Chapter 378: 123: Jack’s New Plan! Ballsy Or Dumb?

A man nonchalantly walked out of the inferno in Burning Leaf forest. At this moment, Jack truly seemed to deserve his new title of Mad Pyromaniac.

[Temporarily Assigned Field Boss Status!]

[Elimination Missions Will Be Issued!]

[Current Objective: Survive!]

[Remaining Time: 33 hours!]

So that's how it was? He coincidentally had to survive until Igor could bring him away. He felt like a mobster about to go into witness protection. He gave a small grin as he glanced at the sea of fire around him.

As long as this kept burning, would his enemies even dare enter? They didn't have an OP Burning Man passive. They'd have to be chugging potions just to walk nearby.

"Woo?" (What now?)

"We've done every fucking dungeon in this place, and we're ready to leave anytime. BUT, can a man known as the Demon King just silently leave?"

"Woo!" (Of course not!)

"So here's what we'll do…." Jack grinned mischievously.

━━━━━━ POV ━━━━━━━

Back at the village, some players were cheering while others were utterly livid.

They all knew what had happened to the last anti-Demon King expedition. It had been one colossal wipe! Hell, some of them were still trembling even now as they recalled the raging flames.

So many had hurriedly accepted the new Event Quest and were now regretting it.

[Hunt: Mad Pyromaniac Level 12 ???]

[Time Remaining: 33 hours]

It was one thing to face a level 12 boss as a community. But as soon as they learned that this was Jack'O, they all lost their shit!

"Why the fuck did I accept so damn fast?!"

"We're doomed! So fucking doomed!"

"Should I log off for 33 hours?"

"Would a tribute work?"

Others on the side were snickering.

"You guys missed on free rewards."

"Tsk— tsk— they're suffering from their own greed."

They all talked casually, of them worried.


Every time they thought he'd be in trouble, Jack'O would pull another OP ability out of his ass! At this point, they already associated him with invincibility— not knowing how many times he had died.

"Still, do you guys remember the village chief's face? It was priceless!"

"Yep, he schemed so much, and it was all pointless, dumbass!"

That's when a man suddenly ran into the crowd, shouting:

"Guys! Guys! You won't believe this! Holy fuck!" He looked as excited as a kid visiting Sixty Flags for the first time. "There's going to be a party!"

The bystanders gave him dubious looks.

"A party for what? Do you mean a raid?"

"I'm in a party right now. It's nothing special."

The man shook his head:

"Not that kind of party! A real party with dance, bonfires, alcohol, and chicken fights! The Demon King's organizing it! The whole village is invited too!" He gleefully explained.

Wait, what?!

They couldn't help but stare blankly for a second. There was a bounty on Jack'O's head, and he was fucking organizing a party?! What kind of insane— epic— idea was that?!

"Are you guys in or what?!"

"Of course! Do you really need to ask?!"

"Party! Party! Party! This is gonna be so awesome!"

As more and more players learned about it, they all resolved to be there. Heck, there were so many talking about it that the system even picked up on it.

[Kill —> Assassinate the Mad Pyromaniac!]

[Good luck with your mission!]

It was very easy to know who had that mission: this was because they were all loudly cursing:

"Fuck you game! I might as well throw myself in a bonfire already!"

"Assassinate? Did I launch Assassin's Greed by mistake?!"

"Crashing a party? Hell no, I have standards!"

"Standards or fear?"

"Fucking Both!"

Either way, this was bound to be an unforgettable night…

━━━━━━ POV ━━━━━━━

News about the party exploded on social media.

#Party of a Lifetime #Hype #Booze #Secret Cluck-Cluck Fight Club #Be There or Forever Regret #Demon King #Infinite

The whole of New Leaf was welcomed, and they made a shitload of noise given their numbers. They invited their friends, their family. Some even tried to make their dog wear a VR headset!

The community aspect of it drew every one of them. They happily confirmed their attendance on the official D.L. thread about it:

[ Official D.L. Party Invite! ]

*Attachments: PartyDetails.PP*

– Verified CPR Dude: Make sure to attend as the Demon King himself will be hosting. No dress code. The only rule is to be chill since it will be hella hot! ??

– PineapplesNotExpress: Verified CPR Dude? Do they expect people to faint at this party or something?

– Mighty40yoWiz: Bro, the guy is a New Leaf legend. He tried to do mouth-to-mouth with the training instructor. It was hilarious!

– IPotato: Count me fucking in! You had me at chicken fights! Where's the party? I'll need the address.

– DBender: What do you mean address?! This is in the game Infinite, New Leaf village….

– IPotato: Oh….

– GGGPaladin: Tch— You guys are wasting so much time. Shouldn't you be grinding instead? Not to brag, but our guild leader is already level 7. He would never waste time on something so silly.

– CookingMethForBreakfast: Pfft— Is this guy looking down on the Demon King?! What an idiot! XD

– AllMeatMatters23: Oh my Gawd! Level 7?! Is this even possible?! Someone pinch me with pliers!— That's what I'd write if I were impressed…

– IPotato: Why can't I find Infinite on the online store?….

– HalfFrogHalfDoom: Guys, don't make fun of him. It's not his fault that he's dumb. Also, don't tell him that our leader is already level 12. It might crush his pride too much.

– IPotato: Gotta buy a headset, it seems…

– GGGPaladin: Level 12? Bullshit! Fucking New Leaf peeps and their lies. They can't take anything seriously!

– CookingMethForBreakfast: @GGGPaladin Baka!

– AllMeatMatters23: @GGGPaladin Baka!

– HalfFrogHalfDoom: @GGGPaladin Baka!

There were plenty of replies after that. Most were calling that one paladin guy an idiot, some actually talked about the party, then there was that one potato guy very slowly figuring out how to buy the game. (Happy ending: he did figure it out)

But while the masses only saw a fun/useless party, others realized the implications:

1. It took a lot of gold to invite an entire village for drinks

2. Was he trying to raise the loyalty of the entire village to make an army?

3. The timing was strange. Why wasn't he farming dungeons? Everyone else was!

Was he already done with dungeons?! Was that even humanly possible?

Little did they know that Jack had already sent some new footage of his dungeon clears to that one Pancakes streamer guy…

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

[A/N] Thoughts on this chap? Part of me is like: I gotta show how people react to Jack's new endeavor. But it does make the story longer… xD

Oh yeah, epic party incoming.. If you guys have crazy ideas for it I'm taking suggestions. (In the next few hours only haha) ^_^v
