Chapter 113 – 113. God’S Atlantis
113. God’s Atlantis
「The King of the Sky Tower proposes a formal contract with you.」
「The Lord of the Heavens proposes a formal contract with you.」
「The Golden Collector can only sigh in vain.」
「The Clock Tower Killer, unable to withstand the pressure, has fled.」
‘…They want a formal contract already?!’
I stared wide-eyed at the notification window, checking it again. I hadn’t misread it. The King of the Sky Tower and the Lord of the Heavens were proposing a formal contract to me, who had only just cleared the tutorial.
If they were low-ranking deities, I might have taken it in stride.
But the Lord of the Heavens is different. The Lord of the Heavens is among the highest ranks in Atlantis. And the King of the Sky Tower seems to be a high-ranking deity who doesn’t have to be mindful of the Lord of the Heavens.
‘It’s certain they’re lower in rank than the Golden Collector….’
The Clock Tower Killer, Jack the Ripper, had good reason to flee. If he got caught in the middle and incurred the Lord of the Heavens’ wrath, it would be a huge problem.
‘So, there are three deities watching me right now.’
I scratched the back of my head. This was good luck for me. Especially the Lord of the Heavens wanting a formal contract; it was luckier than winning the lottery.
‘…Hmm.’
First of all, a formal contract with a deity is unconditionally beneficial. If the opportunity arises, it’s right to make a contract. Because you can gain special skills or traits by contracting with a deity. Also, most deities who make contracts provide consistent support, allowing you to grow stronger quickly in Atlantis.
Since the contract is made through the Atlantis system, it’s not unfair at all. Exiles can gain power, and deities can gain divine power and AP as the contracted exile becomes more active and influential in Atlantis. Think of it as an investment.
However, unlike deities who can contract with multiple individuals, exiles can only contract with one deity, so they must choose carefully.
‘The King of the Sky Tower must be crazy. The one to choose here is the Lord of the Heavens.’
In Atlantis, there are countless exiles who haven’t been able to contract with a deity. It’s right to contract with the Lord of the Heavens here. It’s right, but….
‘The Lord of the Heavens. This guy’s true name is Zeus.’
The supreme god of Olympus. If you only consider the power he possesses, he’s among the top 10 gods in Atlantis.
‘The problem is, he’s a nutjob, though not as much as the King of the Sky Tower….’
As you can see from the mission he gave me to defile Seo-hyun a while ago. The Lord of the Heavens is quite the pervert.
‘I don’t want to be controlled by a deity… Should I just not contract?’
「The King of the Sky Tower urges you to make a choice.」
「The Lord of the Heavens urges you to make a choice.」
“A formal contract… doesn’t that mean I can only choose one of you? Since I don’t know anything about either of you, I don’t know what to choose.”
I shouldn’t be blinded by the power of the deities and think calmly.
The fact that they proposed a formal contract right after the tutorial means I’m worth that much to them. In other words, I have the potential to contract with other deities in Atlantis. I’m a product with outstanding value, and they are the buyers. They’re the ones who are desperate, not me. The initiative is on my side.
「The King of the Sky Tower sponsors 10,000 AP.
“If you contract with me, I’ll give you solid support. I’m on a different level than those petty deities.”」
It was a husky woman’s voice. Sponsoring 10,000 AP was to make a good impression on me.
The King of the Sky Tower is certainly generous. She’s also crazy, though.
“……I still don’t know what you are. Someone like you shouldn’t need me.”
「The King of the Sky Tower sponsors 10,000 AP.
“The reason I want you is because you’re interesting. In the seven Atlantises, there hasn’t been a human who has pleased me as much as you.”」
It was a husky woman’s voice. It was a pleasant voice, almost like a professional voice actor.
‘No. It’s not the voice that’s important right now.’
There couldn’t have been anyone like me in Atlantis. What I did in the tutorial was abnormal, even by my own standards. The source of those actions is the Play Life app. From the perspective of the King of the Sky Tower, who knows nothing about the Play Life app, I must have seemed like a madman.
「The Lord of the Heavens sponsors 10,000 AP.
“Surely you know who I am, don’t you?”」
“Of course, I know. The greatest god of Olympus, the god of the sky and thunder. Zeus.”
