremely disgusting.

I tried facing him after maxing out all my stats, but there was no answer.

The most troublesome thing is his regeneration. Most attacks are restored to full HP in 3 seconds, fuck lol

Essentially, you can’t reduce his health through conventional methods, and he seems to be a boss that requires exploiting weaknesses.

To explain from the beginning, there seems to be a minimum requirement to enter the boss zone.

At first, I went with all growth stats at 80 but got rejected.

Couldn’t even enter the dungeon yy

It was ridiculous. 80 is the maximum growth stat limit for the human race.

Already at the level of the strongest in the human realm, yet can’t even enter with 80 lol

So I maxed them all to 100, and only then did he speak to me lol

At first, he spouts nonsense about not being qualified yet and not letting you in, but if you ignore that and enter, you can get in.

There must be other conditions, but I don’t know what they are.

The ridiculous thing is that even with cheats, you can’t raise growth stats above 100, so is this really a boss meant to be defeated?

Anyway, in my opinion, the [Hidden Bloodline] trait is a must-have.

Since it allows stat increases beyond the growth stat limit, it seems essential if you want to beat it without cheats.

—————————————————

On Day 4, I finally managed to close my eyes and survive, but I couldn’t fall into a deep sleep.

I kept my senses on high alert so I could react immediately if I heard any signs of presence.

I deliberately took a light nap and woke up, and fortunately, nothing happened throughout the night.

Feeling somewhat recovered, I decided to explore the cave. If no dangerous monsters lived here, it would be suitable as a base.

With eyes accustomed to darkness, I carefully walked deep into the cave.

After walking for a while, when I felt I had reached the end of the cave, I saw an irregular shape in the darkness.

It was a corpse. A monster’s corpse.

The smell of decay stung my nose, but I approached slowly without minding it.

‘Is it not a monster?’

Whether because it had been dead for a long time or not, the corpse was smaller than I expected.

It was only about the size of a bear from my past life.

That size would be considered dwarf-like in the forbidden zone.

Getting closer, it looked exactly like a bear. Except for its red fur.

‘Did it starve to death, unable to get out of here?’

There were no signs of struggle with other monsters.

Without a single wound, it seemed to have quietly breathed its last in this spot.

‘Given its size, I can understand why it couldn’t get out until it starved to death.’

Can a monster of this size even be born here in the first place?

As I examined the corpse from various angles, I soon discovered sharply elongated bone-like claws on the floor.

They looked like claws that had fallen off the corpse’s feet.

Strangely, there were no signs of decay. All ten sharp claws remained intact as if they were brand new.

I carefully picked up one of them.

It was extremely hard. After tapping it a few times with my finger, I tried to break it with force, but it didn’t budge at all.

When I placed my finger against the sharp edge, my flesh was cut too easily.

‘It’s incredibly sharp…’

The fact that it easily cut through skin that had completely changed after breaking through the fourth wall indicated it had a cutting power hard to find elsewhere. Especially outside the forbidden zone, where everything is resolved with fists.

It seemed the reason this bear monster had been able to survive here was because of these claws.

‘This could be useful against monsters?’

Well-utilized, it could be a far more efficient weapon than bare hands.

The problem was that I couldn’t wield it as is. I needed to create a handle for the claw.

Putting that issue aside for now, I settled down nearby.

After exploring the cave, I learned that no one was there.

What I needed now was rest and a plan to escape the forbidden zone.

The situation wasn’t very good.

Having lost my direction while fleeing from the eagle monsters, I couldn’t even tell where I was.

‘I should probably go in one direction first.’

I decided to use this cave as a base and explore the surroundings step by step.

After facing dozens of jaguars, maggots, and eagles, I thought I could handle them with some caution.

It was all thanks to my sixth sense.

I decided not to rush.

But at that time, I didn’t know I would spend a year in this place.

♦♦♦

I had thought I’d like to visit the forbidden zone to avenge my comrades, but I never expected it to actually happen.

Dreams come true.

It was realized with damn clarity.

I killed numerous monsters in the forbidden zone.

Jaguars now felt like pets, and when eagles attacked, I could grab their legs and throw them with all my might. Maggots were no different from roller coasters I rode when bored.

But there were things worse than these monsters scattered throughout this place.