I shouldn’t say I don’t know here. Zeus gets annoyed if you don’t recognize him.
「The Lord of the Heavens sponsors 10,000 AP.
“Good, you know well. I believe you will make a wise choice.”」
Logically, it’s right to choose Zeus.
I can easily guess why Zeus wants me.
‘Zeus is a well-known womanizer.’
I have to admit it. Zeus and I have some similarities. When it comes to women, that is.
“……First, can I check my classes? It won’t take long anyway. I’ll reveal my classes to you.”
「The Lord of the Heavens nods.」
「The King of the Sky Tower is preparing something.」
I was planning to think carefully about the formal contract while checking my classes.
The Lord of the Heavens also agreed. They must be curious about what classes I can choose.
‘In the original story, the deities like this kind of thing.’
「There are a total of 7 classes that Sung Yu-jin can choose.」
「1. Gladiator
Strength +7, Agility +5, Stamina +7, Mana +3
Class Skills: Swordsmanship (C), Combat Recovery (B).
“The only thing you can trust is your sword.”」
‘Hmm. It’s one of the ordinary classes.’
It’s not hard to figure out why I can choose the Gladiator class. I used the Hwaryeon Flying Blades in the tutorial. If I had used a bow or spear instead of a sword, I might have gotten a class like Archer or Spearman.
‘I want Combat Recovery, though.’
Combat Recovery is a skill that, as the name suggests, recovers health or wounds during combat. Of course, it’s not at the same level as using a potion.
It’s not a skill that I absolutely need since I have Complete Recovery. In terms of utility, Combat Recovery can never match Complete Recovery.
「2. Demon
Strength +6, Agility +4, Stamina +5, Mana +12
Class Trait: Demonic Body (B).
“I will transcend humanityyyyyy!!”」
‘Is this… a class that appeared because of the King of the Sky Tower?’
The King of the Sky Tower not only watched me but also sponsored me and gave me missions. The Demon class can only be thought of as the influence of the King of the Sky Tower.
‘Mana increases by 12.’
There’s no need to be disappointed that there’s only one class skill. Class skills can appear on their own later as your stats increase.
The class skill Demonic Body is a passive that increases physical abilities.
‘This is a high-level class.’
「3. Politician (The Korean Chicken)
Strength +1, Agility +1, Stamina +2, Mana +7, Luck +2
Class Skills: Backroom Deal (A), Box (C)
“The president’s power ranking is only third.”
“You all know this is a lie, right?”」
“……”
I was speechless.
The reason this class appeared is probably because of my unique trait, ‘Deception (A)’.
I quickly moved on to the next class.
「4. Politician (The Japanese Monkey)
Strength +1, Agility +1, Stamina +2, Mana +7, Luck +2
Class Skills: Distortion (A), Inheritance (B)
“It’s strange that the people have sovereignty in the first place.”
“I am the state.”」
“……”
I was speechless again.
Surely the next class isn’t like this too.
…What I feared happened.
「5. Politician (The Chinese Bear)
Strength +1, Agility +1, Stamina +2, Mana +7, Luck +2
Class Skills: Public Security (S), Censorship (C).
“Arise, you who do not want to be slaves!”
“Everyone who arose was taken by Public Security.”」
It was absurd, but at this point, I started to think seriously.
‘The Distortion skill is similar to my Deception skill… and Backroom Deal is a hypnosis-type skill.’
Even so, the opponents I can use the Backroom Deal skill on are limited, and hypnosis isn’t well-regarded in this world.
‘Public Security is… amazing.’
It’s a skill that summons soldiers who faithfully follow your orders. You can summon one soldier per mana point, and the summoned soldiers last for about 3 hours.
‘Censorship is also great. It’s limited, but you can see the opponent’s status window information, class, and contracted deity.’
The Public Security and Censorship skills are quite appealing.
I decided to keep the Politician (The Chinese Bear) class for now.
‘…The next class isn’t a politician, is it?’
Thankfully, it wasn’t.
「6. Trainer
Strength +2, Agility +2, Stamina +2, Mana +3, Luck +3
Class Skills: Pleasure Training (A), Restraint (C).
“Humans are also animals. They can be trained.”」
‘Pleasure Training has the ability to give pleasure to the opponent… That’s good?’
The Trainer class seems to be the result of me training Yoo Seo-hee and Joo Seo-hyun in the tutorial.
Besides Pleasure Training, the Restraint skill was quite useful. Being able to stop the opponent’s movements would be a great help in combat.
‘Let’s see. The last, 7th class is….’
「7. Thunderclap Swordsman
Strength +3, Agility +5, Stamina +2, Mana +8
Class Skills: Ten Thousand Thunders (C)
“First verse, second verse, third verse, Thunderclap!”
“My Ten Thousand Thunders is only C-rank…! Damn it, really….”」
‘This is probably a class that appeared because of Zeus.’
I can’t find any other reason.
Ten Thousand Thunders (C) seems to be a skill that uses lightning. You can’t ignore it just because it’s C-rank. The fact that it’s a skill related to lightning is amazing in itself.
‘If I were to choose a class, it would be either Demon or Thunderclap Swordsman.’
Trainer.
I can’t deny that it’s an appealing class.
But I can use Pleasure Training even without getting the Trainer class. I have the Orgasm Enhancement skill.
‘If I choose Demon, my physical abilities will increase significantly right away… and the Thunderclap Swordsman can use lightning.’
The Thunderclap Swordsman was appealing. Physical abilities can be improved through various methods. On the other hand, using lightning might not be possible if not now.
‘I haven’t mastered the Thunder Flash and Shadow Veil of the Yeongcheon Style.’
According to Jin Se-young, who can be called my master of the Yeongcheon Style, you need to understand lightning and shadows to obtain Thunder Flash or Shadow Veil.
It’s useless for someone else to tell you about lightning and shadows; you have to realize it yourself.
‘Damn it. Lightning is lightning, and shadows are shadows. What more do I need to know….’
Maybe if I choose the Thunderclap Swordsman, I’ll learn about lightning and acquire Thunder Flash.
Is it because I’m quietly contemplating my class?
The deities watching me were the ones who were in an uproar.
「The Lord of the Heavens sponsors 10,000 AP.
“Choose the Thunderclap Swordsman. You’re lucky. The Thunderclap Swordsman is a class that’s not easy to obtain.”」
“Ah. Is that so? Should I?”
My heart was already leaning towards the Thunderclap Swordsman.
If I chose the Thunderclap Swordsman and made a formal contract with Zeus, the synergy would be incredible.
「The King of the Sky Tower sponsors 10,000 AP.
“Wait! Choose Demon. I’ll give you a good skill that suits the Demon.”」
My eyes sparkled.
“A skill? What kind of skill are you talking about?”
My tone towards the King of the Sky Tower became polite. If she’s going to sponsor me with a good skill, I can easily use honorifics.
「The King of the Sky Tower sponsors 10,000 AP.
“If you choose Demon and contract with me, I’ll give you the Heavenly Demon Divine Art.”」
「The King of the Sky Tower shows you the Heavenly Demon Divine Art.」
「Heavenly Demon Divine Art (天魔神功)
A martial art created directly by the King of the Sky Tower.
Type: Skill
Rank: S」
“Heavenly Demon Divine Art!”
I said in surprise.
Isn’t that a martial art that everyone and their dog learns in martial arts or fantasy novels?
I felt my heart flutter.
Heavenly Demon Divine Art. It’s a martial art that everyone and their dog learns, but that means it’s an incredibly outstanding martial art.
「The King of the Sky Tower sponsors 10,000 AP.
“I know that you Koreans really like the Heavenly Demon Divine Art.”」
“Yes. I’m crazy about the Heavenly Demon. You know your stuff!”
Even I am excited about the Heavenly Demon Divine Art right now.
「The King of the Sky Tower sponsors 10,000 AP.
“If you make a formal contract with me, you can become the Heavenly Demon Sovereign.”」
“Heavenly Demon… Sovereign…!”
Sovereign.
What a wonderful word to hear.
My heart rapidly leaned towards the King of the Sky Tower.
「The Lord of the Heavens sponsors 10,000 AP.
“Tsk. That devil is up to no good…. Choose me, Sung Yu-jin. I will bestow upon you the Thunder Judgment.”」