A few months ago.

I thought I had adapted sufficiently to the environment here. I left the cave where I had stayed for several months and started walking in one direction.

And I realized how arrogantly mistaken I was to think I had adapted to this place.

Now I was running at full speed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Huge footsteps pounding the ground behind me. And with those sounds, a massive shadow leaping up.

It was a locust-like beast, but it was three times larger than a tiger.

Every time the locust jumped, the hard ground cracked. I didn’t even know that the ground could crack in the first place. It had remained intact no matter what I did before.

There was clearly an unimaginable power within their legs. I even questioned whether it was appropriate to call them locusts.

‘If only I could catch it, there would be no tastier food…’

I had already eaten it several times, and it was deliciously nutty.

The reason I was still running away was because the locusts traveled in groups.

I glanced back briefly.

Dozens of identical locust beasts were following me closely. They kept jumping up, and the ground shook each time they landed.

“Huff… huff…”

Already running at full speed for five hours.

I couldn’t find a suitable place to hide.

The truth was, my mind was complicated.

I had been running in one direction all this time. With the hope that there would be an exit.

But I was gradually getting the intuition that this path wasn’t leading to an exit.

The ground’s color was turning into a deeper red as I went further.

The number of monsters appearing also increased, and they were getting stronger.

‘Damn.’

It felt like I was running into a dead end. Perhaps my final moments in this forbidden zone were approaching.

But since I couldn’t stop now, I continued running forward.

And at some point, a strong sixth sense that penetrated my entire body surged.

It was enough to make me hesitate momentarily despite running desperately.

Belatedly, my mind registered the threat of being attacked by the locust swarm, but that too was a needless worry.

Looking back, the locust beasts that had been chasing me fiercely were retreating in panic as if they had hit an invisible barrier.

In the year I had faced many beasts, I had never seen such a reaction.

It looked like they were instinctively fleeing after detecting the presence of a stronger predator in a world of survival of the fittest.

‘…Is this fortunate for now?’

Whatever it was, it seemed I had avoided the worst-case scenario I had imagined.

The strange thing was that none of the other powerful beasts I had encountered frequently on the way here were visible.

‘Is there a reason my sixth sense is stimulated?’

I turned my gaze forward again.

To find out why my sixth sense was sending warnings with unprecedented intensity.

And in the distance. A dark silhouette caught my eye.

It was too far away to make out its shape clearly.

I brushed up my bangs that were stuck to my forehead to secure my vision. Before leaving the cave, I had roughly cut only my bangs because they were cumbersome, so my hair still flowed down past my waist.

‘…A fortress?’

It was a building. A building that wouldn’t seem out of place if built by humans.

‘Are people living there?’

But that didn’t make sense no matter how I thought about it.

This was still inside the forbidden zone, covered by the red curtain. It wasn’t an environment where humans could live.

The most rational explanation was that it was a building left by someone before this place became the forbidden zone.

My sixth sense still sent warnings, but my curiosity was undeniable.

Was this a trace of the kinsmen the king had spoken of? Or was it the powerful monster he said we couldn’t even imagine?

A few steps forward like that.

The surroundings were eerily quiet.

My sixth sense continued to warn. Not to go any further.

With each step I took, the warnings intensified crazily and became clearer.

I felt it distinctly.

If I went, I would die.

A certainty markedly different from the threats I had felt until now.

Having come to my senses, I decided to suppress my curiosity and turn back.

At that moment.

An unfamiliar voice penetrated my ear.

[You have not yet reached it. Regrettably, you are not yet qualified, so go back.]

The voice abruptly cut off after that one sentence.

Standing dazed, I blinked, thinking I had misheard. Was it an auditory hallucination?

However, strangely, from that moment, the warnings that had been stimulating my sixth sense disappeared.

Was the voice I just heard from the being that my sixth sense had detected?

Does this mean it spoke to me without even revealing itself?

Unresolved questions swirled in my mind.

Amid all this, one thing was certain: if I went further, there was a being I couldn’t handle with my current level. And it was highly likely that this being was the powerful entity that the warriors feared so much.

The being they said must never be provoked.

At the same time, one thought became clear in my mind.

‘Could I face it if I crossed the fifth wall?’
